RM-272; RM-273 BB Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide Interface troubleshooting Camera failure Introduction to camera troubleshooting Bad conditions often cause bad pictures. Therefore, the camera operation has to be checked in constant conditions or by using a second, known-to-be-good Nokia device as reference. Image quality is hard to measure quantitatively, and the difference between a good and a bad picture can be small. Some training or experience may be needed to detect what is actually wrong.

For the local mode testing, use Phoenix service software. The main Rx troubleshooting measurement is RSSI measurement. This test measures the signal strength of the received signal. I and Q branches can be measured separately.
PAGE 102
RM-272; RM-273 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide ii In the RF Controls window: • Select band. • Set Active unit to “Rx” (Default ). • Set Operation mode to “Burst” (Default). • Set Rx/Tx channel (see table below). • Apply a frequency (see table below) to the RF-connector. Note: Remember to compensate for cable attenuation, specific for MJ-122. You will find the values in the Service tools section. Apply a signal to the RF-connector (remember to compensate for cable attenuation).

RM-272; RM-273 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide Checking antenna functionality GSM antenna In the GSM antenna, there is one feed and two GND contacts. Between GND1 and Feed, a DC short-circuit can be measured. GND2 has no DC connection to the other contacts. The antenna is functioning normally, if the contact pads hit the antenna C-clips on the PWB and the antenna is visually intact. BT antenna The BT antenna is (as the GSM antenna) placed on the flex foil on the antenna module.

RM-272; RM-273 RF Troubleshooting and Manual Tuning Guide RF tunings Introduction to RF tunings Important: Only perform RF tunings if: • one or more of the RF components have been replaced • flash memory chip is replaced or corrupted. RF calibration is always performed with the help of a product-specific module jig (MJ-122), never with an RF coupler. Using an RF coupler in the calibration phase will cause a complete mistuning of the RF part.

If a PA is changed or if the permanent memory (PMM) data is corrupted, PA detection has to be performed before Tx tunings. Steps 1. From the Operating mode drop-down menu, set mode to Local. 2. Choose Tuning→PA Detection . 3. Click Tune. 4.

Connect the signal generator to the phone, and set frequency and amplitude as instructed in the Rx Calibration with band EGSM900 (step 1-3) pop-up window. Important: The calibration uses a non-modulated CW signal. Increase the signal generator level by cable attenuation and module jig probe attenuation.

RM-272; RM-273 System module SIM The SIM interface is the electrical interface between the SIM card and the mobile phone engine. The data communication between the SIM card and the phone is asynchronous half duplex. Figure 32 SIM interface connections SIM Logic level shifting The SIM interface can support 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. SIM Power up/down The SIM power up/down sequence is generated in Retu. This means that Retu generates the reset switch (RST) signal to the SIM.
