Measurements should be done using a spectrum analyzer with a high-frequency highimpedance passive probe (LO-/reference frequencies and RF power levels) and an oscilloscope with a 10:1 probe (DC-voltages and low frequency signals)
The RF-section is build around one RF-ASIC (HELGO N500).
Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive! So ESD protection must be
taken care of during repair (ground straps and ESD soldering irons).
Apart from key components described in this document there are a lot of discrete components (resistors, inductors and capacitors). Their troubleshooting is done by checking
that the soldering of the component is done properly (for factory repairs checking if it is
missing from the PWB). Capacitor 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 note that all measured voltages or RF levels in this document are rough figures.
Especially RF levels vary due to different measuring equipment and different grounding
of the probe used. When using the RF probe, use metallic tweezers to connect the probe
ground to the PWB ground as close to measurement point as possible.
1Connect test jig to computer with DAU-9S cable or to FPS-8 flash prommer with
XCS-4 modular cable.
Make sure that you have PKD-1 dongle connected to computers parallel port.
2Connect DC power supply to module test jig with FLC-2 cable.
Note: When repairing or tuning transmitter use external DC supply with at
least 3A current capability. Set the DC supply voltage to 4.2V.
3Connect an RF cable to the module test jig (MJ-5), RF connector to measurement
equipment or at least 10dB attenuator, otherwise the PA may be damaged. Normally a spectrum analyzer is used as measurement equipment.
Note: Normally spectrum analyzer maximum input power is +30dBm. It is recommended to use 10dB attenuator in spectrum analyzer input to prevent damage.
4Set the phone module to test jig and start Phoenix service software.
5To initialize connection to the phone (when using FPS-8 together with DAU-9S
and COMBOX driver, use FBUS driver):
•From the File menu, choose Product.
•Select RH-26.
•From the toolbar, set operating mode to "Local".
6To activate the RF controls window:
From the Testing menu, choose RF Controls
7In the RF controls window:
•Select band "GSM850", "GSM 1800" or “GSM1900 (Default = "GSM850").
•Set Active unit to "Tx" (Default = "Rx").
•Set Operation mode to "Burst" (Default = "Burst").
•Set Tx data type to "Random" (Default = "All1").
•Set Rx/Tx channel to 37 on GSM850 band or 700 on GSM1800 band or 661 on
GSM1900 (Defaults).
These instructions show how to repair the baseband section of RH-26 transceiver. Since
RH-26 transceiver shielding is made by using fixed shielding cans, there are some limitations for servicing work (see relevant service bulletins for more information). This is due
to fact that when soldering new cans, component joints located under the shielding cans
may be damaged. Also as a result, traditional troubleshooting flow chart is not very practical in the case of RH-26. Instead, fault cases are handled by fault symptoms.
NOTE:
•Inside the flip unit there are no serviceable parts either, the whole unit should be
replaced in fault situation.
•Appropriate service tools and Phoenix service software are needed for troubleshooting.
•Camera module is very sensitive to heat and must be always removed when
doing solderings to main board.
The whole SIM interface locates in two chips: UPP and UEM. The SIM card is connected
to UEM through EMI/ESD filter R388. The SIM card detection signal is taken from the BSI
line. If the “Insert SIM card” text or other SIM related message appears on the display,
check the following:
•BSI contact is reliable. Very short break can cause “Insert SIM card” message.Typical DC-level is 1.19V with BL-5C.
•SIM connector contacts and solderings. SIM card holder.
VSIM,SIM CLK,SIM RST and SIM DATA signals are according to the figure below after the
power switched on. If signals are OK only at test points, change R388. Note that SIM
connector contacts are on the opposite side of the connector pads

Display
Display is a 130 * 130 dot LCD display with 4096 colors.The illumination is accomplished
with 3 LEDs integrated into the LCD module as well as the display drivers mounted on
the flex. Serial data transfer begins when UPP drives the CSX pin low and starts by setting bits to SDA. The bits are read by the display on the rising edge of SCLK. RESX
GENIO(4) line is normally 1.8 V.
