1 Introduction
The C/M/S35 product family consists of 5 different dualband handsets (GSM-900 and GSM-
1800), which can easily be distinguished from the second block of the partnumber printed on
the IMEI label. There also exist Asian variants of C/M/S35 named 3508 / 3518 / 3568
respectively. All information below also applies to the Asian variants unless otherwise noted.
Partnumber on IMEI label:
1) C35 / 3508: S30880-S4000-Xxxx
2) C35i / 3508i: S30880-S4050-Xxxx
Same as C35 / 3508 but with additional WAP and fax/data capabilities
3) M35 / 3518: S30880-S4200-Xxxx
4) M35i / 3518i: S30880-S4250-Xxxx
Same as M35 / 3518 but with additional WAP and fax/data capabilities
5) S35i / 3568i: S30880-S4100-Xxxx
This manual is intended to help you carry out repairs on level 2.5, meaning limited
component repairs. Failure highlights are documented and should be repaired in the local
workshops.
It must be noted that all repairs have to be carried out in an environment set up according to
the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices) regulations defined in international
standards.
If you have any questions regarding the repair procedures or spare parts do not hesitate to
contact our technical support team in Kamp-Lintfort, Germany:
Network Search when using the external antenna

No location update possible on external antenna (carkit)
2.2.2 Fault Symptom on GSM-Tester:
Output power problems on the external antenna
No location update possible
2.2.3 Component Information
The Antenna Connector is a mechanical switch operated by the RF plug of a carkit or, for testing
purposes, of an RF clip.
Normally the RF signal goes to and comes from the internal antenna. Whenever an RF plug is plugged
into the antenna connector the connection to the internal antenna is opened and the connection to the
external antenna socket is made. See drawing below.

Use a reference infrared port (eg. from a notebook) to check the IrDa
function. If the notebook recognizes the S35, the infrared function is
ok.

9.4.1 Description of procedure:
9.4.1.1 General Information
The purpose of the diode V210 is to prevent the feedback of the
battery voltage to the charging circuitry. That would make the
microprocessor detect a charging voltage which is not present in reality
causing
a) The charging symbol to appear on the display and/or
b) The battery to be drained constantly, even when the phone is
switched off.
The above circuit diagram extract shows the power supply IC including the charging circuitry.
The charging voltage coming from the bottom connector is called POWER and it is
connected to the charging circuitry a) and to the microporocessor as a signal called
EXT_POWER_UC. This signal is the charging voltage divided down by the two resistors
R227 and R229 and it is led to one of the microprocessor port pins. It indicates the presence
of the charger to the microprocessor triggering the display of the charging symbol.

If the diode V210 is defective it opens from pin one to pin 2, meaning it does not block the
battery voltage from going to the charging transistor V211 anymore. This FET has a
(unwanted) diode from pin 2,5,6 to pin 4 which opens and connects the battery voltage with
the POWER signal and therefore also with the EXT_POWER_UC signal. In this case the
charging symbol appears on the display. Sometimes, if the battery voltage is very low, the
charging symbol may not appear, but the constant current flow will discharge the battery
anyway, even when the phone is switched off.
This will of course significantly reduce the standby time and may even lead to a
deeply discharged battery!
9.4.1.2 Diagnosis
Check the status (reverse blocking) of the diode V210 with a
multimeter.
The purpose of the diplexer is the following:
A) Switching the Rx RF signal coming from the antenna to either the
GSM-900 or GSM-1800 receiver chain.
B) Switching of the Tx RF signal from either the GSM-900 or GSM-
1800 Tx output to the antenna.

The above circuit diagram extract shows the diplexer IC including the external circuitry. The
diplexer switching direction is controlled by the four control inputs VC1 (pin 2), VC2 (4), VC3
(8), VC4 (10).
The input VC2 is used to switch the Rx_GSM-900 direction. If the diplexer is defective then
the diplexer cannot switch to this direction anymore. As a result of this the phone loses about
25-30 dB when receiving GSM-900 signals.
Important:There are two different types of diplexer used for C/M/S35. Only the silver
type produced by Murata, labeled with a small M is affected by the problem
described above.
There is also another type produced by TDK. This type has a golden housing
and a small hole in the upper right corner. This type is not affected. The
different types have a different external circuitry and are not interchangeable!
10.4.1.2 Diagnosis
Check the status of the diplexer Z503 with a multimeter. Measure the
resistance of pin 4 against ground. It must be around 20k Ohms. If the
diplexer is defective the measured value will be significantly lower, e.g.
2k Ohms. This value however may differ.
Note:
To make the measurement easier, as seen in the circuit diagram
above, you can also use pin 6 of V506. This pin can be reached easier
than pin 4 of Z503.
External equipment which needs power via the I/O
connector does not work.

11.4.1.1 General Information
The purpose of the diode V279 is to prevent the feedback of external
connected equipment. An external voltage, connected to the I/O
connector, may damage the accumulator.
