Fig. 7 4.1.10. HOW TO ACCESS THE MANUAL TRACKING CONTROL 4.1.11. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE FOR LEADLESS (CHIP) COMPONENT The following procedures are recommended for the replacement of the leadless components used in this Unit. 1. Preparation for replacement A. Soldering Iron Use a pencil-type soldering iron using less than 30 watts.
Page 27
Do not apply heat for more than 4 seconds. D. Preheating Leadless capacitor must be preheated before installation. (130 °C ~ 150 °C, for about 2 minutes.) Note: A. Leadless component must not be reused after removal. B. Excessive mechanical stress and rubbing of the component electrode must be avoided.
Page 28
Note: Do not glue the replacement leadless component to the circuit board. 4.1.12. SPECIAL NOTE All integrated circuits and many other semiconductor devices are electrostatically sensitive and therefore require the special handlings techniques described under the "ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE (ES) DEVICES" section of this service manual. 4.1.13.
