Chapter 4: Mobile Failure Analysis


Basically, SS4451 main failure cases including:

Power on problem (No power on, Auto-Power on/off, Phone totally dead, Restart
automatically)

Display failure (No display, LCD backlight malfunction, Segments missing, Black display,
and Contrast malfunction)

Signal problem (No signal, Weak signal, No signal intermittent)

Charging problem (No charging)

Call problem (Call drop, No incoming audio, No outgoing audio, Cannot receive call,
Cannot dial out, Bad voice quality, and Low receiving volume)

Other Function problem ( No ringing tone, No vibration, Vibrator abnormity, Clock fault,
Cannot read SIM /T-F card, Phone password locked, Cannot upgrade software, Show "high
temperature", FM Radio fault, Touch screen issue, Bluetooth issue, Camera issue, Wi-Fi
issue, etc.)

In the mobile circuit system, all the electrical connecting trace can be divided into three types,
such as power supply trace, controlling trace and signal trace. When analyzing the RF failure case,
for the active circuit we should first check the power supply, then control circuit followed by the
signal flow path to remove the failure step by step. When debugging the RF malfunction, we
should diagnose the RX part first before TX.

Figure 4.1 Power on failure repair process


1)

Battery cannot power on

Upgrade new software for the mobile phone; Check the battery is normal or not, if the
battery is broken or lower voltage, replace it; Check battery connector (J302) is normal or not,
if the connector is broken, missing, disconnect, re-solder or replace it; Check the power on key
is normal or not, if it is abnormal, replace it; completed all above steps, you still cannot solve this
issue, please follow the next steps.
2)

No power on Current

If the mobile phone cant powered on by battery, we can use the DC Power Supply to check the
mobile phones power on current. After connect mobile phone with DC Power Supply, press
power on key, then check the current value;For No current (0mA) issue, it means power supply
circuit problem, and we can follow the product circuit diagram to check this power supply circuit

step by step until find out the defective component.
3)

Small power on Current

For Small current issue, it means software or periphery circuit problem, we can try to upgrade the
new software or check all of the periphery circuit.
4)

Large power on Current

For large current issue, it means this mobile phone must be short circuit, the most probable cause
chipset are CPU (U201), Memory IC, RF IC, RF PA (GSM & WCDMA), ESD protection Diode,
etc.). We can attempt to touch these chipset, and feel the temp is normal or not. If one of the
chipsets temperatures is abnormal, replace it.

This issue often occurs in a mobile phone. You can enter into Factory Mode by pressing
Power key and volume - key. Go to Item testReceiverTouch Home key, you will
hear a beep sound if the receiver is good; Otherwise you need to test its resistance with digital
multi-meter. The resistance of Receiver should be 32ohm; If the resistance is much bigger than
the normally, it means the receiver is defective, so you can change it for a good one; From the
test item list, select another test item Loopback and test the MIC. Huff at MIC then there will be
an echo at receiver that shows the microphone is ok. Otherwise you must check the microphone
bias circuit, test bias voltage and output signal.

There are many reasons would cause download failure. First of all, you must make sure that the
download procedure is correct. You can follow the instruction in the chapter below. There are
many kinds of phenomenon when the problem occurs:

PC cant recognize the phone


Change for another download cable and try again. Otherwise, you need to check whether the
PINs of the system interface are broken. If everything is ok, please re-solder or replace the
corresponding I/O connector and baseband CPU.

Figure 4.17 Signal failure repair process


RF failure often occurs in calibration or capability test, the best diagnostic method is to use
wireless universal tester, spectrum analyzer and signal source matched with META tool to
test it. Corresponding components including: Antenna switch, Saw filters, matching circuit etc.
We need to check whether one of them is bad soldering or damaged. If power received is too low
maybe the RF circuit is cut off, you need to check saw filter, matching circuit, antenna switch, and
control signal etc. If the bit error is too high, it maybe because of the saw filter is not qualified.
