Fault-Diagnosis
Task s
Fault diagnosis of the power-supply circuitry is divided into the following
tasks:
â– Task 1: check inputs to SMPS
â– Task 2: check 3.3V supply
â– Task 3: check linear regulators (for 2.5V, 3V, 6V and 9V supplies)
â– Task 4: check power-up configuration
â– Task 5: check power-up options
â– Task 6: check provision of external power.
Types of Fault Which of the above tasks are applicable depends on the nature of the fault:
â– Radio fails to power up: The radio fails to power up immediately when
power is applied, or it fails to power up when power is applied and the
ON/OFF key is pressed. Carry out Task 1 to Task 3
â– Power-up option has failed: The radio powers up when the ON/OFF key is
pressed, but not for a power-up option for which it is configured.
Carry out Task 4 and Task 5.
â– External power at connector has failed: The external power required at
a particular connector is no longer present. Carry out Task 6.
