Repair Hints
1) During repair it is possible to disconnect the ECO6 Tuner Board completely unless the fault is suspected to be in that area. This will not affect the performance of the rest of the set.
2) The flex cables are very fragile, care should be taken not to damage them during repair. After repair, be very sure that the flex cables are inserted properly into the flex sockets before encasing, otherwise faults may occurs.
