In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4 Vdc), 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.

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”.
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 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.

Before replacing the board with a spare board, acquire the following data from the current board.
•  Fixed value (that shows irradiation performance of the projector).
•  Serial number of the projector unit.
To acquire the data, start Adjust Manual from Adjust Station and select [Projector Data Reference] on the [DATA] tab.

When replacing a VC board, the IC’s unique number (MAC address) must be reloaded.
After the board has been replaced with a board for service, perform the following procedure to reload the IC’s unique number (MAC address).

Note:  Perform this operations after all work has been done.

1.  Download the latest-version Adjust Manual.
2.  Install the downloaded Adjust Manual.
3.  Start the Adjust Manual, and execute “Wireless LAN Setting (MAC address)” on the ADJUST tab.

If “Wireless LAN check” is not executed and the backup data before replacement is restored, the MAC address in the Wi-Fi module does not match 
the MAC address in the flash memory, causing an error during Wi-Fi transfer.

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.

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.

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)

• 14DdmMmcReadTestMINI_v6.vbe
• 14DdmMmcMakePartition_v6.vbe

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.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis 
function starts working, and displays on the Viewfinder or 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 
Viewfinder or 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.

Procedure

1

Turn the power OFF.

2

While measuring with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R1401 in the periphery of IC6800 on the VC-1025 board, turn the power 
ON to check that the output voltage immediately after the power on change as shown in Fig. 2.

3

If the output voltage change as shown in Fig. 2, replace the lens block (Note). If it does not change as shown in Fig. 2, inspect the camera 
control circuit (IC6000 of VC-1025 board) periphery.

Note:  When the lens block was replaced, start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the necessary adjustment items.
 

After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the handheld operation.

Order

Procedure

1

Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the [Measure to E:62:11/12] on the [SERVICE] tab.

2

Check if the shift lens moves while setting the order 1.
If the shift lens does not move, replace the lens block (Note).
When the shift lens moved, proceed to the order 3.

3

While setting the order 1, measure with an oscilloscope the output voltage of C6816 and C6817 in the periphery of IC6800 on the VC-
1025 board to check the output voltage varies.

4

If the output voltage does not vary, replace the lens block (Note).
When the output voltage varied, proceed to the order 5.

5

Turn the power OFF.

6

While measuring with an oscilloscope the output voltage of R1401 in the periphery of IC6800 on the VC-1025 board, turn the power 
ON to check that the output voltage immediately after the power on change as shown in Fig. 2.

7

If the output voltage rises to 3V, replace the lens block (Note).
If it does not rises to 3V, inspect the camera control circuit IC6000 and IC6800 on the VC-1025 board periphery.

Note:  When the lens block was replaced, start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the necessary adjustment items.
 

After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the handheld operation.

Procedure

1

Turn the power ON.

2

Confirm the connections of flexible flat cables and connectors between the lens block and VC-1025 board.

3

In case of no malfunction of connections, replace the lens block with new one (Note) . When the error has occurred in spite of the lens
replacement, replace VC-1025 board with new one.

Note:  When the lens block was replaced, start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the necessary adjustment items.
 

After the adjustment, make sure with the STEADYSHOT turned ON that the steadyshot functions appropriately in the handheld operation.

Refer to the following flowchart when repairing or inspecting the projector’s projection function.

If you have received an indication on the projector’s projection function from the customer, check defective part according to the following flow-
chart. 
When a defective part has been clarified, repair the projector according to the check result.

Note 1: The projector unit (copper plate in particular) becomes hot after it is used.
 

When replacing a part of the projector unit, wait until it is cooled down.

 

Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.

Note 2: Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.
 

Never use a solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner; acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent; or a chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the lens sur-
face.
