Disassembly and Troubleshooting
PAMS Technical Documentation
Baseband Troubleshooting
When a faulty RPM-1 is taken under investigation a first a thorough visual
inspection should be done. Special attention should be paid to
– Solderings and condition of PCMCIA connector X400,
– Solderings of Sulo ASIC D400,
– Alignment of BGA packaged ICs MAD2WD1, CCONT, COBBA and
Flash (D500, N700, N600 and D501 respectively)
Current Consumption in Fault Diagnostics
When the RPM-1 is placed in service adapter JBS–23 and RESET button
is being pressed , the current consumption should be around 30 mA..
If the current consumption of the RPM-1 is several hundred mAs even
when RESET button of service adapter is pressed, there is obviously a
short circuit in the main power supply rail or massive failure in one of the
following circuits: CCONT (N700), PA power switch (N701), Sulo (D400),
Sulo core voltage regulator (N400) or MBUS switch (D402). Check
PCMCIA supply voltage (VCC) resistance to ground to determine this.
If the current consumption of the RPM-1 is constantly significantly higher
than expected, for example 100–300 mA even when RESET button of
service adapter is pressed, but VCC to GND resistance is OK, either one
of CCONT’s (N700) regulator outputs is short circuited to GND or Sulo
core voltage regulator (N400) output is short circuited to GND. Check resistances to GND from CCONT regulator output voltages. (J702, J703,
J704, J705, J706, J708, J724 to be 2.8 V, J712 to be either 1.975 or 1.75
V and J709 to be 5 V.) Also check Sulo core voltage regulator output voltage to be 2.8 V. (This can be measured from capacitor C404’s positive
terminal.)

Battery voltage should be about 5.0 V, if not, there is probably a problem
with either power supply, CCONT (N700) or MAD2WD1 – CCONT interface. First try running factory setup. (Check RF tunings after running factory setup!)
Page 20
Battery Temperature should be about 5 degrees above room temperature. If temperature reading is over 5 degrees below or over 15 degrees
above room temperature run factory setup. (Check RF tunings after running factory setup!)

– Check R703 and C725
– Check VREF level, should be (1.50.033) V
– If both are OK, but temperature reading is not OK, there is a problem
with CCONT (N700) or CCONT – MAD2WD1 (D500) interface bus. If
supply voltage reading is OK, change N700 if both readings fail, problem can also be in D500.
See section Audio Fails for accessory detection test.
SIM Card Failure
If the RPM–1 User Interface asks user to insert SIM card even when a
known good SIM card is installed there is probably a problem in SIM interface signals. The SIM is controlled by MAD2WD1 (D500) and CCONT
(N700) is used as signal level sifter between MAD2WD1 and SIM card.
SIM interface signals can be tested without SIM card. After power up or
releasing reset (JBS–23 reset button) activity can be measured in all of
the SIM interface signals. See NO TAG and NO TAG for logical connections and SIM card reader pinout.

Audio Fails
Audio testing means only analog audio related things (headset connection), because the RPM-1 does not support PC–audio. Consequently the
headset is necessary in these tests. WinTesla can be used for checking
some basics of properly working audio.
The whole audio functioning can be tested by following steps. However,
when looping audio, it is often quite difficult to specify exactly the failing
section. Two following sections give some useful hints to tests mic and
ear paths separately. But first of all, be sure to have working headset
(HDC–6D).
When the loop is set on, it should be heard from the earpiece what is said
to the microphone (without delay).
– WinTesla: Testing => Audio => Internal...
RPM-1
Disassembly and Troubleshooting
– Loop (on/off)
One of the first things which could cause audio loop fail is that Dragon
hasn’t noticed the existing headset. That could be tested by following way
(checking ADC–values).
– WinTesla: Testing => ADC Readings...
– Accessory Detection:
<650 (headset in), >650 (headset out)
if Micbias not on, then <100 (headset in), >800 (headset
out)
– Hook Information: 1 (button pushed), else 0
Micbias will be switched on when the loop is activated. After deactivating
the loop, micbias remain on. But if it (Accessory Detection) is checked before activating the audio loop, micbias is off.
If there appear some problems, next components should be checked:
– Headset connector and EMI–components (E600...E603, Z600...Z602,
C601, C603, C619, C620, C630...C632, V600 and R609...R611)
– Loop on => Micbias (2.1V) on testpoint J614
– Audio–signal on testpoint J604 (if missing, check components: C636,
C618, C635 and R630)
Audio–signal should be seen clearly with oscilloscope (1ms/div, 100mV/
div) while e.g. blowing to the microphone.
– Output on testpoint J620
Output could be checked with oscilloscope (1ms/div, 100mV/div). There
should be seen also dc–level of about 1 to 1.5 V in the output.
If the signal on the testpoint seems to be OK, but anything could be heard
from the earpiece, check components: C616, R603.

