Problem:
Service is aware of an issue identified during the 1st 200 NPI Analysis on V300. Some units, returned with a
customer complaint of “Can’t Switch Phone On”, “No Display Backlights”, or “Will not Charge Battery, were
found to draw excessive current (1.25mA) when plugged into an external power supply. Analysis revealed a
short, internal to the Flip Assembly, on the B+ Line to be the cause. The short occurs as a result of the CLI
Chassis (0788807N01) design not allowing the proper amount of clearance for C56, a filter cap on the B+
Line. After assembly, torque on the Flip Assembly causes the CLI Snubber to be pierced by C56, which
allows the capacitor to short to the CLI Chassis (0788807N01). This results in the radio drawing 1.25 amps,
as well as shorting out the backlights for both the Main and CLI Displays. See Figure 1.0 below.
