How to Repair Cellphone Not Charging, No Reponse, Charger Not Supported Problem Issue

There are few types of charging problem issues like Not Charging, No Charging Response and Charger Not Supported.
A problem issues with "Not Charging" shows on a display when a charger is being plug-in, this problem occurs when a required current or voltage is not enough to boost up and charge the mobile phones battery.
One reason of this problem is a faulty BSI Line, a BSI line is a Battery Size Indicator that tell the charging control circuit how's the batteries working status.


The battery has a BSI output indicator terminal that connected to its negatives terminal with desired value of resistor on it.

One other charging problem issues is the No charging response when a battery charger is being plug-in, it stays no response or nothing happens.
One reason of this is a faulty protection circuit section. this happens when there is no voltage reach to charging circuit indicators and controls. If the protection circuit breakdown this will result to "charging no response" situation. You need to check each components for short and open circuits. You may start from the fuse then to the coil and the diode.
Charger Not Supported problem is cause by a faulty BTEMP thermistor component, BTEMP stands for Battery Temperature, This is the one that monitors the battery temperature status during at charging status, if this one having a problem , it wont allow any charger to proceed to charging stage.
This all, is only a brief explanation of how charging problem issues occurs, while charging the mobile phones .
There are lots of ways on how to troubleshoot each and every kind of handsets. Hope at least, this one let help you understand how charging problem issues occurs, and by this you can gain ideas to move into a stage where you can practice how to troubleshoot this kind of issues.

How to Trace and Map Keypads Layout on Mobile Phone Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

There are few methods in tracing and mapping the keypad layout on a mobile phones keypads on printed circuit board. One of this quick and very easy method is by using an schematic diagram, if that certain mobile phones have available unto it. Schematic diagram is very useful guide in every aspects of hardware troubleshooting.

Now assuming that you already have knowledge how to use and read it, follow this simple steps below.
Browse to bottom of the pages where yo can locate and find like the picture below., it is the keypad circuit section. In that schematic layout you will notice that each corresponding key characters is being group into lines. This group of keypad switch lines is being marked with rows and columns.


trace each and every lines where those keypads switch symbols is being connected, once you been manage to trace it. configure and trace it on the printed circuit board by using an analog or digital multimeter, just set it the resistance value X1 and attach both probes to corresponding keypads groups in every rows and column

Practice this kind of method with an aide of schematic diagram, in this way if you're skills grows further, you can then trace any other mobile phones without any schematic diagram available at first hand.

How Do LED light bulbs works on Mobile Phone Circuit

An LED - light emitting diode is used to illuminate keypads keys and LCD screen displays on all mobile phones handsets. It is being controlled by a voltage or current draws on its terminal leds.
a picture below is an Schematic Diagram that tells us how does the LED circuit works on cellular phone whole circuitry.

On schematic diagram we notice that the LEDs is driven by an LED driver chip's, and an Switching Control circuit that also being packed in a chip. The LED driver is being used to stabilized the voltage and current and do take control on engaging ON and OFF status of an LEDs to light up or not.
It also drives the amount of brightness or dimming status of the LEDs by applying Pulse Width Modulation signal from the Switching control circuit.

The block diagram below interpreted a component and section or parts of an LED circuit to work during application process.
The Switching control circuit feeds and release a Pulse Width Modulation Signal (PWM) to switch and light up the LEDs light bulbs. A pulse width modulation signal is a type of digital frequency signal range up to 1khz to enable and implement to take control of LED brightness.
Once that certain signal is being received by the LED driver, the LED driver now will engage and release the voltage or current that being feeds up from the mobile phones battery supply voltage;
The output voltage release by the LED driver is the one that draws the LED light bulbs to light up.


LED drivers is a high frequency, synchronous boost converter with constant current output to drive up to 5 white LEDs. This device circuit is designed for maximum safety, it integrates overvoltage and short circuit protection when the output is being shorted to the ground. Meaning this chips circuitry will not easily breakdown for it is designed to protect when short circuit happens.
like for example, the two LED light bulbs commits short circuit to its terminal
In mobile phones application methods; the switching control circuit that release pulse switching signal is also being synchronized programmed by the the application processor (CPU) to engaged a full control on how and which proper situation that the LED will be switch to light up or not.
like for example the LED will only switch and light up, if the handset is being in used and remain off if the handset is not in used.
The above image is an example of the LED circuit, how those particular stages and components being mounted on a phones circuits. Note that the LED driver and switching control circuits is being packed into an Integrated Circuit or ICs.


To all beginners: A bunch of simplified STEP By STEP Procedures On Troubleshooting LED Problem issues on various mobile phones product will be Posted Here Later.. Just keep on visiting this blog more often.

