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
Applied to all countries that require RoHS.
The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance in Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive) is a legal requirement by the EU (European Union) for the
global electronics industry sold in the EU and other countries. Any electrical
and electronics products launched in the market after June 2006 should meet
this RoHS requirement. Products launched in the market before June 2006 are
not required to be compliant with RoHS parts. If the original parts are not
RoHS complaint, the replacement parts can be non-ROHS compliant. If the
original parts are RoHS compliant, the replacement parts MUST be RoHS
complaint.
If product service or maintenance requires replacing parts, confirm the RoHS
requirement before replacement.
General descriptions
This manual contains general information. There are two levels of service:
- Level 1: Cosmetic/appearance/alignment service
