TS-440S INTERMITTENT OPERATION 01/24/89
When intermittent problems such as erratic display, loss of front panel
control, or frequency lock-up are encountered, the PLL and Control
circuits must be checked to determine which circuit is malfunctioning.
While any number of components may cause such problems, if the Control
circuit is suspect, there is a possibility that the ROM socket is at
fault. The socket should be tested to determine if it is making good
electrical contact with each pin on the ROM. If it is found to be
defective, remove the socket and solder the ROM directly to the board.
The ROM is IC52 on Control Unit (B/2). It should be noted that units
with a serial number of 909XXXX and above do not incorporate a socket.
CAUTION
Removing the socket from the board requires good soldering skills. The
board, being double sided, has solder connections on both component
and foil sides. When the socket is removed, it is very important to
insure that each pin is completely solder free. Having to pry up on
the socket means that it is not completely desoldered and will cause
the circuit foils to tear.
When performing any work on the Control boards, CMOS handling
techniques must be observed. Such techniques include using a grounded
or isolated soldering tip, avoid touching the pins of IC chips with
your fingers, and ground yourself with a wrist ground strap.
To remove the socket:
1. Disconnect the power supply and antenna.
2. Remove both the top and bottom covers from the transceiver.
Disconnect the speaker cable from the transceiver.
3. Remove 2 countersunk screws from each side of the front panel
chassis and gently pull the front panel forward.
4. Loosen the 5 round head screws (2 on top and 3 on the bottom) that
secure the shield plate inside the front panel and then remove the
plate.
5. Set the transceiver on its left side and fold the front panel back
to expose Control board (B/2). Do not stress the cables.
6. While avoiding contact with the pins, remove the ROM (IC52) and set
it aside on anti-static foam.
7. Unplug connectors 56 - 58 from Control board (B/2).
8. Remove 3 brass screws from Control board (B/2). Do not remove the
fourth screw that connects to the angle bracket. Instead, remove
the brass screw from Control board (A/2) so the angle bracket stays
with the top board.
9. Fold the top board towards the body of the transceiver. Be very
careful not to stress the flat ribbon cables that are soldered
between the two boards.
NOTE
If the foil side of the board is not sufficiently exposed for
desoldering purposes, remove the 3 hex bosses from the bottom Control
board. Pull both boards forward and open them like a book to allow the
best access to the foil side of Control board (B/2).
10. Carefully desolder the socket and remove it from the board. Do not
pry up on the socket. If it does not easily pull off the board, the
top foils are still soldered to the socket.
11. Install the ROM in the board and solder it in place.
12. Assemble the transceiver by reversing steps 1 - 9. If the bottom
board was removed, do not pinch the wire harness under the board
during installation. If the harness produces excessive stress on the
board, solder connections may become intermittent.
Time required for this modification is 1.5 hrs or less. (C) 011089TKC
