The purpose of this document is to indicate the electrical level repair actions associated with the different
failure symptoms.
For symptoms that have multiple repair actions, the repair actions are listed in order of their probability of
creating a successful repair. The first action has the highest probability, and subsequent actions have lower
probabilities. The intention is for the repair technician to implement the first repair action and then retest the
phone. If the phone continues to fail the same test, then the technician should continue to the second repair
action. If the phone continues to fail the same test after all of the repair actions are exhausted, then the
phone will be considered not reparable at this level.
This document should be used only after the actions from the Mechanical Trouble Shooting Guide have
been exhausted for the specific symptom.
Voltage, current, and resistance information is provided for some symptoms to enable faster repairs.
Perform current measurements using a dummy battery and power supply with digital current display. The
phone should be fully assembled. Perform voltage and resistance measurements with a multimeter.
Purchasing this equipment and performing these measurements is optional but recommended.
Hangs at gray display. Will not start
flashing • B300
Hangs at gray display. Will start
flashing, but fails after some percentage • No Repair Action
Some current draw when pressing power
key, but current returns to 0 when power
key is released
Powers on automatically when battery is
installed
Powers On BUT will not power off
Will not power on AND will not flash
Powers off at random and hangs at gray
display
Other symptoms
Phone powers on instead of starting
flash • N602, V604, N800
Other symptoms
Charging from power outlet
Charging from computer via USB
Measure V807 from pin 1 to pin 3 with
positive lead on pin 1
VDC should equal 0.20 to 0.23.
All three sections are dark: LCD, Upper
Keys, And Lower Keys
Note: The LCD displays text, but there
Repair Action
• Replace V803 or L801 if out of
range. Also replace V804 before
powering the phone on.
• V808
is no light.
Measure V803 with positive lead on
Anode. VDC should equal 0.16 to 0.18.
Measure resistance across L801.
Resistance should be 1.0 to 2.0 Ohms.
Only two sections are dark: LCD and
Upper Keys
Only one section is dark: Upper Keys
• Replace X2490 if damaged
• Replace X2590 if damaged
• Replace X2590 if damaged
• V500
Only one section is dark: Lower Keys
• Replace X400 if damaged
• V808
2.9 Upper (rocker)
Keypad Keys
Center Key Only fails. Measure V400
resistance from pins 1 or 2 to pin 3.
Up, Down, Left, or Right fail.
Measure V401 resistance from pins 1 or
• If pins 1 or 2 are shorted to 3,
replace V400
• If pins 1 or 2 are shorted to 3,
replace V401
2 to pin 3. Pin 1 should be shorted to
pin2, but neither should be shorted to pin
3.
Other upper keypad failures
• Replace X2490 if damaged
• Z400
2.10 Lower (main) Keypad Keys
• Replace X400 if damaged
• Replace X900, X901 if damaged
• Z400
2.11 Volume Up
Key
Measure V400 resistance from pins 1 or
2 to pin 3. Pin 1 should be shorted to
pin2, but neither should be shorted to pin
