1Introduction
The S25 is the first dualband handset (GSM-900 and GSM-1800) in the S-class.
The S2588 is a special version for the asian market with the same hardware but a different
Software.
The repairs for S25 and S2588 are identical unless otherwise noted.
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:

2.2.3Component 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 openend and the
connection to the external antenna socket is made. See drawing below.

4.4Repair Documentation
4.4.1Description of procedure:
4.4.1.1Diagnosis
The 18µH coil is used in the step up converter which is generating a
5.4 V supply voltage for the power amplifier out of the 2.8V battery
voltage.
If the coil is mechanically damaged (broken) it produces heavy
interference with the acoustical elements of the S25 resulting in a loud
humming noise in the earpiece.
A broken coil can easily be diagnosed by trying to move it with two
fingers. If it moves, the core is broken and the coil has to be
replaced.
4.4.1.2Repair by component change
Use hot air to remove defective coil.
Avoid excessive heat!
Watch surrounding components!!
Resolder new coil afterwards
4.4.1.3Repair by SW-Booting
Not possible!
4.4.1.4Test
Retest handset after repair by checking the audio quality with the echo
loop of the testprogram.
