Introduction to NEM-4 Troubleshooting
This document is intend to be a guide for localizing and repairing electrical faults in the
NEM-4 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 NEM-4 product and module
level architecture. You have to also be familiar with the NEM-4 specified service tools
such as the Phoenix service software, flashing tools and software.
General guidelines for NEM-4 trouble shooting
Tools needed for Troubleshooting
• Service tools (as listed at service tools chapter in service manual)
• Laboratory power supply with current indicator
• Oscilloscope
• Digital multimeter …
General guidelines
If the device cannot be turned on by any means, see “dead device” trouble shooting
Current consumption (missing consumption) gives an idea whether the device is able to
start up.
Dropping supply voltage or very large current consumption indicates a short circuit
Check whether the connection with Phoenix works and what can be discovered with
Phoenix (ADC-readings, baseband selftest, bb-calibrations etc.)
Check baseband selftests with Phoenix if “CONTACT SERVICE” is shown on the display.
Check visually display and rocker faults
Force phone to LOCAL mode and make keyboard test by phoenix
Check that board-to-board connector is OK, and connectors make good contacts.
If liquid damage, stop repairing!
Flash phone before disassembling it if fault is not obvious and Phoenix connection is OK.
Disassemble phone:
Check failed module visually:
Mechanical damages?

BB Troubleshooting CCS Technical Documentation
Solder joints OK?
Continue with specific trouble shooting procedure for the module:
If there is an obvious fault, repair it before reflashing the device
Flash first if a fault is not obvious
If flashing is not working go to flashing trouble shooting
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 CSPs where the signal is connected.
Care must be taken when assembling and disassembling the transceiver. Failure to do
this may result in unnecessary damage to device.
Nominal current consumption
NOTE: Service tools need some amount of current to work.
The following current consumption values are measured from a complete NEM-4.
Vbatt = 3.6V
Measured nominal currents are drawn from the main battery.
Measurements have been made with a current probe connected to an oscilloscope.
Operating Mode Current Consumption
Idle 5mA
2W audio call 350mA (LOCAL MODE)
MP3 playback nominal 80mA
FM-radio playback nominal 25mA

CONTACT SERVICE on display (Self-tests by Phoenix)
Display information: “Contact Service”
This fault means that software is able to run and thus the watchdog of UEM can be
served.
Selftest functions are executed when the phone is powered on and if one or more selftest functions fail, the message “Contact Service” is shown on the display.
MCU selftest cases can be split into two categories: The ones that are executed during
power up and the ones that are executed only with a PC connected. These test and the
items included are as follows:

Flashing Troubleshooting
NEM-4 has three memory components installed on the main pwb. The best indication of
which one is causing problems can be obtained by flashing the device. It has to be kept
in mind that all three flashes are interfaced with UPP WD2 asic that might it self have
some problems. The necessary steps are described below. Phoenix error messages during
flashing greatly help on defining what is wrong. To be able to flash the device, most
device BB area components must function properly.

Energy management Troubleshooting
Device does not stay on
If the device is switched off without any visible reason, there may be problems in the following areas:
• UEM watchdog problem (WD is not updated by SW)
• BSI line problem (BSI line is floating => contact failure)
• Battery line problem
• Soldering problem
The most likely reason is UEM WD (watchdog), which turns the device off after about 32
seconds if SW is jammed.
This may caused by SW problem, UPP_WD2 problem (Not server by SW), UEM or memory
malfunctions.
The following tests are recommended:
• General power checking
• Clocks
•Memory testing
• Serial Interface
If there is something wrong in BSI line, the device seems to be dead after the power key
is pressed. However the regulators of the device are on a few seconds before the powerdown.
This mode can easily be detected from the current consumption of the device. After a
few seconds the current consumption drops almost to 0 mA.
In this case check component or soldering
• Battery connector X381
EMI-filter R385
UEM D190 (pin number C2)
If phone boots to TEST or LOCAL mode with normal battery, BSI is short circuited to
ground. Check EMI-filter and filtering capacitors, which are located to BSI.