There are no serviceable components in the LCD module, the whole module must be
changed in fault situation.
If change does not help, check:
1Signals at test points should be like in Figure: LCD Signals.
RH-26 phone includes traditional T9 and qwerty keypads. The keys on the engine board
are connected through EMI/ESD filter Z300 (under UPP shielding can) to the KEYB(10:0)
bus to the UPP. Volume up/down functionality is combined with joystick functionality.
Two of the KEYB(10:0) lines are connected through EMI/ESD filter Z301 to the joystick.
Engine keypad includes half of the qwerty, PWR and “soft” keys. 5-way joystick is used
for navigation. The power on key is connected to the UEMK PWRONX signal and is not
part of the keypad matrix.
The flip keypad includes T9 and second half of the qwerty keys. SEND & END keys are on
the flip module. Keypad matrix is connected to the MCU located on the flip PWB. Key
presses are sent to UPP through flip interface. This interface consist of VBAT, DATA, CLK
and GND lines. GND connection is made through connector shielding and others with 3
flexible micro-coax cables, all included in one plug.
The total amount of LEDs is 19 pcs: 3 inside LCD, 8 assembled to engine and 8 to flip
module. LCD and engine LEDs are powered from DC-DC converter D300 located under
the UPP shielding. LCD and function keys are always illuminated when D300 is switched
on. On/off control line is UIDRV(3) KLight. Engine side qwerty-LEDs have own switch
V350 controlled by UIDRV(2) DLight line. Both controls are driven by UEMK D200.
Flip LEDs are connected straight to VBAT. Both T9 and qwerty lights have own switch and
can be independently switch on and off by flip MCU.
Symptoms
No lights.
•Engine side (half-qwerty, function keys and LCD). D300 circuitry under UPP
shielding is faulty. Repair is not possible.
One or more LED blank.
•Check all LEDs and series resistors R311, R312, R313 and R314. If the engine side
qwerty-LEDs V311-V314 are blank, check switch V350, which is located under the
UEM shielding. Lights are on when DLight line (R305) is 1.8V.
Illumination failure LCD.
•Check LCD connector X300/pins 1,2. If OK, change LCD module.
Charging is controlled by UEMK D200 and software. Two charger connectors are used:
one in the system connector soldered to the PWB and one spring contact to DC-jack in
the B-cover assy.
If charging does not work, check:
•DC-jack X102 spring contacts and system connector X101 solderings.
•BTemp resistor R105. Typical voltage at +25°C is 0.9V.
The audio hardware is mostly integrated into the UEMK D200. External amplifier N150 is
needed to drive the internal handsfree speaker (IHF). Other external components are
functioning as capacitors, series resistors and ESD protection components. The required
bias voltages for internal and external microphones are also taken from the UEMK.
Acoustics components are assembled into the phone mechanics. All contacts are spring
type, so in fault situation check that pads on the PWB are clean and spring force is OK.
Earpiece is fed by the differential signals "EARP" and "EARN" from the UEMK. External
earpiece signals is fed by the "HF" & "HFCM" pins.
MIC1N & MIC1P (audio signals) and MICB1 (bias voltage) are used for the internal
microphone. MIC2N & MIC2P and MICB2 are used for external microphone.
IHF circuitry uses XAUDIO(7) output from the UEMK for normal voice. For ringing and
alert tones, which should be heard simultaneously from the headset and IHF speaker, differential output (HF&HFCM) from the UEMK is used. The shutdown of the IHF amplifier is
controlled by the UPP using GENIO(13).
Furthermore, a couple of signals are needed to control the external audio device. HEADINT signal is needed for recognising an external device (e.g. headset) connected to the
system. The recognition is based on the ACI-in on the system connector that is sorted to
ground inside the external device used. HOOKINT is generated by a button of an external
device.
