Cellphones Major parts functions…April 7, 2008

We are going to discuss here some techniques and steps to repair dead condition in mobile phones

irrespectively of brands..

First of all let us now about the main functions to power on a mobile phone so you can consult our next

lesson…

Key Components and funtions:

· Battery

· Power Switch

· battery terminal

· Power IC

· Oscilator

· Frequency divider

· CPU

· Flash (ROM / EEPROM)

Battery:

A battery is used to provide power supply to our mother board unit so if this battery or on of its funtions fails

the whole mobile phone fails to power on. So battery must be in good condition to make a mobile phone

power on. Some times the third Pin used in battery which is called "BSI" is not working correctly but voltage

can be found in " + " and " - " terminals, in this situation mobile phone cannot turn on.

Mobile phone battery requires only two pins for charging, then why there is a third pin? The question   is   definitely   a   curiosity   generating  one.   The third pin called BSI pinperforms   very important functions and act as an interface between the Mobile phone and the Battery. When the   battery   is   removed,   without   switching   off   the  Mobile   phone,   the   BSI   circuit   is   first interrupted which convey the information to the processor to shut down all communications to prevent damage. To communicate with the BSI, the battery pack also has a BSI pin. BSI stands for Battery Status Indicator or Battery System Indicator.

The Mobile phone battery has Lithium Ion chemistry. The Li-ion battery has three components inside. These are Anode, Cathode and Electrolyte. The anode is made up of carbon and cathode is a metal oxide. The Anode is commonly made of Graphite. The metal oxide in the cathode may be Lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate or lithium manganese oxide. The electrolyte is lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent. It is a mixture of organic carbonates like ethylene 

carbonate or diethyl carbonate containing lithium ions. The sources of lithium ions are Anion salts   like   Lithium   hexa   fluorophosphates(   LiPF6),   Lithium   hexa   fluoro   arsenate monohydrate(LiAsF6),  Lithium perchlorate(LiClO4),  Lithium tetrafluoro borate(LiBF4),  Lithium triflate(LiCF3SO3) etc. Based on the anion salts used, the voltage, efficiency, life etc of lithium battery varies.

In some Mobile Phone, the battery power connector has three pins and the battery also has three pins. These pins are Positive, Negative and BSI. The BSI pin in the Mobile phone performs important functions. The battery pack has three pin outs. The pins located at the ends are + Bat and – Bat pins   to   charge   the  battery   from  the  adapter.   Thethird pin is   the shorter BSI pin usually present in the middle position. The battery block of the Mobile phone has a BSI resistor for identifying the battery pack placed in the phone.The BSI fixed resistor value indicates the capacity and chemistry of battery.  It  also tells  the phone  processor  about   the   temperature  and   charging   voltage  and  current   passing   to   the mobile   phone.   The   BSI   resistor   connected   to ground and   the phone measures theresistance between the BSI and Ground and tells the processor about the type of battery inserted into the phone.

Power Switch:

A power switch is used in a mobile phone to turn on and off mobile phones if it is faulty the whole unit cannot

power on so keep checking its terminals wether they are connected with the power IC of not if not then you

can make a jumpwer and connect it.

Battery terminal:

battery terminals connect battery to mobile phone component unit if its points are dry soldered of

unsoldered or bended then you can change and fix this problem which is alwways in the result of no power

on. so if battery terminals are working correctly you need to proceed further.

Power IC:

A power IC distributes current among all the components actually a power IC works as " voltage regulator"

and " power on funtion" so if a power on funtion is faulty the whole unit will not power on. but there are some

problems with ICs that we cannot check them wether they are working right or not rather we can only

assume that they are faulty if the other functions are correct.

Oscilator:

An oscilator makes low frequency which is called clock frequency. this frequency is used to run digital

components if this frequency is not available digital components fail to work and the result is power on

failure. the out put frequency is used in mobile phone’s CPU and Memory chips and UEM Ic if used.

Frequency divider:

Frequency dividing is a funtion which is used in mobile phones to divide clocke frequency to get accurate

frequency to run digital components so if divider is failed power on fault mat occur. this frequency dividing

funtion is built in radio ICs commonly like hagar IC or Mojoelner in Nokia mobile phones.

CPU

A CPU (central processing unit) is like a brain in mobile phones which controls the major parts of mobile

phones so its funtionality is very necessory in mobile phones while testing in boot process but its

functionality is assosiated with Memory chips used in mobile phone specially Flash chip.

Flash Chip ( EEPROM)

A flash chip holds booting information in it self it has instructions stored in itself for the CPU to control other

components so if flash chip or its software is damaged it mean the set do not power on. in case of damaged

software the phone should be treated in flashing process