RF trouble shooting principles
The idea is to first roughly find out where the problem might be:
– RX?
– TX?
– Common parts to RX and TX, i.e. synthesizer, antenna switch, or an-
tenna?
This is quickly found out using the WinTesla, a signal generator, and a
spectrum analyzer. After the problem has been located in one of the
above said ’main blocks’ the particlular ’main block’ must be examined in
more detail. Refer to the figures below.

Typical signal levels and signal shapes are listed in the tables and there is

in DUT and it is input signal, check the signal route where it should be
coming (schematic) and check that block (CCONT, COBBA, MAD2WD1
synthesizer ...). If the defective signal is output signal the error can be in
the block under the examination..

Note: If 2st IF in (positive or negative) signal level isn’t correct (and 2st IF
out is correct), change 13MHz filter Z301.
There are feedback connections between SUMMA and COBBA for AGC,
so if AGC voltage isn’t correct, the reason can be either SUMMA or baseband.

TX trouble shooting
Test each block separately while the phone is in local mode, TX being active.
Connect a 20 dB attenuator to the antenna–connector using the XRP–2S
antenna cable.
Test equipment
– Service adapter JBS–23
– Cable DAU–9P
– Charger ACH–6
RPM-1
Disassembly and Troubleshooting
– PC with WinTesla SW
– Security key PKD–1A
– Spectrum analyzer
– HF–probe (Note the voltage handling capability of the probe)
– RF cable XRP–2S
– Attenuator 20 dB (e.g. HP8491A)
Test each block separately while the phone is in local mode, TX being ac-
tive. Measure the RF and IF signal inputs and outputs using the HF–
probe (eg. HP 85024A). Use the 10:1 adaptor (20 dB attenuator). Measure the operating voltage and the control signals using oscilloscope (or
multimeter).
Take off the metal covers of RPM–1 in order to be able to probe. Connect
test equipment as in figure. Make sure that the PCMCIA connector connects properly, since the covers are not forcing proper match between the
card and socket!
Typical signal levels and signal shapes are listed in the tables and there is
also some oscilloscope views in the pictures. If there is not right signals in
GX9 and it is input signal, check the signal route where it should be coming (schematic) and check that block (CCONT, COBBA, MAD2WD1 synthesizer ...). If the defective signal is output signal the error can be in the
block under the examination.

– Oscilloscope
Test each block separately while the phone is in local mode. Measure the
LO and clock outputs using the HF–probe . Use the 10:1 adaptor(20 dB
attenuator). Measure the operating voltage using voltage meter and the
control signals using oscilloscope.
If control or operating voltages from BB are not correct check them without load. If they are still uncorrect => Read baseband trouble shooting.
Otherwise change component.
If signal levels are not correct in component outputs and operating and
control voltages are correct (and there is correct input signals) => Change
broken component.
After component changes the tunings has to be made. Also the call check
should be made (against tester or some operator).

RF–BB Interface
In case of some malfunctions in the phone the reason might be also in the
RF–BB interface. If the baseband seems to be OK (usually it is if the WinTesla conection works correctly) but, however, there appears something
strange while e.g. trying to establish a call. The following table summarizes all the signals related to the RF–BB interface.