•Earpiece is integrated into LCD module and the whole module must be changed
in fault situation. If change does not help, check L150 under RF-shield assembly
and R160 under the UEMK shielding.
No voice from microphone or bad quality.
•Microphone is in B-cover assembly and it is a replaceable part. Needed bias for
microphone is 2.1V, which is fed from AUDIO(4) MICB1 line through R165. Series
components are C153 and R157.
No voice from IHF speaker or bad quality.
•Check IHF amplifier N150 output series components L151 and L152. IHF speaker
is integrated into antenna and the whole antenna module must be changed in
fault situation. If change does not help, failure is under the UEMK shielding.
Input lines for the IHF amplifier are XAUDIO(7), XAUDIO(1) HF and XAUDIO(2)
HFCM. XAUDIO(7) series components are C170 and R169. HF and HFCM signals
are fed through C158, C166 and R164. Control line for the IHF amplifier is
GENIO(13), which is 1.8V when the amplifier is on.
External audios does not work.
•Refer to the previous section Pop-PortTM system connector. EXTMIC series components are C154 and R155. The required bias for the external microphone is
2.1V, which is fed from XAUDIO(3) MICB2 line through R156 and R153. XEAR
series component is R162. HOOKINT information goes through R166 to the UEMK
and HEADINT through R102.
Vibra motor M100 is soldered directly to the PWB and it is controlled by a PWM signal
(UEM UIDRV (1) line). The other vibra pad is connected straight to VBat. If the vibra does
not work, the possible fault is located in the vibra motor itself or in the UEM circuitry.
Figure 23: Location of vibra motor
Real time clock battery
Regulator for charging back-up battery G300 is inside the UEM. Charging starts when
the main battery is connected and power is on.
The battery type is cell capacitor and it is soldered directly to the PWB. Typical voltage
for a fully charged battery is 3.2V, but backup circuitry can operate between 2-3.3V. If
RTC does not work, the possible fault is in the RTC battery itself or in the UEM circuitry.
Figure 24: Location of RTC battery
Flip position recognition
The flip position, open or close, is detected by the hall sensor N301. The hall sensor
detects the magnet, which is integrated into the flip mechanics.
Hall sensor output is 2.78V when the flip is closed, 0V when open. Output is connected
to the UEM via SLOWAD(2) KEYB1 line.
If the flip is not recognised, check:
•N301/pin 3 output = 0V.
•N301/pin 1 = 2.78V. If not check R309.
•Bring the magnet close.
•If the pin 3 does not go up, change the Hall sensor N301.
Figure 25: Location of hall sensor
IR
The infrared module N350 is connected to the UPP through IACCDID(0,1) line and
GENIO(24) line. TxD and SD are active when high, while RxD is active when low. All IR
related components are under the UPP shielding except the IR module itself.
Bluetooth
Figure 26: IR Signals
All bluetooth functions are integrated into a single chip, only a few external components
are needed (RF filters, power supply filtering, etc.) Bluetooth components are under the
RF shield assembly. External 2.8V regulator N131 is used as a power supply for bluetooth
internal regulator, which is switched on by PURX line. Antenna is integrated into the
main PWB, same shape in all layers 1-8.
In fault situation check:
•There is no mechanical damage between test point J148 and antenna.
•Output of N131 (VREG_IN) is 2.8V at test point J130. If not, check control signal
PURX 1.8V at N131/pin3 and Vbat at N131/pin1. If OK, change N131.
Figure 27: Bluetooth test points
Camera
Camera is connected to baseband (UPP) through HW accelerator IC D970. External 1.8V
regulator N970 is used as a power supply (VCAMDIG) for camera module and for HW
accelerator together with VFLASH2. N970 is switched on and off by GENIO(1) line.
In fault situation:
•Remove camera module and check connector X970 contacts and solderings.
•Check regulator N970: output should be 1.8V at C983,984 when J974 is 1.8V.
•Signals are according to the attached figures below:
