This document is intend to be a guide for localizing and repairing electrical
faults in the RAE–3 device. First there is a brief guide for fault localizing. Then
fault repairing is divided into troubleshooting paths.
Before any service operation you must be familiar with the RAE-3 product and
module level architecture. You must also be familiar with the RAE-3 specified
service tools such as the WinTesla service software, Flashing tools and software. Basic skills of using RF measurement devices are required when starting
to follow the RF troubleshooting paths.
RAE–3 System HW / UI Troubleshooting
Tools needed for troubleshooting:
SService tools defined in RAE–3 manual “Service Tools” section
SLaboratory power supply with current indicator
SOscilloscope
Technical Documentation
SDigital multimeter . .
General guidelines
General notes about the RAE–3 product:
SRAE–3 has only one common engine – BL8 system HW, . . . .
comprising CMT (phone) and PDA (computer). . . . .
SThere are separate CMT and PDA displays and keyboards
SCMT display/keyboard and PDA display are on the UI module
DL2. . . . .
SPDA QWERTY–keyboard UI is on UL8 flex module
SAudio connections for the handsfree speaker and earpiece are
on the UL8 flex module. . . . .
When you have a faulty RAE-3 device and you start to troubleshoot it, check
first the following items:
SIf the RAE-3 cannot be turned on by any means, see ”dead . .
device” troubleshooting. . . . .
SBlinking CMT display means that a memory fault is preventing
normal boot up (–> Memory tests). . . . .
Page 8 – 6
SCurrent consumption (missing consumption) gives an idea . . .
whether the device able to start up. . . . .
SDropping supply voltage indicates a short circuit
SCheck whether the connection with Wintesla works and what can
be discovered with Wintesla. . . . .
SCheck self tests with Wintesla if ”CONT ACT SERVICE” is shown
on the CMT display. . . . .

SCheck visual display faults
SCheck that all connectors make good contacts
– this might be the problem if the displays are dark or partially dark or if there
are keyboard problems.
Locate failed module (BL8, UL8, DL2) with the MJS–14 test jig.
This is the basis of further troubleshooting.
SCheck the failed module(s) visually:
– mechanical damages?
– solder joints OK?
Continue with the specific troubleshooting procedure for the module:
SIf there is an obvious fault, repair it before reflashing the device
SFlash first if a fault is not obvious
– Flashing troubleshooting leads to power checking and serial interface
checking if flashing does not start.
– At the beginning of flash programming, all memory interfaces are first
tested
– If flashing is aborted and error(s) return, refer to Memory testing section.
8. Troubleshooting
Due to CSP packages short–circuits or broken solder joints are not easily seen.
If the examined signal seems to be continuously in low or high level, then measure for possible short–circuit to ground (signal low) or to supply voltage (signal
high). Note that if a problem is not found from any visible contact/component it
can be under the CSPs where the signal is connected.
If there is no short circuit and the signal level is continuously at a low level, then
the following faults are possible:
– contact problem in output soldering (output active)
– contact problem in soldering of pin having internal pull–up (tri–stated signals)
Care must be taken when assembling and disassembling the transceiver. Refer to the instructions in this manual. Failure to do this may result in unnecessary damage to the device.
The PDA display must be calibrated after the following actions have been taken:
– RAE–3 has been flashed
– PDA display or DL2 module has been replaced
Note:
set the RTC running time to 10 hours.
– Service battery BBL-3B does that automatically.
– Always use only the BBL-3B service battery with Wintesla.
The last step in service before returning the RAE-3 to the customer is to

2.3Device does not stay ON
If the device is switched off without any visible reason, there may be problems
in the following areas:
SCCONT watch dog problem
SBSI or BTEMP line problem
SBattery line problem
SSoldering problem
The most likely reason is CCONT WD (watchdog) problem, which turns the device off after about 32 s.
This may be caused by SW problem, MadLinda problem, CCONT problem or
memory problems.
The following tests are recommended:
SGeneral Power Checking
8. Troubleshooting

If there is something wrong in BSI and BTEMP lines, the device seems to be
dead after battery insertion. However, the regulators in the device are on 10s
before the powerdown.
This mode can easily be detected from the current consumption of the device.
After 10s the current consumption drops almost to 0mA.

When you are charging totally empty battery, remember that start–up charging
might take 2 minutes with ACP–9 charger and several minutes with ACP–7
charger.
During this time display is blank. If charger is not NMP approved type and supported by phone then the software doesn’t start charging and display ’NOT

CAUTION
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the
equipment manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to
Technical Documentation
the manufacturer’s instructions.
2.5.1Backup battery troubleshooting
Main power supply to the device must be 3.7 V when used.
Symptom of Backup battery fault is:
Real Time Clock loses the correct time when the main battery is not connected.
The same symptom can also be seen when the backup battery is empty. About
one week is needed to fully charge the backup battery in the device.
Always check the backup battery visually for any leakage or any other visual
defect.
Check that the backup battery is correctly mounted in the device before closing
the cover.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE BACKUP BATTERY DOES NOT TOLERATE EX-
CESS HEAT. WHENEVER HEAT BLOWER IS USED, FOR EXAMPLE TO REMOVE COMPONENTS, FIRST REMOVE THE BACKUP BATTERY AND
PLACE IT TO ADEQUATE DISTANCE FROM THE WORKING LOCATION.

