1 Conditions

1.1 Component classiﬁcations.

After each component, which fault can be veriﬁed by the troubel-shooting guides in

this folder, is the components classiﬁcation written. The components are divided in

four classes, A,B,C and D. The classes are seperated depending on how much of the

phone´s prestanda that is affected by changing the component.

Class A and B:Changing the component doesn´t affect the prestanda that much,

you only have to do a test call toward a real network before you perform a function

test after replacing it.

Class C: The phone has to be calibrated at station level after changing the com-

ponent, since the components tolerances are so large it can affect the prestanda of

the phone.

Class D: It demands advanced equipment and calibration at board level and

because of that class D-components can´t be replaced.

2 No serv or can´t place call.

2.1 Find out if the fault is related to

Rx(reciever) or Tx(transmitter).

Connect the phone (with signaling program) to a GSM test instrument and try to get

serv at -68.5 dBm on the input signal. If the phone gets serv proceed to section 2.2.

If the phone doesn´t get serv, there is probably a fault in the LO part or too big

losses in the signal path. Open the phone and check for liquid damages. Make sure

the antenna connection X101 (class A) isn´t mecanically damaged, unsoldered or

dirty (varnish, glue, oxide...) (Fig 2.1).

Look for soldering faults on C318 (class A), N302 and N303 (all three Fig 2.1).

Measure the resistance of C530, C531, C532, C533, C534 and C535 (>200 kOhm,

all are class A, Fig 2.1).

Measure the resistance of C850 (>100 kOhm, class A, Fig 2.1), C851 (>1 kOhm,

class A, Fig 2.1), C833 (>1 kOhm, class A, Fig 2.1) and C853 (>100 kOhm, class

A, Fig 2.1).

Measue VVCO and VRAD (3.8V, Fig 2.2). If any of the voltages are incorrect, pro-

ceed to chapter 3 (“Doesn´t start”-fault).

Measure the voltage on pin 4 and 6 on N303 (Fig 2.1). The voltage on pin 4 (the

control voltage) should always vary between 0.8-2.8 V (usually it starts at 1.7 V).

The voltage on pin (the feed voltage) is also variable, but usually it starts at 3.3 V. If

the feed voltage is incorrect (often is it missing completly), check the solderings on

D600:8, D600:102 and also on D105 and D103 (all at Fig 2.2). If the control voltage

is incorrect (mainly 0 or 3.6 V), check the solderings on D600:8 and D600:106-108.

If those are ﬁne, replace N301 (class B, Fig 2.1).

Check the solderings on Z250, Z500, Z201 (GSM 900) and Z202 (GSM1900) (all at

Fig 2.2) plus Z205 (Fig 2.3).

If the fault still remains, send the phone to the next repair level.

2.2 Connect a call.

To test GSM900,connect a call at power level 5 against the instrument with the input

signal at -68.5 dBm. To test GSM1900 use power level 0 and an input signal at -68.5

dBm.

If it works, proceed to section 2.3. If it doesn´t work, then it probably is a TX related

fault. If it is only at channel 1 (or several of the lower channels) you can´t connect a

call, is it N570 (class D, Fig 2.2) that is faulty and the phone can´t be repaired at this

level. Open the phone and check for liquid damages. Make sure the antenna connec-

tion X101 (class A, Fig 2.1) isn´t mecanically damaged, unsoldered or dirty (var-

nish, glue, oxide...).

Measure the resstance between test point P401 (Fig 2.3) and ground (or between

N401:14 (Fig 2.2) and ground). The resistance should be larger than 5 kOhm. If it is

900) and Z202 (GSM1900)(all at Fig 2.2) plus Z205 (Fig 2.3). If the fault still

remains, send the phone to the next repair level.

If the Rx level value is above 45 steps at input signal -68,5 dBm you need to cali-

brate the phone, therefore send the phone to the next repair level.

If the RX quality value is too high, send the phone to the next repair level.

If the output power is too low, check the solderings on N560 (GSM1900) and N570

(GSM900) (both Fig 2.2). Check the solderings on Z205, Z203 (GSM900) and

Z204 (GSM1900)(all three Fig 2.3). If the fault still remains, send the phone to the

next repair level.

3 Doesn´t start.

3.1 Find out if the phone will start by using the

On/Off-button.

Attach a fully charged battery and press the On/Off-button. If the phone doesn´t

start, proceed to section 3.2. If the phone starts as normal when it is complete, but

shuts down in the trouble-shooting ﬁxture, measure the current consumption. If it is

>1.5 A or as high as the current limit on the power supply, then N401 (class D, ﬁg

3.1) is faulty and the phone can´t be repaired at this repair level. (Measure the resist-

ance between N401:14 and ground, it should be >10 kOhm, but if N401 is faulty it

usually is about 200 Ohm).

If the phone starts, check the charging function by connecting a charger at the sys-

tem connector.If the charging doesn´t work, proceed to chapter 6 (“Charging”-

fault). Open the phone and make a visual check of the board. The side with the com-

ponents are shown in ﬁg 3.1. Check the board for liquid damages and burned or dan-

ages pads at the system connector. Measure the resistance of R421 (0,1 Ohm, class

B, ﬁg 3.1). After every repair of the charging function, you have to verify the

function using the method mentioned in section 6.1.1. Check the solderings on

D600 and D610 (Fig 3.1). As soon as the fault has been corrected, send the phone

back into the normal repair ﬂow. If the phone starts and the values above are correct,

it is either without faults or there is an intermittent fault.
