Important service information and precautions

Repair must be performed by professional service technicians in a repair center. End users should not perform these procedures.
Please note during servicing that the primary side is the high voltage area.
This monitor meets ROHS requirements. Be sure to use lead-free solder wire when soldering.
If you must change a capacitor, be sure to match the polarity as printed on the PCB.
If you must replace a capacitor, make sure the specification and part number match the BOM and location.
If you must replace a capacitor, insert new parts carefully to avoid a short circuit caused by the near pin.
Do not get the board wet. Water and moisture can cause a short circuit that causes malfunctions.
To avoid damage, be sure to use lead-free solder.
When soldering, work quickly to avoid overheating the circuit board.
Keep the soldering iron tip clean and well tinned when replacing parts.
After repair, perform a close inspection of the circuit board to confirm it is in good condition.
After repair, perform a function test to confirm the power supply is working properly.

ERP Lot5 requirement

A professional repairer must have the technical competence to repair electronic displays and comply with the applicable regulations for repairers of electrical equipment in the Member States where the repairer operates. Reference to an official registration system as professional repairer, where such a system exists in the Member States, shall be accepted as proof of compliance.
A professional repairer must have insurance that covers liabilities resulting from repairs, regardless of whether required by the Member State.

RoHS (2002/95/EC) requirements
