How to Replace the Lithium Battery

The lithium battery is a critical component.

(Type No.: ML-614S/DN Manufactured by Energy Company, Panasonic Corporation)
It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge.
It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.
Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.
They must be fitted in the same manner and location as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts observed.
Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it for any other purpose.
It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.

1. Remove the Monitor P.C.B.
2. Unsolder the Lithium Battery "ML-614S/DN" and then replace the new one.

How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model)

There are eight kinds of SDR-H100/H101, regardless of the colours.
 a) SDR-H100P
 b) SDR-H100PC
 c) SDR-H100EB/EC/EF/EG/EP, SDR-H101EB
 d) SDR-H100EE
 e) SDR-H100GT
 f ) SDR-H101GA/GN
 g) SDR-H101GK
 h) SDR-H101PR/PU/GC
What is the difference is that the "INITIAL SETTINGS" data which is stored in Flash ROM mounted on Main P.C.B.

To define the model suffix to be serviced, refer to the nameplate which is putted on the bottom side of the Unit

After replacing the MAIN P.C.B., be sure to achieve adjustment.

Stereo mode: 80 W + 80 W (4Ω at 1kHz)

 The pick-up incorporates a strong magnet, and so should never be brought close to magnetic materials.
 ✓The pick-up should always be handled correctly and carefully, taking care to avoid external pressure and impact. If it is subjected to strong pressure or impact, the result may be an operational malfunction and/or damage to the printed-circuit board.
 ✓Each and every pick-up is already individually adjusted to a high degree of precision, and for that reason the adjustment point and installation screws should absolutely never be touched.
 ✓Laser beams may damage the eyes. Never permit laser beams to enter the eyes.
Also NEVER switch ON the power to the laser output part (lens, etc.) of the pick-up if it is damaged.

✓ NEVER look directly at the laser beam, and don’t allow contact with fingers or other exposed skin.

 ✓Never attempt to disassemble the pick-up.
Spring has excess pressure. If the lens is extremely dirty, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cotton swab.
(Do not use any other liquid cleaners, because they will damage the lens.) 

✓Take care not to use too much of this alcohol on the swab, and do not allow the alcohol to get inside the pick-up.

Software Upgrade
Samsung may offer upgrades for the TV’s firmware in the future. These upgrades can be performed via the TV when it is connected to the Internet, or by downloading the new firmware from samsung.com to a USB memory device.
• Alternative Software (Backup) shows The previous version that will be replaced.
• Software is represented as ‘Year/Month/Day_Version’. The more recent the date, the newer the software version Installing the latest version is recommended.

By USB
Insert a USB drive containing the firmware upgrade downloaded from samsung.com into the TV. Please be careful to not disconnect the power or remove the USB drive while upgrades are being applied. The TV will turn off and turn on automatically after completing the firmware upgrade. Please check the firmware version after the upgrades are complete (the new version will have a higher number than the older version). When software is upgraded, video and audio settings you have made will return to their default (factory) settings. We recommend you write down your settings so that you can easily reset them after the upgrade.

By Online
Upgrades the software using the Internet.
• First, configure your network. For detailed procedures on using the Network Setting, refer to the ‘Setting the Network’ instructions.
• If The internet connection doesn’t operate properly, connection can be broken, please retry downloading. If the problem still happens, download by USB and upgrade.

Alternative Software (Backup)
If there is an issue with the new firmware and it is affecting operation, you can change the software to the previous version.
• If Software was changed, existing Software is displayed.
• you can change current Software to Alternative Software by ‘Alternative Software’.

Troubleshooting: Previous Check

1. Check the various cable connections frst.
- Check to see if there is a burnt or damaged cable.
- Check to see if there is a disconnected or loose cable connection.
- Check to see if the cables are connected according to the connection diagram.
2. Check the power input to the Main Board.

3. How to distinguish if the problem is caused by Main Board or T CON

How to know it is from Main Board or T-Con when some problems happen

1. No Picture : Backlight is on, but there is no picture and LED indicator in front of TV is blinking.
- Check the LVDS Cable connection. If still problems, change the T-Con Board and then Main Board step by step.
2. Picture distortion : Enter the service mode ⇢ Choose ‘SVC’ ⇢ Check the ‘internal pattern.’
To  Enter ‘Service Mode.

3. Choose ‘SVC.’
4. Choose ‘Test pattern.’
5. Select the each pattern and then check all pattern is ok or not.

* If pattern status is OK, fault might be at its main board. Front of the NOVATEX IC has the problem.

* If pattern is not good, Panel and T-Con board should be suspected.

NO Power problem

If you replace the main board with new one, change the factory option as well.
The options you must change are "Type".
