KDL-46NX810/55NX810/55NX811/60NX810 HANDLING THE GLASS ASSEMBLY Use the following precautionary guidelines when replacing the Glass Assembly to avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, and ensure that dust, dirt, or fingerprints are not left between the glass and the LCD panel. R Replace the Glass Assembly in a brightly lit and clean room. R Place the replacement Glass Assembly on a dark cloth to make it easier to see dust and dirt particles. R Wear anti static gloves to avoid leaving finger prints on the glass. R Use a dry, soft MicroFiber cloth, such as a lint free polishing cloth, to gently wipe the glass to remove any dust or dirt particles. R If the glass needs additional cleaning, slightly moisten the cloth with a diluted mild soap or mild detergent solution, or use a compressed air duster (spray can type). R After replacing the Glass Assembly, verify there are no dark spots or finger prints visible on the screen.

KDL-46NX810/55NX810/55NX811/60NX810 SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN REPLACING THE LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY Use the following precautionary guidelines when handling the LCD Panel Assembly to avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, and ensure that dust, dirt, or fingerprints are not left between the glass and the LCD Panel Assembly. 1. After removing the boards and connectors, note where the frame is on the panel. (See Figure 1) 2. Lift the LCD Panel Assembly by holding the top and bottom of the panel approximately 200mm from the edge with your palms on the back of the panel. (See Figure 2) CAUTION: Lifting or holding the panel at the corners may damage the panel. 3. Use the same method when taking the replacement panel out of the carton. (See Figure 3) Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 CAUTION: DO NOT lift the LCD Panel by holding the short side of the panel or by placing your palms on the front glass.

POUR TRANSPORTER LE TÉLÉVISEUR • T ransportez le téléviseur av ec le nombre de personnes approprié ; un téléviseur de grande taille doit être transporté par au moins deux personnes. • L ors du transport du téléviseur , l’emplacement des mains est très important pour vo tre sécurité, ainsi que pour év iter de causer des dommages.
KDL-46NX810/55NX810/55NX811/60NX810 SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING There are critical components used in LCD color TVs that are important for safety. These components are identified with shading and mark on the schematic diagrams and the electrical parts list. It is essential that these critical parts be replaced only with the part number specified in the electrical parts list to prevent electric shock, fire, or other hazard.

Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This requires soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.

KDL-46NX810/55NX810/55NX811/60NX810 SAFETY CHECK-OUT The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and After correcting the original service problem, perform the following from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA bridges. WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these instructions. 2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are pinched” or touching high-wattage resistors. 2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job. 3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that you have replaced all the insulators. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. 4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital customer and recommend their replacement. multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A). 5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their How to Find a Good Earth Ground replacement.
