Toshiba 47L64xxD series LCD Colour Television – Service mode – Hotel mode – software update – main board exchange – entering serial number – and more

 

  Always respect voltages. While some may not be dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into a powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation. It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.

  The melting temperature of lead-free solder is higher than that of leaded solder by 30ºC to 40ºC (54ºF to 72ºF). Use of a soldering iron designed for lead-based solders to repair product made with lead-free solder may result in damage to the component and or PCB being soldered. Great care should be made to ensure high-quality soldering when servicing this product especially when soldering large components, through-hole pins, and on PCBs as the level of heat required to melt lead-free solder is high.

  Depending on the model, use an isolation transformer or wear suitable gloves when servicing with the power on, and disconnect the power plug to avoid electrical shock when replacing parts. In some cases, alternating current is also impressed in the chassis, so electrical shock is possible if the chassis is contacted with the power on.
