Y330-U05 Maintenance Manual V1.0 9 Troubleshooting Common Problems

9 Troubleshooting Common Problems

Before you repair an Y330, restore it to its factory settings to ensure that the failure is not
caused by environmental factors or function settings. Before the restoration, remember to
back up importance data on the phone. The faulty PCBAs removed from Y330 phones at
common service centers must be kept clean and complete to ensure that advanced service
centers to repair them properly.

9.1 Power-On Failure


After you install the battery and press the power key, the phone fails to start and display
the standby screen.
Solution:
1. Check whether the problem is caused by the battery failure. Check whether the battery is
the original one provided with the phone. If not, use an original battery for fault location.
(1) Check whether the battery is deformed and properly fits in the battery compartment.
(2) Check whether the contacts on the battery are smudged or rusted. If yes, clean the
contacts.
(3) Use the multimeter to test the impedance of the battery BSI.
The normal impedance is 10 kohms.
If the value on the multimeter is much larger or smaller than 10 kohms and the voltage
between the battery's positive and negative terminals is 0 V, charge the battery for about
30 minutes. Install the charged battery into the phone and power on the phone. If the
phone fails to start, the phone fault is caused by the battery. Replace the faulty battery for
the customer if the phone is still in its warranty period.

(1) No current: Check whether the power key FPC is broken and whether the FPC BTB
connector is smudged or disconnected from the PCBA to exclude the PCBA fault. If
the preceding issues do not exist, replace the PCBA.
(2) Weak current (25–80 Ma): Forcibly upgrade the PCBA using a micro SD card or

2. Test the power off current. If the current exceeds 1 mA, the PCBA must be faulty.
3. Measure the power-on and standby currents. If the currents are excessive, the PCBA
must be faulty.
If the preceding conditions are not met, the battery must be faulty. Then, replace the
battery.

9.5 No Ringtone
Fault symptom: The speaker has no sound output.
Solution: Replace the PCBA if:
1. Call to see if the receiver has the sound input. If there is no sound, the PCBA must be
faulty.
2. Insert the headset and FM to see if the headset has the sound input. If there is no sound,
the PCBA must be faulty.
If the preceding conditions are not met, the speaker must be faulty. Then, replace the
speaker.

1. Call and enable the loudspeaker. Check whether your voice can be heard. If there is no
voice, the PCBA must be faulty.
2. Insert the headset and call. Check whether your voice can be heard. If there is no voice,
the PCBA must be faulty.
If the preceding conditions are not met, the receiver must be faulty. Then, replace the
receiver.

9.7 Barely Audible or No Voice Going Out


Fault symptom: The call can be normally made or answered, but your voice is barely
audible or cannot be heard.
Solution: Replace the PCBA if:
1. Install the headset and call. Check whether your voice can be heard clearly. If your voice
is barely audible or cannot be heard, the PCBA must be faulty.
2. If the preceding conditions are not met, the microphone must be faulty. Then, replace the
microphone.

9.8 Weak or No Signal


Fault symptom: When the network is normal, the phone has weak or no signals.
Solution:
1. Press the contact of the main antenna on the rear cover. If the signal is restored, the
antenna must have poor contact. Then, replace the contact spring.
2. If the signal is not restored, use a normal rear cover for verification. If the signal is
restored, the main antenna must be faulty. Then, replace the main antenna. If the signal is
not restored, the PCBA must be faulty. Then, replace the PCBA.
3. Download the official version. If the signal is still not restored, the PCBA must be faulty.
Then, replace the PCBA.

9.9 Card Detection Failure


Fault symptom: After the SIM card is installed, no network or signal is found and the
call cannot be made or answered.
Solution:
1. Insert the SIM card into another phone, and check whether the SIM card can be detected.
If the SIM card cannot be detected, the SIM card must have been improperly cut.
2. Check whether the metal spring of the SIM card holder is clean. If it is dirty, clean the
card holder.
3. Check whether the SIM card holder is deformed. If it is deformed, replace the card
holder.
4. Download the official version. If the signal is still not restored, the PCBA must be faulty.

Fault symptom: The photo app cannot open or there is no image preview when using the
front or rear camera. The photographing or videoing function is unavailable.
Solution:
If the photo app cannot open, try other approaches such as an MMI test.
Install the cameras on another phone. If the faults persist, replace the cameras. If the cameras
function properly, the PCBA must be faulty. Then, replace the PCBA.

9.11 Touch Panel Failure


Fault symptom: After the phone is powered on, there is no response when you flick
across the touch panel. The fault persists after you restart the phone by reinstalling the
battery.
Solution:
1. Disassembly the phone. Buckle the TP BTB connector. If the fault is rectified, the
connector had been poorly connected.
2. Upgrade the phone software or restore the factory settings. If the fault persists, the phone
hardware must be faulty.
3. Install the touch panel on another phone. If the faults persist, replace the touch panel. If
the touch panel functions properly, the PCBA must be faulty. Then, replace the PCBA.
