5, Broken chain

 

A broken chain is like a missing chip.

But the broken chain is not the chip to find the core is abnormal

Instead, all the chips on the back 

of the abnormal chip fail because of an abnormal chip. Like a chip book. I can work.

But it does not forward other chip information

Then

The 

entire signal chain will come to an abrupt halt here.

Lose a large part of

Like 

what

When the test box detects the chip,

Only detected 14 A chip

If the preset number of chips is not detected in the test box It's not 

working.

So it only shows how many chips are detected.

At this point, only the numbers displayed“14”

In section 14 Detect the voltage 

and impedance of each test point before and after a chip can find a problem Area 

 

6, do not run

 

Do not run means that the test box does not detect the chip information of the Operation board

and display NO hash board

This phenomenon is most 

common

The range of faults involved is also wide.

The problem can be identified by 

measuring the voltages in each voltage domain.

   When testing a box test

But after the machine installed, the calculation force is low.

Most of this is related to the cooling conditions of the 

chip.

Need to pay special attention to each chip of the small heat sink with glue

and the whole  

 The ventilation performance of the machine. Another reason is that a chip's voltage is at a critical

After loading the machine

●Maintenance Instructions

 

1, maintenance

The service technician must be familiar with the function and flow direction of each test point, the normal voltage value and the 

impedance value of the ground. 2, must be familiar with chip welding

To avoid causing PCB Blistering deformation or pin damage. 

3

bm1387 Chip encapsulation,Chip on both sides 16 Feet. Polarity and coordinates must be aligned when soldering

cannot be misplaced. 

4, when replacing the chip

Must clean the heat conduction fixing glue around the chip

Lest IC The chip is damaged two times when it is not floating or cooling 

properly during welding. 
 

● Precautions

 

1.Because the back of the chip is connected to the chip

Special slender pen must be used to detect test point signals

And the stylus is exposed to metal except the 

contact tip.

Other places must be used Heat shrinkable tube Sealing off insulation

In order to avoid the test point

The stylus is exposed to both the heatsink and 

the test point. The voltage difference between the two-row circuit is very large.

Simultaneous exposure to different voltage domains

(散

 Hot film

And the test point 

would create a man-made damage chip.

Special attention. 

2.Welding

Because the back of the chip is tightly attached PCB Plate of the small heat sink

Heat conduction is faster. So in the welding must need to use the bottom 

auxiliary heating

200 degree or so

),

can improve efficiency and reduce the PCB Damage to the board. If there is no bottom heating device

When replacing the 

chip

The back of the chip must first be PCB The small heatsink on the board is taken down and replaced. 

 

New fault type please contact our engineering department in time

We will continue to analyze and update this content
