In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 V), the power is shut off 
so that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.

Use the AC power adaptor.

Note the following when replacing the board.

Note:  When replacing the board, it is necessary to change the destination data first. 
 

To change the destination data, execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE] of ADJUST tab in the Adjust Manual.

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 “DESTINATON DATA WRITE”.
After the board replacement, the error of the built-in recording media may be displayed. In this case, execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE]
then the error will be cleared. If it is not cleared with [DESTINATION DATA WRITE], format the built-in recording media.

When you replace to the repairing board, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “USB SERIAL SAVE” to get the data.

The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “USB SERIAL No. INPUT”.

After the board replacement, execute the procedure below first.
1.  Execute the [DESTINATION DATA WRITE] of ADJUST tab in the Adjust Manual.
2.  Execute the script files below. (Refer to the flowchart in Fig. 1)

• 11DdmMmcReadTestMINI_v4.vbe
• 11DdmMmcMakePartition_v4.vbe

Note:  Download the script files from TISS Homepage.
 

When searching in the TISS Homepage, enter “IM_VC_TOOL” for keyword in the Part Number field.

Unless these script files are executed, the following symptoms may appear.
Make sure execute the above script files.
•  The internal memory is not recognized as a media.
•  The management file saved in the internal memory model cannot be repaired.
•  The internal memory cannot be formatted.

During the power is turning-on,

 pull-out the AC-adapter. 

Then connect the AC-adapter Again 

(It's running with blue color monitor.)

Connect to the PC with a USB cable, 

and turn on the power switch.

If the Destination Data file included in the Adjust manual is old, “DESTINATION DATA WRITE” cannot be executed in some cases.
In that case, download a new Destination Data file from the TISS homepage according to the following procedure.

Note 1:  To perform Destination Data Write for this model, the Adjust manual of the DSC-WX50 series must have been installed.
 

Install the Adjust manual of the DSC-WX50 series in advance.

Note 2:  The actual image may differ from the image shown above.

1)  If the Destination Data file in the Adjust manual in use is old, the window shown in Fig. 1 is displayed.
 

Click the [OK] button.

2)  The Destination Data Write window opens.
 

Check the version of the Destination Data file retained in the Adjust manual.

Destination Ver. window

3)  Search the model whose new Destination Data file you want to get on the TISS homepage.
 

When the Destination Data file has been updated, a file with a name “Destination File For ‘model name’.zip” is registered.

(Example) Destination File For DSC-WX50.zip

Furthermore, the version supported by the Destination Data file is shown in the Remarks column.

Note : If the Destination Data file has not been updated, contact the Service Headquarters.

 4)  Download the Destination Data file of the relevant model and unzip the file.

5)  Execute “DESTINATION DATA WRITE” in the Adjust tab of the Adjust manual.
 

Click the [START] button.

6)  Click the [File Update] button in the window.
 

7)  A file selection screen opens. Select the Destination Data file to be added and click the [Open] button.
 

8)  When the file has been successfully added, the following window opens.
 

9)  Check the Destination Ver. window and confirm that the version has been updated.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis 
function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
This function consists of two display; self-diagnosis display and service 
mode display.Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the 
Instruction manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the LCD 
screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and numbers,
which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired 
by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code”of the 
problem.