Clocks Troubleshooting
Clocks include the following:
RF-clock
ADSP Clock
DBUS, CBUS clocks
Flash and SDRAM clocks
Sleep clock
Bluetooth clock
SIM clock
MMC clock
NEM-4 has three external oscillators for baseband clocking. The main clock is generated
by 26MHz oscillator (B601) and routed through Mjoelner RF ASIC to UPP_WD2 engine
ASIC. Sleep Clock is generated by 32kHz oscillator to UEM, which then supplies it to
UPP_WD2, Bluetooth module and FM radio chip. The third oscillator generates 12MHz
clock for ADSP and AIC. UPP_WD2 uses the system clock to generate various clocks for
different purposes.

When the flashing of the device does not succeed, but powering is OK, follow these
instructions.
Note: The absence of clocks may indicate that the device (put phone to LOCAL mode
when the sleep is not allowed or press buttons so that phone is not in sleep mode) is in
sleep mode. Make sure that the device is not in sleep during clocks measuring.
IMPORTANT: Clock signals have to be measured with 1MΩ (or greater) probes!
Measure signal from J170. This should be 26Mhz clock signal. See RF Troubleshooting for
further information.
Check the crystal oscillator (B190) is oscillating at 32.768kHz frequency. If not change
B190. If ok, measure SleepClk from test point from capacitor C521. Frequency should be
the same 32.678kHz (see Figure 2, “Sleep clock,” on page 20 below.) If not change UEM.
Figure 2: Sleep clock
ADSP Clock (12MHz sine wave) can be measured from oscillator B550.
Charging checking
Use the BL5-C battery and JBV-1/MJF-26 calibration set to test charging. (NOTE: power
supply cannot be charged if it not has a current sinking capability.) When you are charging totally empty battery, remember that start-up charging might take a little bit longer
time than normal. During this time display is blank.
If charger is not NMP approved type and its current and voltage is not within NMP
charger window then software does not start charging and there is “NOT CHARGING” on
the display. Voltage should be between 5.3V - 9.5V and current between 200mA –

Calibration can be checked using ADC-readings. Known voltages, currents and resistances are fed and read by ADC-readings, read values and known values can be compared.
ADC-reading
Divided and scaled battery voltage, Charger voltage, Charger current, BSI and Btemp values can be read by this tool. Read values few times before you can be sure that results
are accurate.
NOTE: IF Vbatt Scaled and Divided unit results are different default calibration values are
used. In this case perform EM-calibration to get full performance of phone.

Backup battery
Symptom of backup battery fault is
Real Time Clock loses the correct time during short main battery removal.
The same symptom can also be seen when the backup battery is empty. About 30 minutes is needed to fully charge the backup battery in the device. NOTE: Backup battery is
charged when the phone is powered or when the device is LOCAL or TEST mode.
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.
Check with Phoenix that backup battery is OK
Measure the voltage of backup battery
• Normal operation when the voltage is > 2.0V
• Fully charged when the voltage is about 3.2V (because of large internal impedance voltage won’t stay above 3.0V a long time after charging is disabled)
Enable backup battery charging (start to charge main battery or boot device to LOCAL or
TEST mode)
Measure voltage of backup battery during charging, It should arise if it is not 3.2V, yet.
When the voltage is over 2.0V for sure, check backup battery with Phoenix.
-> In not OK then D190 is faulty.
Ensure that the RTC is running.

The SIM power up/down sequence is generated in the UEM. This means that the UEM
generates the RST signal to the SIM. Also the SIMCardDet signal is connected to UEM.
The card detection is taken from the BSI signal, which detects the removal of the battery.
Monitoring of the BSI signal is done by a comparator inside UEM. The threshold voltage
is calculated from the battery size specifications.
The SIM interface is powered up when the SIMCardDet signal indicates ”card in”. This
signal is derived from the BSI signal. SW tries first to power up the SIM with 1.8 V. If this
doesn't succeed power up is repeated with VSIM switched to 3 V.
The data communication between the card and the phone is asynchronous half duplex.
The clock supplied to the card is in GSM system 1.083 MHz or 3.25 MHz. The data
baudrate is SIM card clock frequency divided by 372 (by default), 64, 32 or 16.

