General
-How to use this document
Place the schematics behind this manual.
Now you are able to follow these specifictions with graphical layouts and it is easier for you to find the components and
measuring points.
-General handling
Be very careful when disassembling the NPE-4 while removing the A-Cover from the Back-Cover. Refer to disassembling
instructions at the service manual of NPE-4.
-µBGA components and broken balls
Special attention to µBGA components:
All replaceable µBGAs must be renewed after removing. Reflow using a hot air fan is not allowed.
Check soldering points and remove oxidated solderings (broken balls) carefully by enclosing a few new solders before placing new
components. The only allowed way changing µBGA components is to use µBGA rework maschines, approved from NMP (e.g.
ZEVAC/ OK International). Use recommended Fluxtype and an appropriate amount of it only.
-PCB handling & cleaning
To avoid damages of PCB and/or components through electrostatic discharging, handle the module in
ESD-suitable cases only. Always wear ESD-bracelets, which must be connected to earth bonding point.
Do not make any loose wiring connections or do some other unqualified rework anywhere.
For cleaning use appropriate materials only. Do not use scratching or rubbing tools.
Because of organic surface protection (OSP), cleaning must only be done with a lint-free cloth, which may be moistening with DIwater. IPA or other solvent like ethanol should only be used to clean gold pads for spring contacts without affecting the
surrounding copper layers.
-Component charactaristics
Some components contain important data.
Several described steps are practicable only if you are able to reflash/ realign the phone and/ or rewrite IMEI/ SIMlock in certain
cases. Please pay attention to separate notes.
-Realign after repair
Characteristics of replacement parts are different.
To prevent additional faults after repair (RX quality, TX power etc.) it is necessary to retune phone values.

Additional Information
BB shield disassembly instructions
For disassembly it is important to lay the PWB on a plane underground so that the bottom connector is hanging free to prevent
bending of PWB and cracking of the connector´s solderings (See pictures below).
Wrong
Correct
When disassembling the BB shield be very careful because Flash D450 could be damaged.
Start by lifting and bending the lid with a tweezer at the marked points 1- 3 (see pictures below).
Do not use too much force on the frame because it could be damaged and the PWB also could be mechanical stressed.

If it is nessesary to exchange the battery connector X101/ X102 take care that you use the same one.
The mixed replacement causes switch-off trouble

Drop calls
Disassemble the NPE-4 and the RF- shield, then connect the PWB to the MJS-40 jig.
Insert a SIMcard and connect the coaxial cable to the tester (e.g. CMD/Wavetec). Now start a call.
If the call is established, check the analyzer display from tester (e.g. CMD/Wavetec) if a frequency error appears.
If fault does not appear or appears intermittently only, press on 26MHz oscillator G740 with non-metallic item.
If the frequency error appears or increases in this case, probably the 26MHz circuit is faulty.
Open the Phoenix menu Testing/ RF controls and activate local mode RX GSM900
Check 26MHz +/- 100Hz between C752 and R752 with spectrum analyzer and active frequency counter (See picture below)
If the frequency drift is higher than +/ - 100Hz, check VR3 (VCC) = 2.8 VDC at R740.- If not ok, check UEM D200.
Check AFC (around 1.3 VDC) at G740. Check also if VR3 (VCC = 2.8 VDC) is ok with an Oscilloscope.- If not ok,
check UEM D200
If both voltages are ok but the frequency drift is higher than +/ - 100Hz and the fault is getting stronger when pressing the top of
the 26MHz oscillator G740, change the faulty component.
No service
Set phone to local mode with Phoenix
Open menu Maintenance/Tuning/RX Calibration
Check RX calibration in GSM/PCN. If not ok, refer to chapter No Service/No RX
If RX calibration is ok, open menu Maintenance/Tuning/TX power
Check TX power in GSM/PCN. If not ok, refer to chapter No Service/No TX
If TX power is ok, insert Test-SIM and set phone to normal mode.
Start a Test call If not ok, make a SW update and try connecting again.
If the fault persists after SW update, rewrite IMEI and SIMLock settings.
Note! Rewrite SIMlock and IMEI data by use of NOKIA SECURITY PASSWORD and make a SW-update again, if the
procedure is permitted to you. (See General SB–037)
If the connection is established, check with tester (e.g. CMD/Wavetec) if any errors appears on display (e.g. frequency error).
If a frequency error appears, refer to chapter Drop calls.

