There are really and practically  tested solution for mobile phone damages not only that but also no side effect to your mobile phone after the doing this solution. If these solution are useful for you dont forget to comment here.


  1. Nokia 6210 navigator Phone heat
  • Firstly you want to check your phone with power supply. Connect phone to power supply and switch on. At this time phone is not heating you can change your battery. Because of damage your battery( memory effect) your phone may be heat. But when you connect phone to power supply and it heat again.

  • Now you can format or reset settings. you can use this codes for formating your phone. Default password is 12345

*#7370#
*#7780#

If your faults in same condition
  • Disassemble your phone very safely and clean PCB and other components properly.( specially you must use only proper tools for disassembeling and cleaning ,otherwise your phone will be dead). Please watch following video for understanding how you can disassemble your Nokia 6210 Navigator phone safly.

  • If your faults in same condition. Then you can check PCB Components( short circuit or open circuit) using analog or digital multimeter. If you can find short circuit then you can replace that components.But dont try to remove any IC yet. Faults in same condition.

  • Please remove the this IC ( Radio Fm discrete IC) . your problem will be solved 100%.


Special: If an only if your nokia 6210 heat when connect charger or handset then you want check system connector (chargrt pin) and charging line on your phone board Before removing IC..

2.Vodafone 225 keypad stuck , keypad not work , phone stuck


  • Firstly you can check your vodafone keypad embrane (Domestic). Because when damage or oxidation your phone keypad domestic above faults can be occurred. There fore clean domestic and check your phone. If you can see same faults again

  • You can remove  Charging pin and replace a new one.


  • If you can see again that faults after the removing charging pin then you can flash your vodafone.  Finally if you can see again unfortunately that faults can be come with CPU.  Try to CPU other wise you will be able to replace a new CPU.

3. Nokia 2700 c , 5130c 2730 Nokia logo then white screen or when  power on white screen hang done.

  • Change the battery or try to switch on using power supply. if problem is not solved
  • flash your phone correctly. (If  your phone has a short, remove that short). After the flashing (some times when you try to flash you will be unable to do it because of errors. then try to do next step) check again. If fault is same as previous

  • Then Remove Camera and try to switch on. Majority at that time your problem will be solved. But if the problem is same

  • Heat very carefully Rap IC.Because Majority this fault is occured because of damage Rap IC.

If you unable to solve your problem yet finally you have to remove Rap IC and Replace a new one. Remember that Rap IC is a Micro BGA therefore you want get a good experience for removing and replacing a like that IC.


Specially when you disassembeling your phone must use proper tools for doing it.Never try to remove main ICs without not a good understanding about that ICs and faults. This solutions will  help to solving above faults correctly.

Introduction about Mobile Phone IC's( Integrated Circuits )

Integrated Circuits


There are Complete notes about Main IC's  in mobile phones and How can you identify its. Not only that but also you can get a real idea about mobile phone damages or faults which are comes with IC. Specially there are three main type IC s in mobile phone. These are

  1. Pin IC
  2. Path IC
  3. MBGA ( Micro Ball Grid Array ) 

  • Pin IC

Integrated Circuits are complex circuits which have been etched onto tiny chips of semiconductor. When we think about Pin IC, The chip is packaged in a plastic holder with pins  which will fit the holes on stripboard and breadboards. Very fine wires inside the package link the chip to the pins.


How Can we numbering the Pins in IC

These pins are which is in Pin IC have been numbered for finding more 100% correctly details about its circuitit. Number 1 is which we can see when we checking anti-clockwise around the IC (chip) starting near the notch or dot.


You can mount and unmount or replace these IC s using SMD rework station. However when you replace like this IC you must mount all pin to the PCB and do not short circuit.Specially Latest mobile phones have not like this IC s. But when you training to mount and unmount these Ic s then you will be able to replace chinease phone display , Switches ... etc.


  • Path IC
When you check your mobile phone PCB , you will be unable to find these ICs quickly .But when you unmount these ICs you can easily identify thats. following images will be helpfull for undersanding about its  ecternal appearance.


Majority ,Power Amp and Antenna Switch are come as this type of IC.However you can mount and unmount easily using SMD Rework station. But unfortunately we can see only two or three ICs on common mobile phones.


MBGA( Micro Ball Grud Array)

The BGA is descended from the pin grid array (PGA), which is a package with one face covered (or partly covered) with pins in a grid pattern. These pins conduct electrical signals from the integrated circuit to the printed circuit board (PCB) on which it is placed. In a BGA, the pins are replaced by balls of solder stuck to the bottom of the package.


