General Repair Hints
This section provides general hints on repairs: 
Read the tutorials or user guide on www.Nokia.com > Choose your location > 
Support > Product Support. Select the appropriate mobile terminal model to 
become familiar with the Nokia product. 
y  Take adequate ESD precautions before starting repairs, e.g. work in an ESD 
Protected Area, and that an anti-static wrist strap is worn. 
y  Use gloves to avoid corrosion and fingerprints. 
y  Protect windows and displays with a film to avoid dust and scratches. 
y  Use a lint-free cloth when cleaning the LCD module (e.g. Micro-Fiber cloth). 
y  Use a soft cloth/ESD brush and Isopropanol when cleaning the pads. Do not 
use a glass fiber pencil as it will scratch the surface and will lead to corrosion. 
y  Reuse mechanical parts that are not soldered if they did not repair the failure 
(except shielding lids and bent parts). 
y  Make sure to replace the shielding lids with new ones when removing them, 
so that the high-frequency leakage does not affect the device. 
y  Always use original Nokia spare parts. 
y  Check the soldering joints of the parts causing problems (e.g. soldered 
connectors or switches) and resolder them if necessary (Level 2 only). 
y  Remove redundant soldering flux after repair. 
y  Meet the torque requirements when assembling the terminal (see also 
"Torques for transceiver assembly" document found on Nokia Online). 
y  Always use properly functioning test equipment to test to be sure if it is the 
mobile terminal and not faulty equipment causing the malfunction. 
y  A UIM card is required for all Go-No-Go tests. 
y  Make a note of the Item code causing the malfunction when making fault log 
entries. Also complete the appropriate part code from the assembly if 
needed. 
y  Note that some malfunctions could be software related and resolved by a 
software update. 
y  Refer to additional documents available on Nokia Online (NOL). 
Note: Check Nokia Online (NOL) for latest news and files on a regular basis.
