Old phones
had ICs more than latest phones. However when you get complete idea about that
ICs then you will be able to find solution for damages in your phone properly.
1 -Power Amp
This is a
very important IC for Transmiting signal (Tx) in your phone. This IC is work as
a Tx amplifier and it get high voltage directly from the battery. When it is
damage we can see following faults.
Signal Drop
No Network
or Access
Battery low
quickly
Cant make a
call
Power on
failure
Phone will
heat
2 -Antenna Switch
Antenna
switch is help to filtering frequency Bands as 900Mhz , 1800Mhz and connect Rx
,Tx( Receiver and Transmitter). Therefore when damage this IC we can see faults
as following.
Signal Drop
No Network
found
Some
Frequency band are not worked properly
3 -RF Processor ( Hagar IC)
RF( Radio
Frequency ) Processor is a main IC in your phone PCB. This IC is used for
processing Rx and Tx signal ( for Modulating and Demodulating). sometimes it
make a low frequency clock signal is used to start CPU functions. Therefore
when damage this IC we can see faults as following.
Power on
failure
Signal drop
No network
Caller drop
Rx or Tx or
both are not work properly
Battery
empty quickly and phone will heat
4 -Power IC
Power IC
distribute current to all the components and IC in PCB. we can think that, it
is work as voltage regulator therefore if it is worked not properly phone will
not be power on. specially we can see some times some applications are not
worked because of Power IC is damage.(when power ic not distribute current for
circuits that circuits are not worked).
Power on
failure
Battery
empty quickly
Phone will
heat
Insert Sim
No Charging
Some
applications are not worked properly
Auto Restart
5 -CPU (Central Process Unit)
Central
Process Unit is the brain in your mobile phone and controller all commands
which we have given. Specially this IC check flash IC before booting mobile
phone after that it will give command to Power IC. When it damages we can see
following faults.
Power on
failure
Auto Restart
Commant not
accepted
KeyPad not
working
Battery
empty
Phone will
be heat
Phone will
stuck
6 -Charging IC
This IC is
not a common IC among latest phone. However it is used for controlling
charging.when it is damage we can see charging faults like these No charging ,
Not Charging , Auto charging or Charger not support( Bad contact charger).
Nowadays Power IC ( UEM) working as a charging controll IC.
7 -Flash IC ( ROM or EEPROM)
This IC
holds flash or booting information(program). When this IC damage we can see
software problems in your phone as follwoings.
Power on
failure
Booting
faults.( only booting screen)
Phone will
stuck
Battery
empty quickly
Some
applications are not worked( camera ,Mp3,Video Bluetooth etc
Phone work
as a unconditional
8 -VCO(Voltage Controll
Oscillator)
VCO is the
RF signal generator. It makes clock frequency which is used to run digital
components. When this IC is damaged digital components fail to work and the
result is power on failure.
Power on
failure
Signal
faults
9 -SIM IC
This IC is
used for controlling SIM card data. when it is damage you can see following
faults. This is a crystal IC because of that when fallen down your phon like
this IC will be damage easily. Therefore we can say following faults are common
faults in nowadays.
Insert Sim
unablet to
power on with sim card
Sim not
accepted.
10 -Key Pad IC
This IC is
used for Controlling Key pad circuit.We can see this IC as crystal and normal
type.because of that when fallen down your phon like this IC will be damage
easily. Therefore we can say following faults are common faults in nowadays.
Key pad not
work as a order
Key pad
stuck
When power
on one key is dialing continuously
When press a
key phone will shut down or restart
Key pad work
as a unconditional
11 -LCD Light control IC
This IC is
used for controlling keypad and LCD lights. We can see this IC as crystal and
normal type. when this is damaged we can see following faults.
Key pad
lights not work
LCD lights
not work
White
Display
Display not
work
