All rights reservedA-1156.3.1 Is capacitor C7579 in WCDMA PA (N7503) bias line in place?• Check that the component is in place and solder joints are ok6.3.2 Are capacitors in Vinku REG1 and REG2 lines in place?C7554, C7555 and C7547• Check that components are in place and solder joints are ok6.3.3 Are capacitors in WCDMA PA power supply lines in place?C7569 and C7583• Check that components are in place and solder joints are ok6.3.4 Are TX-IQ signals ok?• These current mode signals are not possible to measure, but are tested with self-tests. So if thereis no fail in section 2.3. “ST_CDSP_TX_IQ_TEST ” these signals should be ok. Otherwise Vinku (N7501)or RAP3G (D2800) is faulty. Notice that it is not possible to replace RAP3G ASIC.6.3.5 Is TX VCO signal level in the T7503 output high enough?• WCDMA transmitter has to be active before TX VCO’s output level can be measured. Procedure isexplained in section “Transmitter troubleshooting”.• Measurements can be done with a spectrum analyser and an RF probe. Spectrum analyser centrefrequency should be set according the used TX channel (see section “Frequency mappings”). RBWand VBW = 1 MHz, Span ≤ 200 kHz.• Check the level of the VCO frequency in T7503 outputs. The level should be about -30…-35 dBm inboth output lines. If the signal level is correct in the input (about -25 dBm) but output level is notas expected then replace T7503. VCO shield has to be removed before measurement. Remember tosolder the shield back after the phone repairing.6.3.5.1 TX VCO G7502 output level high enough?• WCDMA transmitter has to be active before TX VCO’s output frequency and output level can bemeasured. Procedure is explained in section “Transmitter troubleshooting”.• Measurements can be done with a spectrum analyser and an RF probe. Spectrum analyser centrefrequency should be set according the used TX channel (see section “Frequency mappings”). RBWand VBW = 1 MHz, Span ≤ 200 kHz.• Connect the RF probe to the T7503 input. VCO shield has to be removed before measurement.Remember to solder the shield back after the phone repairing.• Check if the frequency of the TX VCO is as expected. If the VCO signal is not found try to use widerspan setting. The output level of the VCO should be about -25 dBm.6.3.5.1.1 Replace TX VCO G7502