How to: Mobile Phone Secret Codes Tips and Tricks, Tutorials and Procedures

NOKIA SYMBIANS

*#06# Serial Number/IMEI indicates

*#0000# SW version (e.g. V3.42.1, 16-10-03, NHL-10)

*#2820# Bluetooth (BT) device address

xx# Directory quick access (xx = storage location and afterwards lozenge e.g. 24 #)

On/Off key -short pressing for menu for switching between profiles

Menu key - Long pressing for "task manager" - switching between active programs (with "C" key programs can be terminated.)

Menu quick access - Over in the menu e.g. to point 3.1 arrive simply 31 enter (if the third symbol a file is opened is for these and then in it started the first Programm/Icon).

No Autostart - When switching the phone on up to the pin inquiry press the whole time the "ABC" key (pen) - this is to ignore the autoinitialization programs (and the MMC programs) - "safeboot".


12345 ... is according to be the standard Nokia nokia-securitycode.

0000 ... is according to be standard PIN2 at Vodafone (germany)

----------------------------------------

Caution - starting from here the codes are "dangerous"
*#7370925538#
*#Res0Wallet#
... is to delete the code around the "wallet"
Input like normal telephone number (not in wallet code inquiry windows).
NOTE! Afterwards the "wallet" is empty, can again be put on however with new code.

*#7780# - Reset to original settings
NOTE! Afterwards various "attitudes" are away - among other things these:
Points of entrance (Provider dependent points of entrance and attitudes)
Bluetooth attitudes
Favorite
Allocation of the two keys (beside Navi keys) in the main menue
Profiles are "neglected" (as with distribution) - still there however new bell tones, etc. are...
SMS/MMS/E Mail attitudes
Logos and spielstaende (allegedly) also deleted...
Programs, calendars and contacts, etc. not changed...

*#7370# - Soft format - resets all the telefone Memory (like Formatting a disk
NOTE! Battery should be full up to at least 75%, do not accomplish during the procedure under any circumstances ! The procedure takes some minutes (approx. 3-4)

Green, * 3 - Hard format: If the Mobile (only telephone memory) formats, puts back the attitudes (see * to # 7780 #) and implements a RESET.
NOTE! Battery should be full up to at least 75%, do not accomplish during the procedure under any circumstances ! The procedure takes some minutes (approx. 3-4)

Proceeding: Equipment switch off, keep "green key" (take off) at the same time pressed, "*" and to "3" key and switch the equipment on (the keys thereby keep further pressed)... to "Formatting" on the display appears...
Tip 1 : Do u know how to use the edit button (abc or pencil button)?
Heres how... in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy. pretty good for placing song names in ngages

Tip 2 : **** happens, on a smartphone, its inevitable u do something wrong, and this calls for a format of fone. to format the fone, press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone. NOTE : batt must b full, else if format is disrupted by low batt, consequences will b disatrous
I heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i tink.
for 6600 users, to format the fone, theres an alternative way. Press and hold <3>, <*>, and the buttons, then power on fone, keep holding on the 3 buttons, till u come to a format screen. tis method ONLY works on 6600, and need not enter the sec code. BUT sec code wun be reset to default 12345.



There are two kinds of formatting: hard formatting and soft formatting



SOFT formatting: This does not realy format your phone (c-drive). It restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc). This is just a normal reset!!

HOW? There are two ways to do a normal reset:

1) *#7780# (this seems to work only on S60 v6.1 and 7.0)

2) Go to Settings, General and scroll down to factorysettings (works on all S60 phones)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HARD formatting: This reformats completely the C-drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean but default files will be rewritten. This is a deep reset.

HOW? Again there are two ways:

1) *#7370#

2) When unable to startup your phone: press and hold the green (talk) key on the left + number 3 on the keypad + the * key and then turn the phone on. This trick works on every S60 v7.0 and it works fine on my 6630 too but without formatting screen...


Tip 3 : TO NGAGE USERS; Did u know u can install .sis files simply using the cable given? Juz plug it in, place the .sis file anywhere on e: (the mmc), not in any folders, root of e:, disconnect, then look for it in manager.

Tip 4: Save on battery and system memory being used by regulary checking the task manager which can be accessed by holding down the menu button!!

Tip 5: Type *#06# to display your IMEI serial number, very valuable for the unlocking your phone to other sim cards...

Tip 6: Save memory when installing apps, by installing over bluetooth. This can be done using the nokia phone suite and a bluetooth serial connection. Only works with .SIS files, so java still has to be sent to the phone, but will save space when using .SIS files.

Tip 7: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels

Tip 8: BlueJacking
First up, you need to know what Bluetooth is. There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate Bluetooth as one of their many features. PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over a range of about 10 metres. So, we've got past the boring part. Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines. For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their phone.

