How to use this document
Put the QUICK REPAIR & COMPONENT FINDER layouts behind this manual.
Now you are able to follow these specifications with graphical layouts and it is easier for you to find the
components and measuring points.
Component characteristics:
Some components contain important data.
Several described steps are only practicable if you are able to reflash/realign the phone and/or rewrite
IMEI/SIMlock data in certain cases. Please pay attention to separate notes.
Underfills, broken balls, µBGA
It is not possible to change underfilled components. The trial will damage the PCB surely.
All replaceable µBGA-components must be renewed after removing.
Check soldering points, remove oxidated solderings (broken balls) very careful.
µBGA´s must be soldered only with NMP approved µBGA-rework machines (e.g. Zevac/OK International).
Soldering CSP´s with Hot Air Fan is strictly forbidden!
– refer to General Service Bulletin 106.
Use only recommended fluxtype and always an appropriate amount of it.
PCB handling
Use appropriate cleaning materials only, do not use scratching or rubbing tools. Clean PCB carefully after
every rework and take great pains over the keyboard area. Do not make any loose wiring connections
anywhere.
If it is necessary to change any item located under the metal shields, first remove the shield, do not cut
partially or bend it.
Realign after repair
Characteristics of replacement parts are different.
To prevent additional faults after repair (e.g. low standby time, loosing network etc.) it is necessary
to retune phone values after repair.

PHONE DOES NOT SWITCH ON
Check if track (R132 to L102), located at C110, is printed as upper layer and if this line is 0 Ohm. Also place an isolation label on
this track (see pictures) to protect it for short cuts to D-Cover. This is necessary in IMEI number range below 448896/20/485419/5
and 448896/10/205064/9 (Service Bulletin 011).
L102 SOLDERING PROBLEMS
Check soldering of L102 – In some cases the soldering of the coil can be broken on both sides – change if necessary.
Note the different (approved) versions of L102.
The first (oldest version with soldering problem)
The new versions for better reliability below.
KEYPAD PROBLEMS
High key press force (eg. Navikey,2,5,8,0)
These problems occure due to process change at PCB vendor.
IMEI range: First 448903/10/729000/0
Last 449142/10/432508/8
The PCB´s can be identified by a double arrow symbol on the keypad of the PCB. In this case a new modified keydome sheet is

First of all check the mechanical condition of all connectors and clean connector-pads (X503) on PCB and/or change bent or
damaged connectors if necessary –also see pictures on page # 14.
If any connector is poor soldered – additional faults will be the result!
F100 faulty
Check resistance of fuse F100 (0Ω).
Check resistance of V_CHARGE_IN line to GND – should be around 10KΩ.
If the line is in lower-Ohm range, check the PCB for possible liquid or mechanical damages.
R103 faulty or broken
If the phone does not charge when ACP-9 fast charger is connected:
Check mechanical condition of R103 (some versions of this resistor can be broken through mechanical stress)
If the component is broken or is completely missing – change R103 and additional PSCC N101.
(PSCC defect by using charger with broken or missing R103)
If a broken resistor is the reason for this fault, check also C-Cover and cut away the arrow in time dial (by using e.g. scalpel)
or replace it if necessary – see HW changes page# 8 for additional information.
R125 to R127 connection faulty
Check with WinTesla/local mode/Testing/ADC readings if any AD value is out of limits – especially BTEMP (317 ≅≅≅≅ 25°).
Check connection between R125 (near CCONT) and R127 (near X101) = 0Ω and check the resistance of R127 = 47kΩ.

If other SIMcard problems appear, check the following signals at SIMcard reader pins:
SIMclock (pin x), SIMdata (pin 4) – but note:
These signals are only present when SIMcard is active (e.g. when phone registers to the network).
SIMreset (SIMRST_0) is low active, which means that SIMcard will be reseted when SIMreset is 0V.
This is the case after switching on the phone (see next diagram).
While VSIM is already high, SIMreset keeps low for a few milliseconds – in this time SIMcard will be reset.

Use WinTesla to set the phone in the following mode: Local mode/Testing/RF Controls/Active unit “RX”/continuous mode
G701 – VCTCXO faulty
Check 13MHz reference frequency at SUMMA N700, pin 15 – frequency error ±50Hz / 900mVpp
(see also chapter “Phone does not switch on – G701 faulty”)
If all voltages ok and no frequency deviation is realized, but intermittent call interrupts occuring over and over again - it is also
possible that G701 has a not detectable internal failure – so change G701 if the phone has those intermittent call problems.

