Exterior Parts; Safety Check-Out - Sony DSLR-A500 Service Manual

CHEMICALS
Some chemicals used for servicing are highly volatile.
Their evaporation caused by improper management affects your
health and environment, and wastes resources.
Manage the chemicals carefully as follows.
• Store chemicals sealed in a specific place to prevent from ex-
posure to high temperature or direct sunlight.
• Avoid dividing chemicals into excessive numbers of small
containers to reduce natural evaporation.
• Keep containers sealed to avoid natural evaporation when
chemicals are not in use.
• Avoid using chemicals as much as possible. When using
chemicals, divide only required amount to a small plate from
the container and use up it.
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK OR DOTTED LINE WITH
MARK ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE
COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS
APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS
PUBLISHED BY SONY.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

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
• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 °C
during repairing.
• 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.

EXTERIOR PARTS

Be careful to the following points for plastic parts used in this unit.
• Use a piece of cleaning paper or cleaning cloth for cleaning
plastic parts. Avoid using chemicals.
Even if you have to use chemicals to clean heavy dirt, don't use
paint thinner, ketone, nor alcohol.
• Insert the specific screws vertically to the part when installing
a plastic part.
Be careful not to tighten screws too much.

UNLEADED SOLDER
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.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
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 tempera-
ture 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 unleaded solder and leaded solder will cause detachment
phenomenon.