Tip 9: While you are viewing a picture in your phone's gallery, press one of these shortcut keys (definitely works on 6600, not sure about other symbians)
1 - turn image anticlockwise
3 - turn image clockwise
* - toggle on/off of full screen
5 - zoom in
0 - zoom out

Tip 10: Operator logos
Use a filemanager like FExplorer or SeleQ to add the folders: "c:/system/Apps/phone/oplogo". Add a .bmp picture to folder "oplogo" and restart your phone! The .bmp picture size needs to be: 97 x 25 pixels

Tip 11: Check if the recepients phone is on
Delivery reports
or
Type *0# your message in the message composer window space then write your message, the recipient will not see the star zero hash bit - just the message When they read it it will relay a message back to your fone showing the time they recieved it. (haven't yet tried it myself though)

A soft and Hard reset
A Soft-reset - the process of resetting all the settings of the phone to the factory default! No applications are deleted! A Hard-reset is like formatting a drive! It does format the memory. Everything that has been installed after the first use of the phone is deleted! It will recover the memory of the phone to the state you purchased it! It is done by inputing the following code: *#7370# NOTE: The battery must be full or the charger has to be connected to the phone so that it does not run out of power and make the phone unusable

Start up in Safe Mode so no 'auto start' apps will be running:
To make sure that no memory-resident programs start when you reboot your phone,
hold down the pencil key when you turn on the phone and hold it on untill you have to enter your PIN code.
(When you have trouble booting up the phone with the MMC in it because it got corrupted for some reason, this trick will
almost always let you boot up the phone so you can remove the latest installed app which might have caused the
problem or if your phone is "unrepairable" you can still back up your important data before you do a format.)

Hacks
Sanyo 4900 > 7200 Hack
The Sanyo 4900 and 7200 use almost identical hardware, if not exactly identical on the inside. Because of this, the firmware is interchangeable. This will even enable ReadyLink on the 4900. To do this you pretty much need to be a Sprint Store technician, as most TSRs will refuse to do the firmware swap.

Recall Info
Sprint is aware of a hardware issue affecting a significant number of Sanyo 5500/VM4500 units. These units have trouble placing outgoing calls, causing the phone to go into a redialing loop. In addition, some affected units may have trouble receiving incoming calls or text messages. Units suffering from this problem will pass the HP Test diagnostic used in Sprint Stores to diagnose problems usually associated with these symptoms.
Hardware revision 201 was released to solve these problems. If under the Phone Info menu you have a revision earlier than 201, and are suffering from these problems, take your phone to the nearest Sprint Store and request a replacement. It may also be helpful to print this page out and take it with you to the store, as not all Sprint employees and affiliate stores are fully informed in regards to this service bulletin.

How to Find Component Parts on PCB Board?

How to Find Component Parts on PCB Board?

A certain components parts is easy to find with an aide of schematic diagrams. In Nokia Phones finding it was been so easy for they provide a complete and accurate component data on their Schematic Diagrams. While other various mobile phone don't have. Some cellphone technicians find it hard to fix some of mobile phone products for they don't provide schematic diagrams to be available, but many experts and masters can do the job even without schematic diagrams. Experts can rely on their deep knowledge on electronics components and circuits, many of them where electronic engineers and also many of them where professionally skilled by experience and mastered for years. You can be one of them if you follow their instinct but before that they all started from scratch.We are all start from scratch.


Now, let's take up a very simple method on how to find certain electronic component's location where it is being mounted on a particular PCB Board layouts.
Here's an example of Nokia N70 schematic diagram, Download it here if you haven't a copy yet, and make sure you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer to be able to open it.
If you already have a copy of this schematic diagram, open it and scroll it down to the bottom page.
In the bottom page which is the last page you may found this Component Finder Page. see picture below:


On the right side you may find the table of components which is listed in codes like for example, Resistors starts with letter "R" then "mounting code" . next to it on the left is the "pattern codes" which is means the spot point which is scaled by letters and numbers on the PC Board,


On the right side of the page is the layout of all of components with respective codes mark on it. Each component mounted in horizontal and vertical positions.


In both sides on the PCB layout is being scaled by letters and numbers, this is were the pattern codes from the first picture above being produce by combining the letter and number to make the mapping spot point.
The spot point of where these letter and number meets across each other, is the exact location where that certain component is being mounted.


Now let's take a little bit exercise on how to use this methods..
Okay, assuming that we are looking for a certain components on a PCB board.
Let say that we are going to find the 2n2 valued capacitor on RF Section for that phone is having a problem of network signal.

now scroll up the page to RF Section which is on page 9 and find these two 2n2 (2.2nanofarad) valued capacitor see guide picture below; Just remember and get the Mounting Code for it is the code were going to use as a guide to to the component finder table of components.