Memory Troubleshooting
Most memory related errors are found through flashing the device, flashing the device is
therefore recommended before any of the steps described in this chapter. Check flashing
Troubleshooting section first.
There are however a few memory related errors that cannot be found through flashing.
• SDRAM(D312) partially damaged. This can mean that the SDRAM component itself is partially
damaged and all the memory locations cannot be successfully read or there is a soldering problem somewhere either under UPP or SDRAM. There is a BB self test for testing SDRAM component
quite thoroughly, but the problem is that if SDRAM doesn't function properly one may not be able
to run those tests as SDRAM is used during the device boot and selftest cannot be run if the
device hasn't booted.
• DEVICE may inform about being "out of memory " more often than it should
• flash1 (D310) or flash 2 (D313) is partially/totally damaged. During flashing the manufacturer,
device and revision id's are read, but flashing is done based on id's of the flash0 (D311). This
means that one cannot see any error messages displayed on Phoenix window during flashing if
flash1 or flash 2 is failing. Id's are however displayed on the Phoenix window and successful read
of flash1 id's can be checked from there.

Introduction
Two types of measurements have to be done for repair of the phone boards:
• RF measurements shall be done using a Spectrum Analyzer together with a high-frequency probe. (Note, that signal will be significantly attenuated). Correct attenuation can be checked by using a “good” phone board, for example.
• LF (Low frequency) and DC measurements shall be done with a an oscilloscope
together with an 10:1 probe.
Always make sure that the measurement set-up is calibrated when measuring RF parameters at the RF connector. Remember to include the correct losses in the module repair
jig and the connecting cable when realigning the phone.
Most RF semiconductors are static discharge sensitive. ESD protection must be taken
into account during repair (ground straps and ESD soldering irons).
Mjoelner RF ASIC is moisture sensitive. Therefore, Mjoelner RF ASIC must be pre-baked
prior to soldering.

RF Troubleshooting CCS Technical Documentation
Rx calibration done via Phoenix software is temperature sensitive because of calibration of 26 MHz reference oscillator (VCXO). According to Mjoelner specification
ambient temperature has to be in a range from 22°C to 36°C.
Apart from key-components described in this document there are a lot of discrete components (resistors, inductors and capacitors) for which Troubleshooting is done by checking if soldering of the component is done properly and checking if the component is
missing from PWB. Capacitors can be checked for short-circuiting and resistors for value
by means of an ohm-meter, but be aware in-circuit measurements should be evaluated
carefully.
In the following both, the name EGSM and EGSM900 will be used for the low band. DCS
or PCN and GSM1800 will be used for the mid band. PCS and GSM1900 will be used for
the high band.

RF in general
The RF part is a triple-band direct conversion transceiver. Using direct conversion no
intermediate frequencies are used for up- or down- conversion.
The VCO is set to either twice or four times (depending on the band used) the wanted RX
or TX frequency. The VCO frequency is divided by either 2 or 4 and fed to the mixers
(down-conversion) or modulators (up-conversion). Up- or down- conversion is done in
one step, directly between RF frequency and DC. All up and down-conversion takes place
in the RF ASIC named Mjoelner (N601).
Mjoelner RF ASIC also contains PLL and LNAs for all used bands. A DC control section is
included in to power and/or control EGSM TX buffer, detector and antenna switch. The
Mjoelner RF ASIC is controlled via a serial bus.
Mjoelner RF ASIC contains an integrated VCXO which uses an external 26 MHz Xtal. No
analogue AFC signal is needed. AFC is done via the serial interface of Mjoelner.
The interface between Mjoelner RF ASIC, UPP and Bluetooth uses a 26 MHz reference
clock. An external 26 MHz reference clock buffer is used to drive Bluetooth module.
Figure 7: Tx measurement points inside Mjoelner can
The RF supports HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data) and GPRS (General Packed
Radio Service), meaning multi-slot operation, this will not require special equipment or
procedures in repair situations.

