PRS-600 SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTES
NOTE THE EACH BOARDS REPAIRING The mount parts on each boards installed in this set cannot exchange with single. When the each boards are damaged, exchange the entire mounted board. NOTE OF REPLACING THE COMPLETE MAIN BOARD OR CHASSIS_ASSY Please do the following work when you exchange complete MAIN board or CHASSIS_ASSY.
Note: INK INDICATOR ELEMENT is included in CHASSIS_ASSY.

· Lot number confirm method of Ink Indicator Element The lot number is printed on the bar code label of the flexible flat cable of INK INDICATOR ELEMENT. In the example of the figure below, the lot number is "B526".

· ·

VCOM VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT: Refer to page 10. REWRITING THE LUT: Refer to this page.

REWRITING THE LUT As for INK INDICATOR ELEMENT, the parameter that rewrites the screen of each lot number is different. This parameter is called LUT (Look Up Table). When replacing the complete MAIN board or CHASSIS_ASSY (including INK INDICATOR ELEMENT) you need to rewrite the LUT. However, rewriting is not required if the lot number is the same.
Note 1: Confirm the "LUT" version corresponding to the lot number of Ink Indicator Element and LUT file, and the test mode data to each service headquarters. Note 2: LUT is written in IC705 of the MAIN board. MAIN board

chassis_assy

Refer to the following for the confirm method of the LUT version and the method of changing LUT. · Confirm method of LUT version Enters the test mode when SD memory card with test mode data is inserted in this set while pressing the [HOME] and [VOL +] buttons. Check the current LUT version displayed at the right side of "8. Update Waveform" as in the screen below. The LUT version is "8202191919" in this example.
LUT version

· How to change the LUT: Copy the LUT file you want to update to the folder under "/Sony Reader/software/data/" in the SD memory card exclusive for the test mode, and then change the name to "lut.bin". Execute test mode "8. Update Waveform". The LUT will be updated in about 10 seconds, and the screen changes into all white. Press the [RESET] button and reboot the set. Enter the test mode again, and confirm LUT version has been updated.
Note 3: To create the SD memory card exclusive for the test mode, refer to TEST MODE (Page 8).

PRS-600 SECTION 4 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
VCOM VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT VCOM voltage for the Ink Indicator Element varies for each Ink Indicator Element. VCOM adjustment is required when replacing MAIN board or CHASSIS_ASSY.
Note: Ink Indicator Element is included in CHASSIS_ASSY.

Fig. 1:

VCOM voltage

Voltage is generated only when the screen is changed, so the adjustment needs to be performed while changing the screen. Use the slideshow function to change the screen sequentially. Procedure: 1. Refer to test mode "17. Slideshow Setting". The setting is "ON". 2. Refer to test mode "1. Test Panel". Enter the "Test Panel", check that the slideshow start. 3. Observe the TP940 on an oscilloscope (refer to Fig. 2), and use RV901 to adjust the voltage that is generated when the screen is changed so that it satisfies the standard. Standard: Written on the flexible card wire of the display panel with a marker. (­1 V to ­2.5 V) (refer to Fig. 1) (In case of Fig. 1: The value of VCOM is ­1.94 V.) Adjustment Location:
