This section is a summary of experiences the NPE-4 R&D team made during the development. It covers some errors or wrong configurations and their symptoms as well as
advice for problem solving. The section is seperated into two main parts the Baseband
troubleshooting and the RF troubleshooting, however, it is advisable to read both parts.
Baseband Troubleshooting
Phone is dead
This means that the phone does not use any current at all when supply is connected and/
or powerkey is pressed.
It is assumed that the voltage supplied is 3.6 VDC. The UEM will prevent any functionality what so ever at battery/supply levels below 2.9 VDC.

Flash programming doesn’t work
The flash programming can be done via the pads on the PWB or via system connector
X100.
In production, the first programming is done via the pads on the PWB.
The main differences between these are:
a) Flash programming voltage is produced different way.
b)Signal routings are different.
In case of Flash failure in FLALI station, problem is most likely related to SMD problems.
Possible failures could be Short circuiting 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
The preliminary fault-finding diagrams for flash programming are shown in the next
page.
Because of the use of uBGA components it is not possible to verify if there is a short circuit in control- and address lines of MCU (UPP) and memory (flash).

Power doesn’t 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.

Display Information: “Contact Service”
When this error appears in the display, it means that one or more of the internally Baseband tests has failed. The Baseband tests (selftests) are performed each time the phone is
powered on. The selftests are devided into those performed while powering up (Start up
tests), and the ones that can be executed with a PC using Phoenix (Runtime tests). The
following Start-up tests are performed during power up:
UPP Register verfication test.
UEM CBUS Interface test.
SleepX loop test.
Aux. Data loop test.
Ear Data loop test.
Tx IDP loop test.
Tx IQ DP loop test.
SIM Clock loop test.
If all these selftests are passed, the phone will start-up.
From Phoenix it is possible to run all the selftest and the additional "Runtime test". The
test cases can be seen below.

The phone doesn’t register to the network or phone doesn’t make a call
If the phone doesn't register to the network, the fault can be in either BB or RF. Due to
the highly module design of the BB area, very few signals can be measured.

SIM Failure
The hardware of the SIM interface from UEM (D200) to the SIM connector (X386) 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, whereafter it
will display "Insert SIM card".

RF Troubleshooting
Introduction
Measurements should be done using Spectrum Analyzer with high-frequency highimpedance passive probe (LO-/reference frequencies and RF-power levels) and Oscilloscope with a 10:1 probe (DC-voltages and low frequency signals).
The RF-section is build around one ASICS Hagar (N600). For easier troubleshooting, this
RF troubleshooting document is divided into sections.
Before changing Hagar, please check the following things: Supply voltages are OK and
serial communication are coming to Hagar (See Baseband troubleshooting document).
Please note that the grounding of the PA-module is directly below PA-module so it is
difficult to check or change. Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive!
So ESD protection must be taken during repair (ground straps and ESD soldering irons).
The Hagar IC is moisture sensitive so parts must be pre-baked prior to soldering.
Apart from key-components described in this document here are a lot of discrete components (resistors, inductors and capacitors) which troubleshooting is done by checking if
soldering of the component is done properly, for factory repairs (checking if it is missing
from PCB). Capacitors can be checked for shortening and resistors for value by means of
an ohmmeter, but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated carefully.
Please be aware that all measured voltages or RF levels in this document are rough figures. Especially RF levels varies due to different measuring equipment or different
grounding of the used probe.
All tuning must be done with Phoenix Service Software, version 02.90.001, or later.
