Note: A new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge the battery only with the chargers
approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to
a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
For good operation times with Li-Ion batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving the product
switched on until it turns itself off (or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory
available for the product). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or
pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) for example
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery
or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce
the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°
F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as household waste.

The first step is to verify with a working display that the fault is not on the display module itself. The display
module cannot be repaired.
The second step is to check that the engine is working normally. This can be done by connecting the phone
to a docking station and starting Phoenix service software. With the help of Phoenix read the phone
information to check that also the application engine is functioning normally (you should be able to read the
APE ID).
After these checks proceed to the display troubleshooting flowcharts. Use the Display Test tool in Phoenix to
find the detailed fault mode.
Pixel defects
Table 10 Display module troubleshooting cases
Display blankThere is no image on the display. The display looks
the same when the phone is on as it does when the
phone is off. The backlight can be on in some cases.
Image on the display not correctImage on the display can be corrupted or a part of
the image can be missing. If a part of the image is
missing, change the display module. If the image is
otherwise corrupted, follow the appropriate
troubleshooting diagram.
Backlight dim or not working at allBacklight LED components are inside the display
module. Backlight failure can also be in the
connector or in the backlight power source in the
main engine of the phone. Backlight is also
controlled automatically by the ambient light
sensor.
This means that in case the display is working
(image OK), the backlight is faulty.
Visual defects (pixel)Pixel defects can be checked by controlling the
display with Phoenix. Use both colours, black and
white, on a full screen.
The display may have some random pixel defects
that are acceptable for this type of display. The
criteria when pixel defects are regarded as a display
failure, resulting in a replacement of the display, are
presented the following table.
Table 11 Pixel defects
Bright sub-pixels(sometimes called on-pixels or stuck-on) are
characterized by the appearance of bright/colored
pixels in, for example, black full screen picture.
Dark sub-pixels(sometimes called off-pixels, stuck-off, or black
pixels) are characterized by the appearance of dark
pixels in white, red, green, or blue full-screen
picture.
Combined sub-pixeldefects are characterized by at least two sub-pixels
defects (bright or dim) being closer than 5 mm to
each other.
Temporal sub-pixels(sometimes called blinking defects) exhibit
temporal variations not related to any steady-state
video input. Temporal sub-pixel defects may be
intermittent, exhibit a sudden change of state, or
be flickering.

Note: Blinking pixels are not allowed in normal operating temperatures and light conditions.
Single-ended external earpiece and differential internal earpiece outputs can be measured either with a
single-ended or a differential probe.
When measuring with a single-ended probe each output is measured against the ground.
Internal handsfree output is measured using a current probe, if a special low-pass filter designed for
measuring a digital amplifier is not available. Note also that when using a current probe, the input signal
frequency must be set to 2 kHz.
The input signal for each loop test can be either single-ended or differential. Exception to this is a digital
microphone which needs input signal from an external sound source (laptop speaker) to playback, eg. 1 kHz
sine wave from 5 cm distance.
Required equipment
The following equipment is needed for the tests:
•
Oscilloscope
•
Function generator (sine waveform)
•
Current probe (Internal handsfree DPMA output measurement)
•
Phoenix service software
•
Battery voltage 3.7V
•
Sound source (laptop speaker or B&K type 4231 calibrator)
Test procedure
Audio can be tested using the Phoenix audio routings option. Three different audio loop paths can be
activated:
•
External headset mic to earpiece
•
External headset mic to IHF mono
•
Internal digital microphone to headset
Each audio loop sets routing from the specified input to the specified output enabling a quick in-out test.
Loop path gains are fixed and they cannot be changed using Phoenix. Correct pins and signals for each test
are presented in the following table.
Phoenix audio loop tests and test results
The results presented in the table apply when no accessory is connected and battery voltage is set to 3.7V.
Earpiece, internal microphone and speaker are in place during measurement. Applying a headset accessory
during measurement causes a significant drop in measured quantities.
The gain values presented in the table apply for a differential output vs. single-ended/differential input.
Ambient Light Sensor consists of the following components:
•
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)
ALS is a digital I2C interface component, having two channels with different spectral sensitivities. When
combined, the component responds to illuminance similar as human eye.
•
Vdd Filtering capacitor C1530
Ambient Light Sensor information is used to control keypad and display brightness of the phone.
Keyboard backlight is turned OFF when it is not needed. Display brightness is dimmed when environment
lighting is dark.
Ambient Light Sensor is calibrated in production and can be re-tuned in service points though not
recommended unless calibration coefficient are lost for some reason
ALS troubleshooting
Context
Functionality check:
Steps
1. Connect phone to Phoenix and set the phone (e.g. on the table) so that the amount of ambient light seen
by ALS is as stable as possible.
2. Start Phoenix
3. Choose File -> Scan product
4. Choose Testing -> Display Test
5. Open the Lights tab, check Ambient Light Sensor check box, click Read, cover the sensor and click Read
again. When covered, Luminance reading should be less than after clicking Read without covering the
sensor.
6. If component doesn’t give any reading or reading doesn’t change when sensor is/is not covered, replace
the part.
Note: After replacing the ALS. If calibration values of the new sensor are lost or for some other
reason, ALS re-tuning is required (see instructions later in this document).
When doing the ALS calibration procedure, it is required to have a reference phone, which includes
calibrated ALS. ALS re-tuning instructions show why the reference phone is needed.
Re-tuning ALS
Steps
1.Connect reference phone to Phoenix and set the phone (e.g. on the table) so that the amount of ambient
4.Choose Tuning -> Ambient Light Sensor Calibration. You should see the following window:
RX-51
5.Read AD-count values for Channel 0 and Channel 1 by click Read button and write them down.
6.Repeat 1-5 for the phone to be calibrated and make sure the phone to be calibrated is located in the
same place as reference phone was when luminance reading was taken.
7.Calculate co-efficient from reference phone and phone to be calibrated AD-count values by division: Coefficient = AD-count(reference phone) / AD-count(phone to be calibrated), write down the calculated coefficient values.
8.-> Iterate by changing Channel 0 and Channel 1 (reference level) values (remove cross from ‘Use default
values only’). After writing some value to Channel 0 and Channel 1 (reference value), calibrate button
must be pressed. Stop iterating when Co-efficient is equal to Co-efficient calculated in step 7. Note that
decimal numbers should be used in the iteration in order to achieve enough precision (e.g. 200.2455)
9.After having same Co-efficient value in “Co-efficient” textbox as the calculated value, make sure that
ambient light values (read using Testing → Display Test → “Luminance” textbox) are almost the same
in reference phone and calibrated phone. Remember that illuminance readings for reference and
calibrated phones must be done in the same ambient light conditions. If illuminance values differs a lot
(difference max. +- 10%), repeat whole ALS re-tuning procedure.
10. To end the calibration, click Close.
Bluetooth and FM radio troubleshooting

