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 Troubleshooting

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?

6 - Troublehsooting Instructions Nokia Customer Care
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

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:
If some selftest is failed, see relevant chapter in this Troubleshooting document.

Baseband HW Subarea Troubleshooting

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

System clock can be measured from the lower pad of capacitor C171. This clock should be running when phone is on.
In SLEEP mode the VCXO is off. UEM generates low frequency clock signal (32.768 kHz) that is fed to UPP_WD2, Bluetooth and ZOCUS.

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 22 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 –

Energy management calibration
During energy management calibration A/D-converter, BSI, Btemp, Battery voltage, Charger voltage and Charger current are calibrated.
Limits for calculated calibration values are as follows:
Channel Low High
ADC Offset -50 50
ADC Gain 26000 29500
BSI Gain 860 1180
Vbatt Offset 2400 2600
Vbatt Gain 10000 11000
Vchar 57000 63000
Ichar 3600 5000
ADC-offset over limits: Inspect BSI line and components in it (R385, Pull-up resistor R220). If these are OK, change UEM.
BSI Gain over limits: Inspect BSI line and components in it (R385, Pull-up resistor R220). If these are OK, change UEM.

Vbatt offset and Gain: Inspect Vbatt lines and component in it.
Vchar over limits: Inspect components which are connected Vchar line: V383, F381 and L381
Ichar over limits: Inspect components which are connected at Vchar line. If those are OK, First change current sense resistor (R191), if calibration is not still successful change UEM.
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 high­frequency 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.
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.
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).

The RX/TX switch with routed lines has following typical insertion losses:
1.3dB@EGSM900, 1.6dB@GSM1800 and 1.6dB@GFSM1900.
Figure 27: Antenna switch Rx test points
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.
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.
Set spectrum analyzer centre frequency, 897.4MHz for EGSM, 1747.8MHz for PCN 1800 & 1880MHz PCS 1900 and set Span to 1MHz.
Set Amplitude of spectrum analyzer reference level to one that you can clearly see the transmit pulse according to the kind of test probe you are using.
Diagnose as per fault finding flow chart.
Note:Be careful when selecting the operation mode, if ‘Continuous’ is selected prolonged transmission may damage the phone.

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.
Mjoelner is receiving the Reference TXC from Baseband and not getting any feedback 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.

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
Select Scan Product Ctrl-R
or File Alt-F
Scan Product P
Wait until phone information shows in the lower right corner of the screen.
Set operating mode to local mode.
Start RF Control window:
Select Testing Alt-S
RF Controls R
Wait until the RF Controls window pops up
Set the synthesizer to the following mode:
Select Band GSM 900

The setup should now look like this:
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 ana­lyzer. 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).
