First, carry out a thorough visual check of the module. Make sure that:
• there are no mechanical damages
• the solder joints are OK
Note: Before changing anything, ALL SUPPLY VOLTAGES AND THE SYSTEM CLOCK / SLEEP
CLOCK should be checked.
Baseband Troubleshooting
General testing
The phone has three different modes for testing and/or repairing the phone. The modes
can be selected with suitable resistors connected to BSI- and BTEMP- lines as illustrated
in the following table:
ModeBSI-resistorBTEMP resistorRemarks
Local mode0 - 1k0 - 1k
Test mode>1k0 - 1k
Normal mode68k47kRecommended for baseband
testing. Same as local mode, but
making a phone call is possible.
If the corresponding resistors are connected, the MCU software automatically enters into
the local or test mode when the supply voltage is connected to the phone.
The power can be switched on by:
1Pressing the power key.
2Connecting the local/test mode resistors to the bsi/btemp lines and connecting
the battery voltage to the phone.
3Connecting a charger.
4Phone’s internal functions (Real time clock alarm)
In the local and test mode, the baseband can be controlled through MBUS or FBUS (FBUS
is recommended) connections using Phoenix service software.
Troubleshooting
Note: Most of the baseband repair actions require removing the baseband shield. The shield must not
be removed unless separately authorized by the program.
Note: The phone’s ESN has to re-written to the UEM, if the UEM is replaced. This can be done only in
Central Service.
• VCTCXO enabled by VR3 -> RFClk 19.44 MHz running.
2Purx released
• Purx released by UEM, UEMINT goes high for 100 ms, SleepX goes high and
UEM starts feeding SleepClk (32 KHz) to UPP.
Note: The sleepclock starts running in the crystal circuitry (B200) immediately when the battery voltage is supplied.
3Software running
• Default value for Vcore is 1.5 volts when the software is running.
• Cbus (1.08MHz) clock starts running.
Phone does not start up normally or does not stay on
Note: In case of power up faults, it is not possible to force the phone on by disabling the watchdog.
Instead, measurements should be taken immediately when the power key is pressed or when the battery voltage is connected to the phone (local/test mode).
The easiest way to check if the software is running when the phone takes an abnormal
amount of current is to measure the cbusclk and Vcore.
The Dbus clock (programmable 9.72MHz) is not automatically visible in the test and local
modes.
1The phone communicates with the prommer via the production test pattern,
using the following signals:
• FBUSTX(serial data to phone)
• FBUSRX(serial data from phone)
• MBUS(serial clock for FBUSRX)
• VPP(External flashing voltage for speed up flashing)
The BSI line is also used when initializing flashing (battery connector).
2When the phone is powered (VBAT>3V), the MBUS and FBUSTX lines are pulled
up internally by the phone.
3The prommer sends a command to the UEM, using FBUSRX, to enter the Flash
mode. During the sending of this command, the prommer keeps the BSI line high
and MBUS is used as a serial clock.
4When the Flash mode command is acknowledged, UEM enters the Flash mode
and releases reset (PURX) to MCU.
5After reset is released, UPP checks if there is a request for the Bootstrap code
(that resides in the UPP ROM).
6The request for Bootstrap is the MBUS pulled down by the prommer (if the boot-
strap is not requested, the bootstrap code jumps to FLASH SW).
7If the Bootstrap code is requested, UPP enters the Flash mode and sets FbusTX to
'0' as an acknowledgement to the prommer. This is an indication that UPP can
run, at least, the fixed Bootstrap code – although it is not able to run the FLASH
code. UPP then sends an UPP-ID to the prommer via the FBUSTX line.
8After the prommer has received the UPP ID, it sends a corresponding Secondary
Boot Code to the phone via FBUSRX. The Secondary Boot Code, when run in UPP,
requests UPP to send information to the prommer about the flash type and other
HW-related parameters about the device to be flashed.
9Prommer then sends the Algorithm Code corresponding to the HW parameters,
and this algorithm, when run in UPP, takes over handling the MCUSW transfer to
Flash.
10 12 volts can be supplied to Vpp (by the prommer) to speed up flashing.
