Card Level GSM Phone Parts

And Their Functions

Haven gone through the Big and Small Parts of Mobile Phones and their Functions, in this
lecture, we are going to learn about the Card Level GSM Phone Parts and their Functions.
These parts are the ones the average phone users will mostly interact with
during daily usage as they may never even know what is actually under the
cover aside the batteries and the card level GSM parts we are giving attention
to in this update!
This parts under consideration are very crucial as they serve as interface
between phones and their users. Let’s treat them one after the other.

GSM Phone Parts And Their Functions

Mouthpiece:
As one of the GSM Phone Parts, the mouthpiece is a tiny electronic component in
mobile phone that is also similar to what you would call a microphone. It is
responsible for making the receiver on the other end of the ongoing call to
hear you clearly. When this component or others that control it are affected,
others will hear you faintly or won’t be able to hear you at all even if you
scream with the whole of your strength, you would be wasting your energy.
Earpiece:
This component may be three or four times bigger than the former; it is
responsible for making it possible for you to hear your caller from the other
end. Just like the mouthpiece, the resistance value of the earpiece can
affected its output in terms of quality of sound amongst others. When the
earpiece is faulty, you won’t hear anything no matter how loud your caller
screams!
Ringers (Buzzers or Speakers):
As the name implies, these are the component GSM Phone Parts responsible for
your phone alerting you with the set ringtone whenever there is an incoming
call. It is bigger than the former two. When this component is faulty, you won’t
hear your phone ring.
Vibrator (Motor):
This is the component responsible for vibrations in a mobile phones. When this
component becomes faulty, there will be no vibrations, and the vibrator will
have to be changed or the controlling components associated with it. Though
this component hardly develops fault.

SIM Card Readers:

The SIM card readers are also known as the SIM tray or slot. These are the
component GSM phone parts that seats your SIM card properly allowing it to
interface with the card reader pins and the SIM surface. When any of the pins
are broken or damaged, their will be insert SIM problems and you will not be
able to have network nor make calls unless the SIM card reader is properly
replaced.

Memory Card Reader:

Just like the SIM card reader, the memory card reader also reads the memory
card data by interfacing with pins. When the memory card pins or other
components associated with it are damaged, there will be memory card
reading problem resulting in phone’s inability to detect memory card. This
problem can also be solved with proper troubleshooting.
Battery connector:
This hardware component comes in different shapes, sizes and designs; they
are the interface or connecting point between phone and battery. The battery
interface gets connected to battery connector or terminals on the phone to
supply current voltage required to power up the mobile phone. When the pins
or connecting unit are broken or damaged, there will be power problem.

Charging Ports:
Charging ports can be either pin or USB (universal serial bus) type. The “pin
mouth” as it is fondly called, has just the positive and the negative terminals
know as VBUS+ and GND-. On the other hand, the USB type can have
morethan five pins. Typically, it is made up of VBUS, DM, DP, N and GND.

Earphone Jack:
This is the port for insertion of removable external earphone. It is used for
listening to sound without disturbing others, and can help when your phones
regular earpiece or mouthpiece is faulty. When this jack is faulty, external
earphone won’t work and can be repaired also.

Camera:
This is the hardware component that captures graphic images during
photography. It comes in different sizes, and strength measured in pixels.
When it is damaged their will be blur camera issues or not working at all. This
problem could be caused by hard fall, bad or corrupt software flashing, water
damage et ceteral. It can also be fixed with good troubleshooting skill.

HDMI Port:
This port helps to establish a connection between smartphones and TV sets to
offer great user experience. When this port or its pins and associate
components are faulty, connection will be affected. It can also be fixed with
good troubleshooting.

LCD Screen And Touchpad:

The LCD screen short for liquid crystal display and the touchpad makes it
possible to have visualizations and be able to make imputes or commands
through the touchscreen as one would use a computer keyboard. When the
screen is damaged, there will be no good display or display at all.

The touchpad on the other hand can be affected by cracks, pressure et ceteral
thereby making it impossible to inputs data.

Network Cable:
The network cable or cord establishes the connection between one point of the
network antenna to the other. It helps to boost signal and network reception.
When the cord is damaged, there will be fluctuations or no network at all.
Replacing the cord or doing a jumper solves the problem.