These solder spheres can be placed manually or with automated equipment. The solder spheres are held in place with a tacky flux until soldering occurs.The device is placed on a PCB with copper pads in a pattern that matches the solder balls. The assembly is then heated, either in a reflow oven or by an infrared heater, causing the solder balls to melt. Surface tension causes the molten solder to hold the package in alignment with the circuit board, at the correct separation distance, while the solder cools and solidifies.(wikipedia)



You can use Infared , Laser or manual SMD rework station for removing or mounting for BGA. When you have remove BGA IC firstly you want Clean PCB surface and Reballing IC and pcb surface.

After Reballing you can see IC and PCB as following



 Finally you can mount new or reballed IC using Laser, Infared or manual SMD Rework stations.


 Specially Before you Remove your BGA IC firstly try to solve damage soldering or heating. then you can remove that damage IC  and try to replace new one. When you replace that IC some times your phone will be short circuit , if it is short circuit never try to Switch on and try to Soldering otherwise replace again it. However you want get a good experience for doing that therefore you can practice with dead or damage phones. 

.................................................................................................................................................................

This note will help you to understand about Main IC type in mobile phones and about its important. Whatever Try to be a Good Technician. Good Luck 2 U.

Mobile Phone Common damages comes with Battery

When Damage Mobile phone Battery you will be able to see lot of faults in your phone. Then you must change your Battery for solve that faults but if you cant identify about that faults which are comes with Battery definitely you will try to repairing your phone using other methods. Because of that sometimes your phone will be dead.Therfore you must know about that faults and how can you solve its. Carefully read following notes step by step and identify about all damages which are comes with Battery.



What is Memory Effect

Memory Effect is that if battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before recharging , battery forgets that it has the capacity (cells) to furhter discharge all the way down. If you fully charge your mobile phone battery and then use only 75% of its capacity before the next recharge , eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra % capacity which has remained unused.

The battery will remain functional , but only at25% of its original capacity. When you do same thing step by step remain functional which is in your battery will not be worked and that cells will be dead.After that we can say that battery has been memory effected.

 What are the faults comes with Memory Effect
  • Power On failure
  • No Charging
  • Signal Drop
  • When you power on with sim card, Power off other wise ok
  • When signal come phone will power off
  • When make a call Battery empty or powe off
  • Battery life time will be reduced
  • Battery will charge quickly
  • Battery will heat
  • Insert sim card problem
  • unable to run some applilcation in your phone
  • Software problems
Etc...........


    Reason and solution for above faults (if its are Battery faults)
    Power On failure:
    When Battery Voltage less than 3.7V Phone will be power on failure. You must Recharge your Battery or replace a new battery. If you can connect your phone to power supply machine then you will be identify this faults easily.

    No Charging :
    When your Battery Voltage less than 1.9V( or some thimes it can be2.4V ). You must boost your battery or high charge( do it correctly like this , give 10 pulse for battery conectors using 6V. Warning. used correct voltage and 30 seconds for each pulse otherwise it will be damaged).
    Warning : Specially this damage is come with Hardware parts. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for that fault.


    Signal Drop :
    Generally Signal circuits want high voltage( around 4V ) for doing its job properly. But if your phone Battery is damaged or memory effect that circuits cant get this voltage continuously because of that you can see signal drop in your phone.
    When you replace a good battery for old one this faults will be solved.
    Warning : Specially this damage is come with Hardware parts. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for that fault.



    When you power on with sim card, Power off otherwise ok
    When signal come phone will power off
    When you Power on with sim card Signal circuit will worked and its want good voltage source. If your Battery is memory effect , it will be unable to give power for signal circuit and Power ic. Therefore Phone will be shut down. when you replace new battery for your phone it will be ok. Warning : Specially this damage is come with Hardware parts. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for that fault.

    When make a call Battery empty or powe off
    When make a call Signal circuit and RF units are working with full capacity and also that circuits want high volatge for working. If your mobile phone battery is memory effect it will be unable to supply that voltage Because of that your phone will be shut down.
    when you replace a good battery for old one that fault will be solved.
    Warning : Specially this damage is come with Hardware parts. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for that fault.

    Battery life time will be reduced
    Battery will charge quickly
    Battery will be heat
    Because of memory effect your mobile phone battery have damage cells therefore it hasnt full capacity so when you plug in charger it will be battery full quickly. Not only that but also it will be heat and life time will be reduced.

    When you change Battery you can solve that faults easily. Warning : Specially this damage is come with Hardware parts. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for these faults.

