Nokia Customer CareBaseband Description and Troubleshooting
Introduction
The 6235/6235i/6236i baseband module is a tri-mode, Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA), dual-band engine and is based on the DCT4.5 standard. The baseband engine
includes two major Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs):
•D2200 or UEMEK 2VO — Universal Energy Management Enhanced Integrated
Circuit (UEME IC), which includes the audio circuits, charge control, and voltage
regulators
•D2800 or TIKUEDGE v1.1 — Main mobile terminal processor, which includes
system logic for CDMA, two Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), the Main Control
Unit (MCU), and the memory
The BL-6C Li-ion battery is used as the main power source and has a nominal capacity of
1070 mA/h.

Power Up Sequence
When phone is dead or jammed always check the Power Up Sequence of the baseband
area. Verify all regulator and reset signals are correct to ensure proper power up of
UEMEK and D2800 (see Figure 2).

Flashing Phoenix Interface
Run EZ Flash in Phoenix to flash the phone.
Audio
How the Audio Works
The baseband supports three microphone inputs and two earpiece outputs. The
microphone inputs are MIC1, MIC2, and MIC3:
•MIC1 input is used for the phone's internal microphone,
•MIC2 input is used for headsets (HDB-4),
•MIC3 input is used for the Universal Headset.
Every microphone input can have either a differential or single ended ac connection to
UEMEK circuit. In the Nokia 6235/6235i/6236i, the internal microphone MIC1 and
external microphone MIC2 for Pop-Part™ accessory detection are both differential.
However, the Universal Headset interface is single ended. The microphone signals from
different sources are connected to separate inputs at UEMEK. Inputs for the microphone

Baseband Description and Troubleshooting
Audio Phoenix Interface
Run Audio Test in Phoenix to check the audio functionality.
MiC1- Use first option to route the audio from the
internal microphone to the headset speaker.
MiC2- Use second option to route the audio signal
from the headset microphone to internal ear piece.
MiC3 - To test MIC3 you need to use the first and
second options. Open channel and insert the
universal headset. The UEM automatically re-routes
the audio signal to the UHJ.
Ear Piece - Use second option to hear something
from internal ear piece.
IHF - Use the fifth option to route audio signal to IHF
speaker out.
Camera
How the Camera Works
When you select the view finder to take a picture, the D2800 activates the camera by
turning on GENIO(27) and GENIO(24)9.6MHz. Once the camera is initialized, D2800
sends control commands through the I2C (GENIO (25&26) interface. The camera takes a
Nokia Customer CareBaseband Description and Troubleshooting
picture and sends data back to D2800 for processing through CCP lines. After D2800
finishes with all image processing, the image is stored in the flash memory.

Camera Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting the camera, make these common checks (see Figure 13):
•Check Power Supply V2.8 and VDIG
•Check Sleepx is high
•Camera Enable GenIO(27) is high
•Check Camera Clk on GenIO(24)
•Check Control line I2C on GenIO 25& 26
•Check raw data lines going back to D2800
•Inspect camera socket and replace Camera
•Check D2800 for Solder problems and replace, if necessary

FM Radio
How the FM Radio Works
D2800 turns on the FM radio and sets the frequency using CBUS serial interface as the
communication channel. A high frequency FM radio signal come in through RFIN1 Pin to
the FM radio chip, then it gets demodulated into a low frequency signal and send to
UEMEK for amplification. The amplify signal then get routed back to either universal
headset or to the system connector for stereo headset.
Figure 12: FM Radio (N356), Audio (N150), antenna, and digital interface connections
FM Radio Test
To hear the FM radio, you first connect headset to Pop-Part™ or UHJ ports because the
headset will be an FM radio antenna. And you have to connect headset to UHJ port to
control the FM radio by using Phoenix. But if you connect a headset (such as HDS-3) to
Pop-Part™ connector, then you can’t control the phone because you’ve already occupied
the connection port (Pop-Part™), so in this case you have to have jumper wires on
production test points (Fbus Tx/RX,GND).
FM Radio Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting the FM radio, make these common checks (see Figure 13):
•Check Power Supply VIO and VANA
•Check SleepCLK
•Check FMANT
•Check for activity on CBUS
•Check output of FM radio on VAFR and VAFL
•If 6 is not correct, then Check FM radio chip for shorts, voids, and misalignments
