3: CAUTIONS
I. Flashing & Servicing must be undertaken by qualified personnel only.
II. Ensure all work is carried out at an anti-static workstation and that an anti-static wrist strap is worn.
III. Use only approved Tools & components as specified in the parts list.
IV. Ensure all components, modules, screws, and insulators are correctly re-fitted after servicing and
alignment
V. Ensure all cables and wires are repositioned correctly if Handset disassembled
VI. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the sensitive components of electronic products.
Therefore, Service Centre must adhere the precautions which mentioned above.

LCD blank screen and backlight broken：

Repair process: boot and test U901 output VLED_P whether it is high, the signal for
LCD backlighting lamp anode, LCD normal lit VLED_P is high, and check LCD welding is
good; inspection VBOOST whether there is voltage (VBAT on this signal is received), Check if
LCD_BL_EN is high.
 Circuit Analysis:
The display of ZB553KL used 5.0 FHD LCD. Its data interface include MIPIport and signal
controlled lines , The digital port of LCD is driven by BBIC MSM8937, and its power supplied by
VIO 2.8V of PMU IC, and its driven circuit of backlight is supplied by the four commonanode and
backlight cycles of U901.

Failure analysis is as follows:
After the replacement camera, a camera to eliminate ontology failure problem; Check the connector
J2401/J2402 welding problem again.
So camera function could not be opened:
1. Check the power supply voltage 'VDDCAMMOT', 'VDDCAMCORE', 'VDDCAMIO', is normal, such as
abnormal change - PMU - 2.
2. Review the control signal of cameras' CMMCLK ', 'REAR_CAM_ID0', 'CCIR_RET', voltage and the circuit
is normal.
All the examination without exception are to add welding/change the CPU.
So camera image display abnormal:
Check camera and transmission of data between the CPU signaling pathways conduction, whether there are
abnormal check pathway on the EMI welding device and the performance is normal, if there is no exception to
welding the CPU.

General analysis process is as follows:

1. Check if motor is negative resistance between 33 Ω, such as abnormal need to be replaced; Check the
motor of the welding is reliable.
2. Check whether the motor working voltage 'VPH PER' normal loaded into the small plate 'MOTOR DRV'
this point, the motor whether the cathode and the mainboard of ground conduction;
If the above are no obvious problems, check - PMU - 2, or to replace it.
