1. Introduction
1.1 Objective
The manual is not a general publication but only edited for experienced technicians. The
main purpose is to provide the basic foundation for the electrical & mechanical
maintenance.

1.2 General Safety notice

1) Only an experienced technician can use this guide to repair the product while powered on.
Any maintenance by other non-technicians will cause serious damage of the handset.
Neither short circuit nor counter-polarity connection is allowed for any electronic part in the
handset.
2) Be careful of ESD protection during maintenance to avoid the damage of electrostatic
sensitive components on the handset.
3) If disassembling the handset is necessary for repair, please comply with the mechanical
structure disassembling work instruction. Otherwise, disassembling can damaged the
handset.

1.3 Use Instruction

1) Avoid using handset in conditions following:
 Where there is any caustic liquid or gas
 Where there is any high-temperature or fire circumstance
 Where there is any flammable liquid or gas
2) Do not use handset while driving for your safety;
3) Please comply with corresponding rules in some special occasions (like in the confines
of an operating room or an airplane)
4) Accessory purchasing or changing should comply with model matching;
5) If cleaning the handset surface is needed, please use a cloth dipped in clean water. Do
not use soluble cleanser.
2. Technology summarize
2.1 Description of main board component map
2.2 MT6589 circuit system

Analog baseband function: AUDIO（including MIC, Receiver, Speaker）,Camera, Video,
Ambient light and Proximity sensor, Power management, RTC, Charge control, etc.
RF function: RF front-end module, Antenna, RF transceiver, GSM/WCDMA communication
system, etc.
2.3 Base band circuit
MT6589M baseband System Architecture as following:

Processing features:
◆ High-performance ARM CORTEX A7 1.2GHz application processor :
1） ARM architecture v7
2） 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache
3） 8-stage In-order pipeline with dynamic branch prediction
4） Supports the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, and Jazelle technology to enable direct
execution of Java byte-codes
3. Trouble Shooting
3.1 Fail to startup/power on
The following conditions may cause boot fail: battery low, battery connector is damaged or
bad welding, components bad weld/short-circuit or damaged
First, change a fully charged battery test, still startup fail, check battery connector ok or not,
if connector damaged change a new one;
Second, connect to DC power supply, if the boot process is no current, we should check
power key solder ok or not;
Third, if the boot current is very small and cannot maintain ,connect the power on test point
to GND, then check below voltage in sequence, VPROC_PMU，VCORE_PMU，VM_PMU，
VRF18_PMU，VIO18_PMU，VIO28_PMU，VEMC_3V3_PMU，VEMC_1V8_PMU ok not.
Fourth, if the current stay in 40mA, we should check the circuit around flash, when CPU
calling program from flash fail, the current will stay in 40mA, re-download the software or
change a new flash or CPU.

Check charging circuit related component, check below information in sequence:
First, checks whether boot normal use the battery, if not check battery connector solder ok
or not;
Second, check USB connector on board solder ok or not;
Third, check T1110 whether reverse, check C1321resistance is very big or not, check
B1110，B1111 solder ok or not;
Fourth, check U2 solder ok or not, re-hot U2 or change a new one.

3.3 Fail to display
The screen dose not shines or shows white:
First, use DC power supply to start-up, check the board whether power on normal, ensure
main board can power on normal
Second, check LCD module, change a new module, check whether can display normal,
Third, check L1090, D1510 solder ok or not
Fourth, use oscilloscope to test LCD_BACKLIGHT_EN, check it whether high, if not, check
R1210 resistance, U300solder ok or not, re-hot U300or check a new one.

3.4 Fail to call
When call with somebody, we cannot hear what he says or he cannot hear what we say:
This fail may cause by receiver or microphone fail, it can test in factory mode,
type“*#*#9375#*#*” enter factory mode, Transmitter/Receiver test, if ok, it may RF fail, if fail,
we need to make sure is receiver or microphone fail.
Call 112, if can hear voice, it may microphone problem, check microphone related
circuit ,check R801, R802, R808, R809 and T801，T802 solder ok or not, if all ok, change a
new microphone, also fail, check CPU, re-hot or change a new one.
Call 112, if cannot hear voice, it may receiver problem, change a new receiver, check R812,
R813 and C817，C818 ok or not, if ok, check CPU, re-hot or change a new one.
