Baseband Troubleshooting 
■ Baseband test points   
This document contains the Nokia 2600 troubleshooting diagrams. 
Test points are described and listed in the A3 schematic diagrams.
■ Tr oubleshooting diagrams  
In this section, Troubleshooting diagrams is prov ided for the most common problems of the Nokia 2600
NOTE : Since both D200 (UEM) and D400(UPP) are underfilled, they can not be replaced. If 
either D200 or D400 is defective, the whole PWB has be discarded.

This means that the phone do not draw any current at all when supply is connected and/or

■ Flash programming do not work  
The flash programming can only be done via the pads on the PWB (J396). 
In case of Flash failure in FLALI station, problem is most likely related to SMD problems. Pos-
sible failures could be short-circuit of balls under µBGAs (UEM, UPP, FLASH). Missing or misaligned components. 
In flash programming error cases the flash prommer can give some information about a fault. 
The fault information messages could be:
- Phone doesn't set FBUS_TX line low 
Because of the use of uBGA components it is not possible to verify if there is a short circu it in 
control- and address lines of MCU (UPP) and memory (flash).

■ Power does not stay on or phone is jammed  
If this kind of failure is presenting itself immediately after FLALI, it is most likely caused by 
ASICs missing contact with PWB.
If for some reason the MCU does not service the watchdog register within the UEM, the operations watchdog will run out after approximately 32 seconds. Unfortunately , the service routine 
can not be measured.

■ The phone do not register to the network, or the phone cannot make a call  
If the phone doesn't register to the network, the fault can be in either BB or RF . Only few signals 
can be tested since several signals is 'burried' in one or more of the inner layers of the PWB.
First of all check that SIM LOCK is not causing the error by using a Test-SIM card and connect 
the phone to a tester.

■ SIM related faults  
Insert SIM card fault 
The hardware of the SIM interface from UEM (D200) to the SIM connector (X387) can be tested 
without a SIM card. When the power is switched on the phone first check for a 1,8V SIM card 
and then a 3V SIM card. The phone will try this four times, whereaf ter it will display ”Insert SIM 
card”.

General RF Troubleshooting 
Two types of measurements are used in the following. It will be specified if the measurement 
type is "RF" or "LF".
•  • RF measurements are done with a Spectrum Analyser and a high-frequency 500 
ohm passive probe, for example HP54006A. (Note that when measuring with the 
500 ohm probe the signal will be around 20 dB attenuated. The values in the following will have these 20 dB subtracted and represent the real value seen on the spectrum analyser).
Note that the testjig have some losses which must be taken into consideration wh en calibrating 
the test system.
•  • LF (Low frequency) and DC measurements should be done with a 10:1 probe 
and an oscilloscope. The probe used in the following is 10MW/8pF passive probe.  
If using another probe then bear in mind that the voltages displayed may be sligh tly 
different.
Always make sure the measurement set-up is calibrated when measuring RF parameters on 
the antenna pad. Remember to include the loss in the module repair jig when realigning the 
phone.
Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive. 
plied during repair (ground straps and ESD soldering irons). Mjoelner and Bifrost is moisture 
sensitive so parts must be pre-baked prior to soldering.
Apart from key-components described in this document there are a lot of discrete components 
(resistors, inductors and capacitors) for which troubleshooting is done by checking if soldering 
of the component is done properly and checking if the component is missing from PWB. Capacitors can be checked for short-circuiting and resistors for value by means of an ohmmeter, 
but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated carefully.
In the following both the name EGSM and GSM850 will be used for the lower band and both 
PCN and GSM1900 will be used for the upper band.
 So ESD protection must be ap-

■ Synthesizer  
There is only one PLL synthesizer generating Local Oscillator frequencies for both RX and TX 
in both bands ( PCN and EGSM). The VCO frequency is divided by 2 for PCN operation or by 
4 for EGSM operation inside the Mjoelner IC. 
26 MHz reference oscillator ( VCXO ) 
The 26 MHz oscillator is located in the Mjoelner IC (N600). The coarse frequency for this oscillator is set by an external crystal (B600). The reference oscillator is used as a reference frequency for the PLL synthesizer and as the system clock for BaseBand. The 26MHz signal is 
divided by 2 to achieve 13MHz inside the UPP IC (D400). 
The 26 MHz signal from the VCXO can be measured by probing R425 (must be measured on 
the UPP side of R425 i.e. the end not  
700mVpp. Frequency of this oscillator is adjusted by changing the AFC-register inside the 
Mjoelner IC. This is done via the Mjoelner serial interface. 
Example Signal Measured at VCXO output (R425)
Figure 45: VCXO 26 MHz waveform
 connected to C425). The level at this point is approx.  
VCO
The VCO is an ASIC with all the frequency determining parts inside. 
In order to reduce the requirements of the tuning voltage and coverage of the VCO, the VCO 
core is composed of four VCOs in parallel. This VCO circuit enables a very wide tun-ing range 
of 3.4 - 4.0 GHz .

Phone fails after power on 
If the phone stops working a short time after the power is turned ON, a possible reason for this 
could be that the 26MHz system clock signal is not getting to the UPP clock-input in BaseBand. 
In this case check the following:
1Turn on the phone and check 
2VCXO Power supply (C620) = 2.7V 
3VCXO output (R425 – end not  
If this is not the case check the reference crystal (B600) and Mjolner (N600) as well as R425, 
R426, C425, C426.
