I888, Standard Electrical Repairs 1 Conditions 1.1 Component classifications. After each component, which fault can be verified by the troubel-shooting guides in this folder, is the components classification written. The components are divided in four classes, A,B,C and D. The classes are seperated depending on how much of the phone´s prestanda that is affected by changing the component.

VDSPC: Voltage to DSP (Digital Signal Processor) (2.5V). VLCD: Negative voltage to the display that controlls the contrast (-2.7V). VDLCD: Feed voltage to the display.
I888, Standard Electrical Repairs 2 No serv or can´t place call. Find out if the fault is related to Rx(reciever) or Tx(transmitter). Connect the phone (with signaling program) to a GSM test instrument and try to get serv at -68.5 dBm on the input signal. If the phone gets serv proceed to section 2.2. If the phone doesn´t get serv, there is probably a fault in the LO part or too big losses in the signal path.
