When you replace to the repairing board, the written destination data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “DESTINATION DATA WRITE”.

When you replace to the repairing board, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “RESTORE DATA” to get the data. 
The data getting for this model is as follows.

• PRODUCT ID & USB SERIAL No. INPUT
• Lens data carry
• AWB adj
• Light sensor adj
• Eye sensor adj
• EVF Data Input

The unit is shipped after an ID (USB Serial No.) unique to each unit and an ID (Product ID) unique to each model have been written.
These IDs have not been written in a new board for service, and therefore they must be entered after the board replacement.
After the board has been replaced with a board for service, start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “PRODUCT ID & USB 
SERIAL No. INPUT” and enter these IDs.

Note: A newly entered Product ID is not always equal to the ID before board replacement. If the new ID differs from the previous ID, it may cause a difference from 

the ID registered by the customer.

When a board that contains Wi-Fi has been replaced or when replacing a board that contains the main IC (CPU), the IC’s unique number (MAC ad-
dress) must be reloaded.
Perform the following procedure to reload the IC’s unique number (MAC address).

1.  Download the latest-version Adjust Manual.
2.  Install the downloaded Adjust Manual.
3.  Start the Adjust Manual, and execute “Wireless LAN check” on the ADJUST tab.
4.  Perform the following operations for the unit to initialize.
 MENU 

→   → [Reset Network Set.] → [OK] → ●

5.  Perform the following operations for the unit to display MAC address.
 MENU 

→   → [Disp MAC Address] → ●

6.  Confirm that the displayed MAC address has been updated.

Applicable parts
•  SY-1036 BOARD, COMPLETE (SERVICE)
 

Note: The LOAD AND WRITE function in ADJUSTMENT DATA BACKUP on the DATA tab in the Adjust manual overwrites all data of the unit.
 

Therefore, the MAC address updated during the above procedure is also overwritten.

Perform the above operations after all work has been done.

After the replacement and repair, the MAC address is changed, and thus the re-setting for connection devices is required. Accordingly, download the 
Flyer of WLAN Reset (Flyer of WLAN Reset_9834752[][].pdf) and print out it, and attach it to the set when returning the set to customer.

When you replace to the repairing board, write down the sensitivity displayed on the angular velocity sensor (SE7701).
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “Angular velocity sensor sensitivity ADJ”.

Note: The sensor sensitivity of SE7701 of SY-1036 board is written only repair parts.

When replacing the lens, read the QR code of the repair lens.
To read the QR code, start the Adjust manual and press the QR code reader button.
The read data is used in the following processes.
•  Selection of Spacer Plate when mounting the imager board
•  Adjustment after replacing the lens

1.  Load the Spacer Plate on the QR code reader screen.
2.  The thickness of the Spacer Plate to be loaded is displayed.

 

3.  Select the Spacer Plate according to the instructions on the screen and mount the imager board.

Perform LOAD from “Lens data carry” on the ADJUST tab in the Adjust manual.

When the CD-847 Flexible Board (Imager) is mounted to the lens, shift and tilt adjustment is made with Spacer Plates.
When removing the CD-847 Flexible Board, pay attention to the following.

(1)  When the lens is not replaced
 

Example: In the case of disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the CD-847 Flexible Board (Imager)

•  Check and record the size of the built-in three Spacer Plates and store them so as not to lose them.
•  When assembling the CD-847 Flexible Board, be sure to install the Spacer Plates to their original locations.

Size

0.xx

Note
Be careful not to lose the Spacer Plates.
If any Spacer Plate is lost or their previous positions are not sure, repeatedly take a photo and check that there is no local defocus. 

(2)  When the lens is replaced

 

Refer to “1-2. NOTES ON REPLACING THE LENS” for select Spacer Plates and install them to the new lens.

Adjustment values of each EVF display device (LCD902) are stored on the SY board.
Therefore, when the LCD902 or the SY board has been replaced, write adjustment values.

Example of the label which is put on repairing EVF display device (LCD902)

Note:  When a label is mention such as the illustration, please read it follows.
 

Brightness value: 256

 

White balance value: 874

When LCD902 is replaced:
1.  Check and write down the adjustment values printed on the repairing EVF display device (LCD902) label.
2.  After the LCD902 has been replaced, execute “EVF Data Input” on the ADJUST tab by using the Adjust manual to write the adjustment values.

When replacing SY board (in case adjustment values can be read):
1.  In case the unrepaired unit starts and adjustment values can be read by using the Adjust manual, execute “ADJUSTMENT DATA BACKUP” on 

the DATA tab.

2.   After the SY board has been replaced with a SY board for repair, execute “ADJUSTMENT DATA BACKUP” on the DATA tab of the Adjust 

manual to write the extracted data to the unit.

When replacing SY board (in case adjustment values cannot be read):
Consult with each Head Quarters.

This unit makes it possible to disassemble the EVF from the finished state to clean it.
When a problem related to dust is indicated from a customer, remove the VF Unit Assy in the following procedure and clean it.
When cleaning the VF Unit Assy, use birdlime or the like to remove dust. (Recommended jig: J-6082-726-A CLEANING STICK II)

Note 1:  Carry out the cleaning work in a clean environment to avoid dust or foreign matter during disassembling.
 

Use a clean booth if possible.

Note 2:  Do not use an air blower because it raises surrounding dust.
Note 3:  Do not use cleaning cloth that causes wiping unevenness.

Preparation:
Create a jig as shown below by bending fine wire.
