COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE WITH 
MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS LIST 
ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPO-

SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY 
SONY. 

LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFIÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0 SUR LES 
DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT 
CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE REM-

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following 

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer.

1.  Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered 

connections. Check the entire board surface for 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

•  Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350 °C approximately.
•  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.

This unit uses 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.)

Be careful to the following points to solder or unsolder.

•   Set the soldering iron tip temperature to 350 °C approximately. 

If cannot control temperature, solder/unsolder at high temperature 
for a short time.
Caution:  The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the 

heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!  

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.

•   Be sure to control soldering iron tips used for unleaded solder and 

those for leaded solder so they are managed separately. Mixing un-
leaded solder and leaded solder will cause detachment phenomenon.

The changed portions from
Ver. 1.1 are shown in blue.

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.

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 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”.

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.

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.
