Generalized troubleshooting technique
1. Connect the phone to the power supply with a built-in ammeter and measure the current consumption (input voltage of the 4.2 V block). For a working phone “Nokia 5800” power consumption should not exceed 3 mA. Increased consumption, not exceeding 30.40 mA, may indicate the presence of oxides that create spurious electrical circuits, and higher consumption. about malfunctioning phone elements.
2. If the phone does not turn on. they check the operability of the power key, for which they connect the phone to the power supply and check if there is an increase in the current consumption up to 70. 100 mA when you press the power key. Please note that NOKIA phone batteries are equipped with a 3-pin connector, the location and pin assignment of which are shown in table 2.
Table 2. BL-5J Battery Pin Assignment
Battery Status Indicator
Battery output voltage
Contact BSI is used to indirectly determine the capacity of the battery and control its temperature. Structurally, the BSI pin is the midpoint of the resistive voltage divider connected between the GND and VBAT pins. Temperature monitoring is achieved by using a thermistor divider in one of the arms. In phone “Nokia 5800 XPressMusic” The BSI battery pin is directly connected to pin L11 of the N2200 power controller. Thus, without a BSI signal, the phone will not turn on, however, when you press the power key, there will still be a short-term increase in current consumption. In the process of repairing the phone, power should be supplied to it either from a working battery or from a power source simulating a BL-5J battery.
3. If the phone does not turn on and the power button is working, connect the switched off phone to the PC and press the power key. At the same time, for about 3 seconds, messages appear in the Windows task manager “Nokia USB Flashing Generic”
and “Nokia USB Flashing Parent”, which refers to the service software (software). If a message is displayed when connected to a computer “USB device not recognized”check the usability of the USB interface. If the computer software correctly identifies the phone, update its software. This procedure is described in detail in [1]. If the phone does not respond to pressing the power key, check the device’s power management circuit.
4. Using the Phoenix program, they test the phone, for which they run a self-test (“Selftests”) phone in “Local mode” and “Test mode”. The interpretation of the results of the self-test is shown in table 3.

4. Press the button “Start” and await the end of testing. Successful completion of the test is indicated by the inscription “Passed” in the column “Results” opposite the corresponding item in the list of tests, but about failures. “Failed”.
Examination of typical faults will be carried out in the form of step-by-step instructions in which the transition to each next step is carried out only in the absence of positive results at the previous one. If faulty elements are detected at any of the steps, they are replaced, after which the device’s operability is checked and, if the malfunction is not resolved, go to the next step.
To repair the phone will require its circuit and wiring diagrams. In some cases, instead of replacing the corresponding ICs, their dismantling with subsequent installation may be sufficient, so, the cause of the phone’s inoperability may be soldering defects.
Before starting repair operations, the following methods are used to visually inspect the telephone card (preferably under a microscope) for mechanical damage and missing / damaged elements, as well as traces of liquid exposure. If such defects are found, they should be eliminated. remove oxides, replace damaged elements, restore printed conductors.
Check Power Management Circuits
Symptom: the phone does not turn on, or certain functions do not work.
1. Measure the current consumed by the phone. In the off state, its value should not exceed 3 mA. If the current consumption is zero, check the battery connector (X2070), the L2202 filter (120 Ohm / 100 MHz) and the condition of the printed conductors connecting the battery to the N2200 power controller. If the current consumed in the off state exceeds 200 mA, the board is monitored for the presence of very hot components and short circuits.
2. Press the power key. If, when you press the power key, the current consumption does not change, check the health of its circuits. An additional sign of a malfunction of the power key is the reaction of the phone to the connection of the charger. short beep and indication on the display.
3. Check for voltage at the control points of the main board (see table 4). In the absence of one of the main voltages, at first, the serviceability of the external strapping elements of the corresponding circuit is checked, and then the corresponding converter is replaced.
