4. Check the I2C have no PU
5. Check TP_RST_N is high
6. When touch the screen, TP_INT_N has no high-low change
SD card error
1. Please confirm when you insert SD card, SD_DET # will pull low
2. Confirm SD_EXT_LDO has 3V output(If not, check the SD_EN is high)
3. Has 3V output but turn off, check DATA0 ~ 3 / CMD / CLK is
disconnected
P-Sensor/Light Sensor error
1. Reassemble Rubber and retest
2. Check I2C is ok
3. Check VREG_L8_2P9 has Voltage
Camera error
1. Replace the Camera module and check module is normal
2. Open Camera, check FCAM_1V2,FCAM_AVDD_2V8 and
FCAM_DVDD_1V8 have power

Trouble Shooting Guide
无法开机
• 接上NB,打开装置管理员,确认是否有抓到device ;
• 量测 buck power是否起电( S1,S2,S3,S4 )
(1)buck power不起电 ,检查PMIC IC,以及周边零件制程;
(2) buck power起电 , 量测PS_hold信号,看是否上电并稳定高电平不掉;
• 若ps_hold上电,尝试烧录image,无法烧录则需检查eMCP是否有Mount
完整
• 若ps_hold不上电,按照开机时序,用万用表量测各路power rail对地阻
抗是否正常;
• 若接近0 ohm ,确认以上Power是否发生对地short或者是有零件打反;
Trouble Shooting Guide
黑屏—可开机
• 接上NB,打开装置管理员,确认有抓到device;
• 交换panel验证
• 若黑屏有背光,检查LCM mipi,reset信号;
• 若黑屏无背光; 确认PU8901极性正确;
• 确认V_LED电压是否正常, Boot 後> 5V;
• 确认PWM_OUT信号是否有输出;
• 确认LCD_BL_EN是否为high;
Trouble Shooting Guide
CAMERA异常
• 目检camere FPC;
• 交换camera module验证;
• 确认FCAM_DVDD_1V8, FCAM_AVDD_2V8,FCAM_1V2皆有电;

2/3/4G Quality Unhealthy
Assembly Analysis of the Main Antenna
A. 2/3/4G Bad Signal (LDS):

A A B

If the measured value (signal strength)


have a very greatly impact, Use a
voltmeter, measure each antenna at the A
& B, if turn on voltage, LDS will not cut
off ; If not turn on voltage, LDS will cut
off
A B (But the probability of this happening is
very low probability)
B. 2/3/4G Bad Signal(gasket):

B
A

If it is found bad call quality, you can check the sub board below the two gasket
(conductive foam), No. A gasket is less impact, If the power value is too large or
too small gasket is mostly caused by the No. B, Can gently press or change a new
gasket.
C. 2/3/4G Bad Signal (gasket):

B

B Location : If 2/3 / 4G have poor signal, after disassemble the motherboard can be
checked as illustrated conductive fabric, check all B locations conductive foam
have not connected.
D. 2/3/4G Bad Signal (RF Cable):

If found power values a great change, measured values varied widely, or only half
the normal, check the RF cable as shown, That should be a cable break or damage
caused by the assembly.
E. 2/3/4G Bad Signal (conductive fabric docile degree):

high

Low

If there are problems about the call quality, use a voltmeter to check the red mark
conductive cloth is not connected properly, if there is no complete connected
grounding, noise will come out, effect of low frequency RF value
F. 2/3/4G Bad Signal (4/4):

When the machine disassembly, you can check the SPK and antennas has no trace with top of
the spring, if not, it may be at risk of the contact, the impact of Power value.

A. WIFI & GPS Bad Signal (BL TOP Check):

B
B

B
A location : If GPS or WIFI bad signal, after removing the motherboard can check
the illustrated conductive foam , at A location, a large conductive foam if not
connected, the GPS measurements in the production line will have little impact
B location : When the phone ON, all conductive fabric has a conduction to the whole earth,
makes the phone function undisturbed.
B. WIFI & GPS Bad Signal (Panel Bottom check):

Need a good grounding

If WIFI value slightly affected, you can check whether there are red frame conductive foam
stickers good or flattened, if the above phenomenon, can be replaced with new foam (need a
good grounding to prevent noise generation).
C. WIFI & GPS Bad Signal (Shielding case):

Shielding case
If the GPS or WIFI measured value larger gap, you can check the motherboard front and back
of Shielding case there is no good soldering, this will make GPS & WIFI have a greater
impact on the measurement.