If the signal is not ok, in PCN check RX signal 1842.4 MHz at channel 700, RF level –55 dBm at L616
If both RX signals not ok, check RX lines from N600 Hagar to X802 antenna connector for shorts or
disconnections.
If the RX signals are ok, check System Clk = 26 MHz at C752 (See picture at chapter “Electrical faults”/ Totally dead)
If also the System Clk is ok, check following voltages:
Check VR3 = 2.8 VDC at C602.
Check VR4 = 2.8 VDC at C601
Check VR5 = 2.8 VDC at C604
Check VR6 (VBB) = 2.8 VDC at C605

No service → no TX
Check EGSM TX signal at R656 / R657 (See picture below)
Set spectrum analyzer to TX EGSM 897.4 MHz, channel 37.
Set phone to TX mode, EGSM 897.4 MHz, channel 37 and power level 10.
If there is no signal measurable, check PCN TX signal at L662 (See picture below)
Set spectrum analyzer to TX PCN 1747.8 MHz, channel 700.
Set phone to TX mode, PCN 1747.8 MHz, channel 700 and power level 10.
If both TX signals ok, check EGSM/ PCN TX lines between Hagar N600 and antenna connector X802 for shorts or disconnections
If there is no TX signal at L662 measurable, check TX I/Q at C764 and C766 on both sides of capacitors.

Display too dark/ bright
When turning on the phone, the display LED´s V300 – V303
(See picture below) shines in different brightness.
This is caused by use of different LEDs. In this case change all LEDs and
assemble the right one with spare part code 4864293.
Note! When changing the LEDs, the RF frame has to be removed at first.
Be very careful when lifting the frame. A little drift byside and some
small components might be pushed away.
Tuning problems with Phoenix SW 3.55
Battery calibration – “Low battery” when making a call
After tuning the phone under menu “maintenance/tuning /energy management” it is important to reset the phone. Disconnect
and connect the power supply before making a call. Otherwise “battery low” and “charging” will appear on display.
With Phoenix SW 3.60 the problem is solved.
Note! If the NPE-4 is connected to FPS-8 Flashbox via FBUS-cable, the reset does not work. When closing the enegy management
calibration window, Phoenix tries to reset the phone. The NPE-4 goes in off state and does not start automatically again. In this
case the phone has to be switched on manually.
RX Channel Select Filter calibration all measurements = “0”
If all values are “0” after tuning the “RX Channel Select Filter calibration” under menu “Tuning/ RX Channel Select Filter calibration”, following problem has happened.
This fault is a result of old phone-SW version 4.15. Update the phone to SW version 4.20 and the problem will be solved.
TX tuning problem
When starting TX tuning without connected coaxial cable to X802 antenna connector and going to power level 8 or higher, the
phone goes in reset state.
Everytime when tuning the phone at first connect the coaxial cable and then start the tuning procedure.
SW faults
Totally dead
Phone jammed
No memory access/ hangs up
No service
If one of the above mentioned faults happens, first try to flash the phone with SW version 4.20 or newer.
If the fault persists refer to chapter Electrical faults/ totally dead

Hookswitch problems
( Also see SB 024)
Sometimes not possible to release “incoming call”
No voice dial possible
When the headset HDC-9P is connected to the botton connector of NPE-4 and a call is coming in, often it is not possible to
release the call by pressing the hookswitch.
Often it is not possible to initiate the voice call by pressing the hookswitch.
If one of the above mentioned problems occures, the change of R175 can solve the problem.
Open the BB-shield and measure the resistor R175=100kΩ.
If R175=100kΩ, change the resistor to 15kΩ. (See pictue below).