The RX/TX switch (Z601) works as diplexer. EGSM900 input signals pass to GSM_Rx output. GSM1800 input signals pass to PCN_Rx output or PCS_Rx output, depending on the
control signal VANTH (Cont2).
From RX1-GSM output of the antenna switch the RX signal is routed in the inner layers
of the PWB to the EGSM900 SAW filter (Z604). From RX2-DCS output the GSM1800 RX
signal is routed to the GSM1800 SAW filter (Z602). From RX3-PCS output the RX
GSM1900 signal is routed to the GSM1900 SAW filter (Z603).
Page 6(b)-68 Copyright 2003 Nokia Corporation Issue 1 09/2003

CCS Technical Documentation RF Troubleshooting
The RX/TX switch with routed lines has following typical insertion losses:
1.3dB@EGSM900, 1.6dB@GSM1800 and 1.6dB@GFSM1900.
Front-end
The RX front end includes three SAW filters (EGSM900 (Z604), GSM1800 (Z602),
GSM1900 (Z603)). Each of the SAW filters is matched with a differential matching circuit (LC-type) to the corresponding LNA input of Mjoelner RF ASIC (N601). The SAW filters provide out-of-band blocking immunity, the integrated LNAs provide the front-end
gains. Each of the SAW filters has a single-ended input and a balanced output which
provides a balanced RX signal to the corresponding input of the Mjoelner RF ASIC.
The SAW filters have maximum insertion losses of
3.5dB@EGSM900, 4.0dB@GSM1800 and 4.0dB@GSM1900.
RX paths of Mjoelner RF ASIC
The balanced RX signal is amplified by the integrated LNA and the subsequent Pre-Gain
stage. After amplification the RX signal is down-converted with a LO signal coming from
the local oscillator.
The RX paths of Mjoelner RF ASIC consist of following building blocks:
• Separate LNAs for each of the three bands: EGSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900.
Figure 11: Antenna switch Rx test points
• Two PREGAIN amplifiers, one for EGSM900 and one common for GSM1800 and
GSM1900.
• Two passive I/Q mixers (MIX), one for EGSM900 and one common for GSM1800 and
GSM1900.

The resulting BB signal is further amplified in the BB chain. For that no external circuitry
is required:
• Base band amplifiers (BBAMP1). That amplifiers implement the initial channel filtering.
• Low pass filters (LPF1).
• DC compensation / AGC amplifiers (DCN1). They implement gain steps from 0dB to
24dB in 6dB steps.
• Attenuators (AGC). They implement gain steps from -48dB to 0dB in 6dB steps,
yielding a total gain range of 72dB together with DCN1.
• Bi-quad filters (LPF2).
• DC compensation amplifiers (DCN2).
The differential base band outputs are internally DC coupled and can be connected
directly to the ADC inputs of the RF converter chip. The common mode level is set equal
to the VBEXT reference voltage.

General instructions for EGSM TX Troubleshooting
Apply a RF-cable to the RF-connector to allow the transmitted signal to act as normal.
RF-cable should be connected to measurement equipment (GSM Test equipment, Powermeter, Spectrum Analyzer, or similar). Be sure to use at least a 10-dB attenuator, otherwise the results may be incorrect.
Connect the phone to a PC with DAU-9S cable and dongle and follow the following
instructions:
Set the mode switch to ‘Local’ and connect the phone to a power supply (3.6V). When
using an MJS-80 module jig, a 4.2V supply is needed.
Open Phoenix and log in with your user ID.
Select File [Alt-F] -> Manage Connections [M] -> FBUS -> Apply -> Close window.
Select File -> Scan Product [Ctrl-R].
When the product has been found, the phone SW version can be read from the lower
edge of the Phoenix screen.
If the Operation is not shown, click Read button to see that Local mode has been
selected. Select Testing [Alt-S] -> RF controls [R].
Before choosing the band and Tx as Active Unit, and if the spectrum analyser is used,
make sure that the spectrum analyser reference level is higher than the expected TX
power.
Use the automatically selected channel.
Set Operation Mode to ‘Burst’.
Choose the Power level you want the phone to operate at.