Then after finding it scroll back to the Component Finder page Table of components, then find it on the lists of the components codes like "C7524 is on B9" and "C7573 is on A6"



the next thing again you have to do is to remember and get that code then proceed to the Component Layouts. and scale the spot point of "letter B and 9" then letter "A and 6" on the scaled on the opposite sides.See picture below


The last part is to scroll it up on the whole component layout on the upper page 10 or on your PC board then spot and mark that component where it is being mounted.


There you go you just found it! congratulation!
Practice it more often,so that you can be familiarize on each component or parts for that certain product. The more often you do it, the more chances you will mastered it. sooner,you can work it alone without even using the schematic diagram anymore.

How to Reball BGA Chips of a Mobile Phones Manually by Hand

Reballing Ball Grid Array (BGA) Chips in mobile phones manually by hand
Reballing BGA chips tends to need and have a good steady hand, since most cellphone technician applied it manually by hands. It also requires good practice and experimentation before proceeding to reball any chips in mobile phones, because there are chips in mobile phones that can be easily damaged if you are not so familiar of doing it as well. like the CPU's and the Application processor chips are very vulnerable and can be easily damaged when applying unrecommended heat on it. I advice that spending much time to practice it with non working PC board and chips is a good way to start. To put thing straight up, in real life there are technician that are good re-baller and some have poor skills on it. that is what I observe mostly when attending many forums on the Internet. The truth is by practicing doing it is the key to enhance re-balling chips skills.

Re-balling Chips Methods
. Prepare the proper Tools -You need to prepare also proper reballing kits and a cleaning kits for further cleaning the PC board.

. A good and controlled hot air temperature, You need to refer to manufacturers manual for proper temperature settings.

Reballing BGA chips manually by hand skill, this tutorial video courtesy of onadbballais





Some technician used IRDA or Infrared Reworks Station and other reballing kit available on the market today. Practice by doing it everyday I assure you can do it yourself within just a few days.

BATTERY-
A battery is used to provide power supply to the PCB circuits and components. There Are various types of Batteries in each particular mobile phone products, and varies to each sizes and specifications. Manufacturers coded each particular packaged according to sizes and where specified product to use. The standard battery Voltage Range is 3.7V and is made of rechargeable Lithium Ion.

battery.jpg


Battery Connectors

This the interface where the battery connects and supply the voltage to the cellphones main circuitry or PC Board. Old models used 4 pin which lead to four battery output sources such as +(positive) - (negative) BSI (battery status indicator) and Btemp (Battery Temperature)
The latest designs consists of only three pins, The + (positive) - (negative) and BSI (battery status indicator) the Btemp is diminished and still in cellphone circuitry included.

Familarization: Components and Parts on iPhone Mobile Phone Handsets

An apple iphone 3GS teardown and analysis is also a big help on overviewing what inside on it.

Apple “surprised” us early this month with the announcement of it iPhone 3G “s”. Whenever Apple releases a new device – everyone and their brother/sister has to get involved.
Dr. Wreck is no exception and has been working hard with the gentlemen/women over at ifixit to get the skinny on the new device. Without further ado, here we go!


Explosion - courtesy of ifixit

Those Apple Engineer’s really know how to pack a PCB. They’ve managed to fit almost everything onto the “top” of the main logic board. The 3Gs’ PCB makes the 3G’s PCB look sparse (the apostrophes were probably a little bit confusing there).

Let’s take a minute here to talk about the new Applications Processor Core. Apple has chosen to go from the ARM 11 Samsung S3C6400 to the ARM A8 Samsung S5PC100 with this device.​




iPhone 3Gs Block Diagram - In Progress

This is the single largest difference between the 3G and the 3Gs. Firstly the manufacturing process has been chopped from 90nm to 65nm. Pipeline depth has been boosted to 13 – stage from 8. More importantly the clock speed of this newer processor rolls in at 600MHz – opposed to the 412MHz core of the old – obsolete

3G. Samsung has also doubled the quantity of L1 cache from 16 to 32KB.
None of this even takes the new PowerVR graphics core into consideration. Apple is clearly thinking along the lines of a gaming device for this puppy. The SGX is fully programmable – like the graphics card on your PC or mac. Expect some sweet gaming action in the near future.
@ 200MHz the SGX can pop 7M triangles/second and render 250M pixels/sec. That’s roughly 7 times the performance of the old, “obsolete” MBX.
It’s kind of like comparing your old 486 to a Pentium.​


Let’s take a minute here to talk about the new Applications Processor Core. Apple has chosen to go from the ARM 11 Samsung S3C6400 to the ARM A8 Samsung S5PC100 with this device.​
