3. Trouble Shooting 3.1 Fail to startup/power on The following conditions may cause boot fail: battery low, battery connector is damaged or bad welding, components bad weld/short-circuit or damaged First, change a fully charged battery test, still startup fail, check battery connector ok or not, if connector damaged change a new one;...
3.2 Fail to charge Check charging circuit related component, check below information in sequence: First, checks whether boot normal use the battery, if not check battery connector solder ok or not; Second, check USB connector on board solder ok or not; Third, check T1110 whether reverse, check C1321resistance is very big or not, check B1110,B1111 solder ok or not;...
3.3 Fail to display The screen dose not shines or shows white: First, use DC power supply to start-up, check the board whether power on normal, ensure main board can power on normal Second, check LCD module, change a new module, check whether can display normal, Third, check L1090, D1510 solder ok or not Fourth, use oscilloscope to test LCD_BACKLIGHT_EN, check it whether high, if not, check R1210 resistance, U300solder ok or not, re-hot U300or check a new one.
3.4 Fail to call When call with somebody, we cannot hear what he says or he cannot hear what we say: This fail may cause by receiver or microphone fail, it can test in factory mode, type“*#*#9375#*#*” enter factory mode, Transmitter/Receiver test, if ok, it may RF fail, if fail, we need to make sure is receiver or microphone fail.
3.5 Speaker no sound First, check speaker ok or not, change a new one; Second, check B1330、B1333、C1780、C1781、C1782, solder ok or not; Third, check U2, re-hot or change a new one. No sound Is speaker OK? Replace Speaker Are B1910, B1911 ADD B1910,B1911 NC or not? Check T1912,...
3.6 Earphone fail No sound in earphone Is earphone Replace connector OK? earphone Is J601 soldering Re-solder J601 well? Re-solder uncorrected Are All TVS right direction? Re-solder Related R, uncorrected R C C right? Hot or change U300...
3.7 Vibrator fail Motor doesn’t work Change a Supply 3.3V for motor, test motor can work or new Motor Check related R, C OK Change uncorrected or NOT, Check D1401 component reverses or not Hot U2 or Change a new one...
3.8 Side key fail Side key no function Re-solder or Is key switch soldering change new R1775, R1776 Solder 1K resistance R1777, NC or not? Check U2 Re-sold or change U2...
3.9 Failure to identify SIM card SIM is not identified Touch Pin is Clean SIM socket clean? SIM is damaged. Change a new Replace it SIM to try Change a new one. Is SIM socket good? Change U2 Check if VSIM1/ VSIM2 are OK? Check each signal Hot U2r change a...
3.10 Camera fail First, change a new camera module, check camera connector ok or not; Second, check AVDD, DOVDD, if fail check J1400 Third, use oscilloscope to test I2C, CAM_RST, CAM_MCLK, CAM_PCLK, MIPI_DATA, and MIPI_CLK. If signals abnormal check U300, re-hot or change a new one. Camera fail Is camera connector Re-solder or...
3.11 Failure to read T-flash card First, change another T flash card, check whether T flash card bad or not Second, check card connector solder ok or not, if fail, re-solder or change a new one Third, check TVS reserved or not, check VDD whether normal Fourth, test related signals, such as MCCK, MCCM0, MCDA0, MCDA1…MCDA3, if abnormal, check U300, re-hot or change a new one.
