1. Checkthe area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entireboard surfacefor solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which,through functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270˚C
during repairing.
•Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
•Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
Unleaded solder
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
•Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350°C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
•Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.
•Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

1-2. DISCHARGING OF THE SL-61 FLEXIBLE BOARD’S CHARGING CAPACITOR
(C601)
1 kΩ/1 W
Wrap insulating tape.
1-2-2. Discharging the Capacitor
Short-circuit between theA (positive) and the B (negative) terminals
on the ST-80 board with the short jig about 10 seconds.
1-1. NOTE FOR REPAIR
Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of
bent at the terminal.
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly.
Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
pieces of gilt may be left inside)
When remove a connector, don’t pull at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.
When installing a connector, don’t press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.
Thecharging capacitor (C601)of theSL-61 flexible board is charged
up to the maximum 300 V potential.
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by the
charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the main
power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the remaining
voltage must be discharged as described below.
1-2-1. Preparing the Short Jig
To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of a
resistor of 1 kΩ/1 W (1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to prevent
electrical shock.

1-4. PROCEDURES FORWATERPROOF CHECK
Waterproof check needs to be performed with the following
procedures, because after the service, the unit can not be put into
water with its internalunit installed to check waterproofingproperty.
1-4-1. Preparation
1. Remove the LCD and the electrical unit from the main cabinet
assy.
1-4-2. Assembling the Cabinet Assy
1. Fix the LCD cabinet assy to the main cabinet assy with four
screws.
Note : Before installation,checkthatno dirt,no hair,no sand,
no dust, no salt or no lint, is attached on the O-ring
andtheO-ring matingsurfaceofthe LCD cabinetassy.
:Dirt or damages on the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface become a cause of water leakage.
Check the Mating surface (LCD Cabinet assy)

2. Close the waterproof cover and lock the lock switch.
Note : Before installation, checkthat no dirt,no hair,no sand,
no dust, no salt or no lint, is attached on the O-ring
andthe O-ring mating surfaceof the waterproof cover.
:Dirt or damages on the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface become a cause of water leakage.
Check the Mating surface (Waterproof cover)
1-4-3. Waterproof Check
The method of checking waterproofing property is to put the
prepared unit into water and leave it.
1. Put the unit into water in a tank, a bath tub or a swimming pool,
and leave it at least 15 to 20 minutes. Depth of water in the tank
should be 1.5 m.
2. After 15 to 20 minutes, pick up the unit from water and wipe
the unit with clean, dry, soft cloth. Then open the LCD cabinet
assy and the waterproof cover and check that no water leakage
can be seen.
1-4-4. Assembling the Unit
Install removed electrical unit and LCD to the main cabinet assy.
Tighten the LCD cabinet assy with designated torque.
(Refer to 1-4-2. Assembling the Cabinet Assy.)
Tighten the screws by following order
shown in the left figure bit at a time,
then tighten them with designated
torque at last.
