18 Keyboard
18.1 How does the keyboard work
Fig. 18.1 below shows the schematic for the keyboard.
Fig. 18.1
The function of the keyboard is build of nine signals connected as a matrix with five rows and
four columns.
The rows are called KEYROW 0 – 4 and the columns KEYCOL 0 – 3.
Each crossing between a row and a column can be used as an identification of a key.
The rows are fed by a voltage directly from D600 giving the rows a voltage of 2.7V
DC
.
When pressing one of the keys of the keyboard turns one of the KEYROW 0 – 4 low.
By doing so the processor knows that a key is pressed and it should start the scanning of the
keyboard to identify which key is being pressed.
If the scanning cannot find an active column it means that the button being pressed is the No
key (Off), and ONSWAn is grounded.
18.2 How do you find the fault
Start the phone in the test program.
Go to MMI/Keyboard .
Press all keys to find which is faulty.
If one or more of the keys at the keyboard is faulty, go to section 18.3
If the volume adjustment does not work, go to section 18.4