Bluetooth/FM radio component layout and test points
Figure 13 BT/FM component layout
The Bluetooth antenna is product specific (antenna integrated into phone B cover). On phones with WLAN,
the Bluetooth RF signal is routed through a WLAN front-end module and a shared Bluetooth / WLAN antenna
is used. The FM RF signal is routed through a product specific FM antenna matching circuit to the phone
headset connector. The FM radio audio signal is routed to the headset connector through the BB ASIC shared
by the phone audio functions.
Bluetooth BER test
Prerequisites
JBT-9, or SB-6 Bluetooth test box (BT-box) is required to perform a BER test. If a BT-box not available Bluetooth
functionality can be checked by transferring a file to another Bluetooth phone.
Steps
1. Connect data cable to phone.
2. Start
3. Choose File → Scan Product.
4. Choose Testing → Bluetooth LOCALS .
5. Locate the BT-box serial number (12 digits) found in the type label on the back of the JBT-9, or SB-6
6. In the Bluetooth
7. Place the BT-box near (within 10 cm) of the phone and click Start BER Test.
RF level should be varied during the test to obtain good audio signal quality
•
Connect suitable antenna to signal generator
Note: You may alternately use a known good FM radio broadcast as a test signal.
2. Attach the Nokia headset to the phone’s AV connector.
3. Use Scroll button to autotune to the radio frequency.
4. Set volume to suitable level.
5. Check audio quality with a headset.
GPS troubleshooting
GPS layout and basic test points
The GPS components are located on the top side of the PWB. Satellite signals are picked up by the GPS antenna
in the B-cover. The signal is then routed through a filter before being processed by the GPS5350 receiver ASIC.
This test will perform 3 tests in one: Self test, Oscillator Test and CW Test and will provide a Pass/Fail Response
for each. The HW Self Test confirms basic communication with the GPS ASIC. The oscillator test confirms the
frequency accuracy of the GPS TCXO against the Ref_Clk. The CW Test confirms end-to-end connectivity
between the GPS antenna and the GPS ASIC. It also contains a receive button.
Before this test is performed a known good phone should be tested in order to calibrate the setup. The signal
level of the Signal Generator should be adjusted so a reading of SNR 35 dB is achieved with the reference
unit. A good starting point is to set up the signal generator to -50 dBm.
These checks are part of GPS failure troubleshooting (page 3–57).