EGSM900 TX path of Mjoelner RF ASIC
The balanced TX IQ signal is provided by the base band and is coming to the Mjoelner RF
ASIC. The TX paths of the Mjoelner RF ASIC include mainly two RF modulators for upconversion of the base band signals, one for EGSM900 and one common for GSM1800/
GSM1900. The base band signal is modulated with the LO signal corresponding to the
wanted TX channel. The GSM TX output of the Mjoelner RF ASIC is a balanced signal.
From the output of the Mjoelner RFASIC the signal is fed through the EGSM TX SAW filter (balanced to single-ended), a 900MHz buffer, and a 5-db pad to the PA EGSM input.
EGSM900 TX path of the Power Amplifier (PA)
The PA EGSM900 part has a maximum output power of app. 35dBm. Voltage supply is
coming directly from the Battery connectors.
The EGSM900 output is controlled by the power control loop. From the EGSM900 output
of the PA the RF signal is fed through the directional coupler (one of the power control
loop components) to the antenna switch.

If the Tx output is too high, then it is most likely that there is a problem within the Power
Control loop.

from DET to compare with TXC. The result is that Mjoelner drives VDP_900/VPD_1800
high to try and increase the power output so that the DET signal is matching TXC. With a
break in the Power Control loop, the DET signal never reaches Mjoelner so it assumes
that the PA is not outputting enough power so it tries to compensate by increasing the
gain.
When checking the Power Control loop, make sure that (C803) is pulsing at 2.8V Peak to
Peak. Check the DET pulse at Mjoelner input on R706.
This case is the same for EGSM, DCS1800 & DCS1900.

NEM-4 Synthesizer
There is only one PLL synthesizer generating frequencies for both Rx and Tx for all three
bands (EGSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900). VCO frequency is divided by 2 or by 4 in
Mjoelner depending on which band is active.
General instructions for Synthesizer Troubleshooting
Connect the phone to a PC with DAU-9P cable and dongle and follow these instructions:
Start Phoenix Service Software (dongle needed):
Open FBUS connection

Since VCO chamber is completely shielded, it is not easy to measure frequency of
3769.6MHz at the output of the VCO (G701) using a resistive probe and a spectrum ana-
lyzer. It is possible to measure tuning voltage at charge pump output (C710) easily. For
f
= 3769.6MHz the tuning voltage should be 2.3VDC .. 2.8VDC (Tuning sensitivity of
VCO
VCO is 240MHz/V typ.).

26 MHz reference oscillator (VCXO)
The 26 MHz reference oscillator (VCXO) is part of Mjoelner RF-ASIC (N601). It needs only
an external 26 MHz Xtal (B601) as external circuitry.
The reference oscillator has three functions:
• Reference frequency for the PLL synthesizer.
• System clock for BB (RFCLK_I = 26 MHz).
• 26 MHz Reference clock (LPRFCLK_I) for Bluetooth Module (N430) via buffer
V601.
For an error free initial synchronization, the 26MHz frequency of the VCXO must be
accurate enough. Therefore, a VCXO-calibration (cal) value is written via the serial Bus
into the RefOSCCAL register of Mjoelner and an additional bit in the RefOSCCntl register
of the Mjoelner. That is necessary for the rough calibration of the VCXO.
The VCXO is fine tuned by programming the AFC value via the serial bus of Mjoelner. The
necessary AFC value is written into the RefOSCAFC register in Mjoelner.
VCO
The VCO is able to generate frequencies in the range from 3420MHz to 3980MHz when
PLL is in function. The frequency of the VCO signal is divided by 2 or by 4 in Mjoelner RFASIC. So it is possible to generate the frequency of all channels in EGSM900, GSM1800
and GSM1900 (both RX and TX). Frequency of the VCO is controlled by DC voltage (Vc)
coming from the PLL loop filter. Range of Vc when PLL is in function is 0.7V– 3.8V. Typical tuning sensitivity of the VCO is 240MHz/V. Even if PLL is not working (Vc out of
range) there is a frequency at the output of the VCO, which is between 3 and 4 GHz (if
the VCO itself is ok).
