TB7100 Service Manual

October 2005

Task 2 —
Check Switch Circuit

If the power supply to the drains of the PAs and PA driver is not correct, the
switch circuit is suspect. Check the circuit as follows:

Measure the voltage at the point 1 on R350 shown in

Figure 14.4

(B1 band) or

Figure 14.5

(H5, H7 bands). The voltage should be:

If the voltage measured in

Step 1

is correct, go to

Step 3

. If it is not,

check for continuity between R350 and the power connector. Repair
any fault and conclude with

Step 8

Measure the voltage at R339 as shown in

Figure 14.4

(B1 band) or

Figure 14.5

(H5, H7 bands). The voltage should be:

If the voltage measured in

is correct, go to

. If it is not,

and check the 9 V power supply.

Measure the voltage at the point 2 on R350 shown in

Figure 14.4

(B1 band) or

Figure 14.5

(H5, H7 bands). The voltage should be:

If the voltage measured in

Step 5

is correct, go to

Step 7

. If it is not,

replace Q308 — see

Figure 14.4

(B1 band) or

Figure 14.5

(H5,

H7 bands) — and conclude with

Step 8

Remove the heat-transfer block from the main board. Replace Q311
(situated on the bottom-side of the main board next to the power
connector). Replace the heat-transfer block, and conclude with

Step 8

Repeat

Task 1

to confirm the removal of the fault, and go to

“Final

Tasks” on page 123

. If the repair failed or the fault could not be

found, replace the main-board assembly and go to

“Final Tasks” on

point 1 on R350: 13.8V DC

R339: 9V DC

point 2 on R350: < 5V DC
