Test points are described and listed in the A3 schematic diagrams. Troubleshooting diagrams In this section, Troubleshooting diagrams is provided for the most common problems of the Nokia 1100 NOTE : Since both D200 (UEM) and D400(UPP) are underfilled, they can not be replaced.
  • Page 6: Phone Is Dead

    RH-18/36/38 Company confidential CCS Technical Documentation Phone is dead This means that the phone do not draw any current at all when supply is connected and/ or powerkey is pressed. It is assumed that the voltage supplied is 3.6 VDC. The UEM will prevent any functional- ity what so ever at battery/supply levels below 2.9 VDC.
  • Page 7: Flash Programming Do Not Work

    Company confidential RH-18/36/38 CCS Technical Documentation Flash programming do not work The flash programming can only be done via the pads on the PWB (J396). In case of Flash failure in FLALI station, problem is most likely related to SMD problems.
  • Page 8: Power Does Not Stay On Or Phone Is Jammed

    RH-18/36/38 Company confidential CCS Technical Documentation Power does not stay on or phone is jammed If this kind of failure is presenting itself immediately after FLALI, it is most likely caused by ASICs missing contact with PWB. If for some reason the MCU does not service the watchdog register within the UEM, the operations watchdog will run out after approximately 32 seconds.
  • Page 9: Display Information : "Contact Service

    Company confidential RH-18/36/38 CCS Technical Documentation Display information : "Contact Service" This error can only happen at power up where several self-tests is run. If any of these test cases fails the display will show the message: "Contact Service". It's individual test cases so the below lineup of error hunting's has no chronological order.
  • Page 10: The Phone Do Not Register To The Network, Or The Phone Cannot Make A Call

    RH-18/36/38 Company confidential CCS Technical Documentation The phone do not register to the network, or the phone cannot make a call If the phone doesn't register to the network, the fault can be in either BB or RF. Only few signals can be tested since several signals is 'burried' in one or more of the inner layers of the PWB.

    Company confidential RH-18/36/38 CCS Technical Documentation SIM related faults Insert SIM card fault The hardware of the SIM interface from UEM (D200) to the SIM connector (X387) can be tested without a SIM card. When the power is switched on the phone first check for a 1,8V SIM card and then a 3V SIM card.
  • Page 12: Sim-Card Rejected

    RH-18/36/38 Company confidential CCS Technical Documentation SIM-Card rejected The error ”SIM card rejected” means that the ATR message received from SIM card is cor- rupted, e.g. data signal levels are wrong. The first data is always ATR and it is sent from card to phone.
