1 Safety Precaution 1.1. General Guidelines 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE (See Figure 1.) There are special components used in this equipment 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the Capacitor on Main PCB CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on MAIN PCB. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on MAIN PCB when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and Remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electro static discharge (ESD).
2.2. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.2.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the Main PCB (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Remove the Lithium battery (Ref. No. “B9101” at foil side of Main PCB) and then replace it into new one. NOTE: This Lithium battery is a critical component.

3 Service Navigation 3.1. Introduction This service manual contains technical information, which allow service personnel’s to understand and service this model. Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers. If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual. 3.2.
3.4. How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model) There are six kinds of DMC-LS2/LS3, regardless of the colours. • a) DMC-LS2S • b) DMC-LS2PP • c) DMC-LS2EB/EF/EG/EGM/GN, LS3EF/EG/EGM • d) DMC-LS2EE • e) DMC-LS2GT • f) DMC-LS2PL/GC/GK/SG (DMC-LS2S is exclusively Japan domestic model.) What is the difference is that the “INITIAL SETTINGS”...

6 Service Mode 6.1. Error Code Memory Function 1. General description This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 32 error codes in sequence from the latest. When the error is occurred more than 32, the oldest error is overwritten in sequence. The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (when the unit is powered on by the battery, the battery is pulled out) because the error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit is powered off.