Check LNA_OUT 2.3VDC at N600, pin 23 and output of Z600 (attenuation in/out ~15dBm) at N600, pin 18, 19
(In some cases it could be possible that Z600 shorts LNA_OUT)
Check UHF LO frequency (GSM/CH60 = 2036MHz) at N600, pin 4 (app. –20dBm) –
Check 71MHz intermediate frequency output at N600, pin 15, 16.
Check soldering of N600 and/or change CRFU if necessary.
pin 33, 38, 45, 46: 2.8VDC

Check connection from N702, pin 4 to R741
Check VCP 5VDC supply voltage at N700, pin 13, 22
If VCP lower than 4.8VDC check components in VCP line back to CCONT and/or change N100 if necessary
Check UHF VC at N700, pin 21: 1.9V – 3.2VDC depending on the used channel
Check VC with oscilloscope for noise – check especially soldering of R733
Check C136 (e.g. for capacity loss) if UHF frequency is not adjustable only in higher channel range
Change G700 if necessary
N700 faulty
Check 13MHz reference frequency at N700, pin 15: 900mVpp (frequency deviation ±50Hz)
Check VRX_2 at N700, pin 35: 2.8VDC
Check incoming 71MHz IF at N700, pin 37, 38 and outgoing 13MHz IF (measurable level approximately -20dBm) at N700, pin 30
If 13MHz IF does not exist or a frequency error appears – check VHF_LO at N700, pin 8
Check VCC of G700 and G702 (check connection between both oscillator VCC´s to N702, pin 4) and R745
Check VP1/VP2 at N700, pin 9, 19: 2.8VDC
Check VCP 5VDC at N700, pin 13, 22
Check PLL control signals at N700, pin 5 (SCLK), pin 6 (SDAT), pin 7 (SENA) – see following diagrams
Check VC of G700 at N700, pin 21 (PD2) depending on the used channel and VC of G702 at N700, pin 12 (PD1): 2.2VDC
Check soldering of N700 or change SUMMA if necessary

N200 COBBA faulty
Check 13MHz IF at N700, pin 23, 24 – if the generator level (-80dBm….-105dBm) is changing - amplitude of IF must also change
Check RXC signal at N700, pin 36 – if the generator level is changed – the amplitude of signal must also change
Check R725 if these signals are not measurable or too low in amplitude –
Check VBB 2.8VDC at C117 (near CCONT)
Check VCOBBA 2.8VDC at C248 (near COBBA)
Check COBBACLK at J201: 3.6Vpp –
see diagram below
If all signals and voltages are ok – set the phone in call mode with CMU/CMD
Check the RX/TX values while knocking (with a nonmetallic item) around COBBA
If any error appears – probably broken solderings under COBBA - change N200 if possible (if not underfilled)
If the errors persist after rework of COBBA – MAD or PCB might be the reason
NOTE: If COBBA or MAD is underfilled – swap the phone, because these components are not changeable!
If COBBA was changed - SIMlock and IMEI entries must be rewritten with NOKIA Security Password, if this
procedure is permitted to you!

Z500 faulty – (low TX power / GSM900)
Check TX power level difference at Z500 between TX pad & Antenna pad
Check soldering of Z500
Z504 faulty (low TX power / GSM1800)
Check switching voltage at Z504 (C507): 1VDC
Check TX power difference at Z504 between TX pad & Antenna pad
If the difference > 2dBm – change Z504
N500 / N501 faulty (low TX power GSM900 / GSM1800)
All hints are always for both bands (GSM/PCN) – so take only the band depending on your faulty one
Check VDC_OUT 3.2V …. 4.2V (depending on power level) at N500 / N501
Check input / output power difference at N500 / N501
Check CTL_GSM signal at N500 (1.2Vpp …. 1.9Vpp – depending on the used power level) at N700, pin 31
Check CTL_PCN signal at N501(1.0Vpp …. 1.6Vpp – depending on the used power level) at N700, pin 28
(see diagram below)

TX phase faulty
Check TX spectrum with analyzer – refer to page# 46
If the following spectrum appears – check components in TX I/Q lines for shorts:
In some cases (especially after rework in COBBA area) R708, R710, C708, C709 (near COBBA N200) could be misplaced.
If the components are ok – change COBBA N200 if not underfilled.
NOTE:
If COBBA was changed - SIMlock and IMEI entries must be rewritten with NOKIA Security Password, if this procedure is
permitted to you!
TX phase faulty in high channel range in GSM1800
Check TX spectrum with analyzer – refer to page# 46
Check mechanical appearance of Z504
If measurements are ok – change Z504 – in some cases the bottom side of this component could be teared off because of
mechanical stress, which only could be seen if the component is removed.