    Insert sim card problem
    Minority you can see insert sim because of BSI terminal not connect with PCB Battery pinIf your battery is a exploit one or damage one you must change it. But specially , Majority this fault is come with hardware damage.  

    unable to run some applilcation in your phone
    Software problems
    When you run any application in your phone it will take high voltage more than stand by time. If your battery is memory effect , it will be unable to supply that voltage therefore you will be unable to run that software or application in your phone.

    Please change the battery and try to do it again , if it is come with battery definitely it will be worked properly.

    Warning : Specially this damage is come with Software faults. firstly you can connnect to power supply and identify reason for

Type of Mobile Phone Batteries and about its works, damages and safety

There are complete notes about Mobile Phone Battery and Memory Effect.Because of memory effect your mobile phone will be damage as various type.There are all damages which you have seen because of damage your phone battery.


Mobile phone battery is a Rechargeable (cells) battery which has long life time and good efficiency. we can see these batteries as four types. they are NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion, Li-Polymer.

Kinds of mobile phone battery.

  • NiCd
  • NiMH
  • Li-Ion
  • Li-Polymer

NiCd and NiMH  Battery

These Batteries are used in old version mobile phones. Nowadays we cant see these batteries in latest mobile phones but these batteries are used for Laptoop or CDMA phones or some electronic machines. .However before few years these batteries were the most popular and cheapest Rechargable battery in the mobile phone industry.




Li-Ion or Li-Polymer

These Batteries are used in latest phones and electronics machines and also it have long life time and efficiency.When we think about mobile phone faults, some faults are comes with battery. Then we want to identify what are the faults comes with battery and how can we solve it. fistly we want to know about battery pin out and types of pin out


.
  • GND : Ground or negative Terminal
  • BAT : Battery Positive Terminal
  • BSI : Battery Site Indicator
  • BTemp : Battery Temparature.
GND or Negative Terminal
Ground or negative terminal is a refference point for measuring other voltage or returning point for electric current and alos it is same to negative battery terminal.

BAT +
VBat or Positive terminal is also known as Battery Positive terminal , BAT+ or +.

BSI
BSI is also known as Battery status Indicator or Battery System Indicator.There are some mobile phones, which has shorter BSI pin. It is because when the battery is being removed when the phone is turned on, the BSI circuit interrupts first, which tells the processor to shut down all communication to prevent damage.

The battery block contains BSI resistor for battery identification. The BSI fixed resistor value indicates the chemistry and default capacity of a battery. Temperature and capacity information is needed for charge control (charging current and the voltage).
It is connected to resistor to GND. The phone measures the resistance of the BSI - GND connectors, and it can determine which kind of battery is in the phone.
Examples: Nokia NiMH batteries:
  • BMC-2 640mAH 3.3 kOhm
  • BMC-3 900mAH 5.6 kOhm

Nokia Li-Ion batteries:
  • LB-2 650 mAH 68 kOhm
  • BLC-2 900 mAH 75 kOhm

Battery Temperature

B Temp is also known as Battery Temperature or NTC. The battery block contains NTC (and usually BSI) resistors for temperature measurement. Temperature and capacity information is needed for charge control. These resistors are connected to BSI and BTEMP pins of the battery connector.

The phone stops the charging, if the battery is starting to overheating.
In case of NTC thermistor, if the temperature increasing, the resistance decreasing. The temperature of the battery make the resistance beetween the GND and the BTemp change.

There are batteries which don't have BTemp connector. In this case, the phone has the temperature meter which is in the mobile phone, close to the battery.(via wikipedia)


How Mobile Phone Batteries are damage

  • Because of Charging, using high voltage or bad chargers
  • Droping the Batteries   often
  • Water Damage
  • Pluging charger before Battery Low
  • Plug out charger before Battery Full
  • Keep in magnatic field area
  • Because of phones Short ciricuit
  • Make a call during charging time
  • Because of high temperature

How keep your mobile phone battery in safe

  • Avoid dropping the cell phone often. They can cause a very heavy damage to the Battery.
  • Do not use High charger or bad charger
  • Charger plug in after Battery low
  • Charger plug out after Battery full
  • Keep away the phone or the Battery from anything hot.
  • Don’t put the phone or the Battery in water.
  • Do not apply too much of pressure on the Battery
  • Never attach or solder anything to the Battery.
  • Do not put Battery near the magnatic fields.
These note will be help for preventing damages which are comes with mobile phone Battery and also please check next page for Memory Effect and What are the damages of its and how can you prevent it.Try to be a clever technician.