2.7Clocks
2.7.1Clocks Troubleshooting
When the flashing of the device does not succeed, but the powering is OK, follow these instructions.
Note: The absence of clocks may indicate that the device is in sleep mode.
Move the magnet away from the sensor to simulate cover open situation.
IMPORTANT: Clock signals must be measured with 1MΩ (or greater) probe!
New Tektronix P6249 probes (20kΩ impedance) and similar cannot be used!
1Measure RFC signal at C303. It should show 13.000 MHz sine wave,
approximately 1.2Vp–p with about 950mV DC–offset (see Figure 17). Check
the C303 capacitor.
•If this is OK, the processor gets the clock signal. The processor may
be faulty, or the fault is in the memories. Continue to ”Memories” section.
•If there is the clock signal, but there is no DC–offset (signal low level
around 0V), check the probe used so that it is not loading the signal. If the
probe is not responsible for missing DC–offset, try cycling the power a couple
of times. If this does not help, the clock slicer circuitry in the MADLinda (D300)
is faulty.
8. Troubleshooting
•If there is no clock signal at all, continue at 2.
Figure 17. Clock signal
2.Check VXO power line at C553. It should be around 2.8V. If it is,
move to 4.
3.Check VCXOPwr (J302). It should be around 2.8V.
•If it is 2.8V, CCONT (N100) is faulty.
•If VCXOPwr is 0V, MADLinda (D300) has shut down the regulators
(sleep) or it is faulty. Cycle the power and re–check.

– manufacturer and device id are read from each of the flashes then compared
to value stored in FLASH 0.
– id read program code is executed from API RAM
– If FLASH 0 is broken the phone will not boot up properly (user test code re-
sides in FLASH 0) i.e. probably not even blink CMT backlights.
– If one or more flash manufacturer and device id read fail CMT display back-
lights will blink 2 times in a loop.

– If either of these tests fail CMT display backlights will blink 3 times in a loop
Serial FLASH (D354):
– Id is read and id bits (3–5) are compared to value 0x30
– If the test fails CMT display backlights will blink 4 times in a loop
– tested lines: SEPI, SEPO and SEPClk

2.9Memory Troubleshooting
2.9.1 Memory fails In Boot Up tests, CMT Backlight is blinking
If the device won’t boot up and CMT display backlight is blinking
⇒ FLASH 0 (D351) probably ok !
To measure signals from D352, D353, D350 and D354 the device needs to re-
booted up constantly since the lines are active only a short time in the beginning of the boot.
Also CCONT WATCHDOG will shut the device off after 32 seconds !
Time between each memory device blinks is 1 second and time between differ-
ent memory device blinks is 2 seconds.
For example if FLASH1 and Serial Flash are broken the blinking sequence
goes:
2 blinks with 1 sec interval (FLASH fault)
2 sec without blinks
4 blinks with 1 sec intervals (Serial Flash fault)
2 sec without blinks
then to the beginning again

Display Information: ”Contact Service”
This fault means that software is able to run and thus the watchdog of CCONT
(N100) can be served. Self–test functions are executed when power is switched
on and software is started to execute from flash.
If any one of the self–tests fails (except no. 3, 7, 8, and F), the text ”Contact
Service” is shown in the phone display.
MCU Self–tests are divided into those executed while power up (tests: 1–5 and
9–I ) and the ones can be executed with the connected PC. The tests and included items are as follows (Figure 33, screendump from the WinTesla)

The information can be used for diagnosis.
Memory tests differ from normal DCT3 self–tests. They can not be executed in

MADLinda writes to CCONT. The data at sixth bit is ’0’ as marked with the cursors. The data after the read/write bit varies, just like the address before the bit.
If you can see this kind of traffic, MADLinda side of the interface is functioning
correctly.

MADLinda reads from CCONT. The data at sixth bit is ’1’, marked with the cursors. There should be data seen after the ’read’ bit. All zero values may be
read, but there should be other data seen, too. CCONT read cycles are fairly
rare compared to write cycles. If there is not any non–zero reads from CCONT,
the CCONT (N100) may be faulty.

2.13.3Insert SIM card
The hardware of the SIM interface from the MADLinda (D300) to the SIM connector (X101) can be tested without SIM card. This leaves SIM connector
(X101) contacts to be used as an measurement points.
When the power is switched on and if the BSI line (X100:2) is grounded by resistor (which happens automatically in service jig), all the used lines (VSIM,
RST, CLK & DATA) rise up to 3V and/or 5V four times (SW tries to ask SIM card
four times).
NOTE1: CHECK THE MEASUREMENT POINT PICTURE BEFORE SERVICE
ACTIONS
SIM_xxx_Cardside – refers to signal which exists in SIM card contacts
SIM_xxx_o – refers to signal which exists in CCONT(N100) side
NOTE2: SIM Signals between CCONT (N100) and LindaMAD (D300) are not
possible to measure in BL8–module because traces are running in inner layers
of PWB.
Start with assembled device with a faultless memory card inserted.
If necessary, proceed with tests in the jig with the faultless memory card in-
serted.
Clk, Cmd and Data OK means that frequency, rise and fall timing are OK during
various operating modes.
Note:
During initialization phase (MMCClk = lower frequency) the response via
MMCCmd line from card to MAD is sent in open drain mode i.e. rise time is
about 1us.
Voltage of MMCCmd and MMCDa signals depends on direction of transfer
(MAD I/O voltage is 2.8V and Card I/O is 3.0V).
Test pads J10x are located on the JL4 board of the Module Jig.

3DL2 UI Troubleshooting
3.1CMT and keypad illumination problems
Each CMT–display and keypad LED has its own driver. If there is problems with
one or more
– Keypad–LED: check resistors R203–R208, transistors V213, V203, V204 and
the LEDs.
– CMT–LED: check resistors R200–R202, transistor V206 and the LEDs.
If the illumination does not work at all, measure voltages VB and KBLIGHTS.
VB should be the same as VBATT and KBLIGHTS approximately 2.5V when
the LEDs are supposed to be on. If these voltages are not correct, problem is in
hinge flex, connector X001 or on BL8 (see 2.23 in this document).
