Problem
Service is aware of an issue, identified in the 1st 200 NPI Analysis of all CDMA 1X
models, with the Semtech 5187970L19, Charger IC. A large percentage of the customer
returns with complaints of “Does Not Charge” were confirmed and analysis revealed a
faulty Charger IC. The charger IC under normal conditions with external B+ applied to
the CE connector will pass external B+ voltage through the IC to the B+ voltage
circuitry. The faulty charger IC, due to high leakage current, will only pass
approximately 2 volts or less to the B+ voltage circuitry resulting in a no charge
condition.
Solution
Short Term CA:
IC vendor has implemented new testing requirements after week 40 of 2003.
Long-Term CA:
The charger IC has been designed out of future products that incorporate the PM6000
power management IC.
Service Action
Customer Returns:
When servicing affected CDMA customer returns, with a customer complaint of “Will Not
Charge” verify the charger IC operation by the following means:
1. With the phone powered off, Apply External Power to the CE connector:
a. Measure the DC voltage going into the charger IC on pins 13 and 14. This
voltage should be equal to the applied external voltage applied to the CE
connector.
b. Measure the DC voltage coming out of the charger IC on pins 15 and 16.
A functional charger IC voltage should be approximately equal to the input
voltage measured on pins 13 and 14.
c. A faulty charger IC will measure 2 VDC or less on pins 15 and 16.

d. If the charger IC is found to be functional, then follow normal
troubleshooting techniques for the customer complaint.
e. Faulty charger IC’s should be replaced with IC’s with a date code 0341 or
newer. See Photo for date code identification.
Service Inventory:
Return all parts with date code prior to 0341 to the vendor per purge notice issued
3/25/2004.
Call Center Action
Advise that valid “Does Not Charge” complaints be returned to the local service center
for analysis.
