Before you repair a mobile phone, ensure that the failure of the mobile phone is not caused by
environmental factors or incorrect functional settings, and it is recommended that you restore
the mobile phone to its default settings.
The U9202L mobile phone is a flagship product of Huawei in 2012. As a bar-type smartphone
integrating application processor (AP) and modem functions, the U9202L uses Qualcomm's
MSM8960 chip, two 1.7 GHz Krait cores, and two LPDDR2 interfaces to achieve
dual-channel communication, improving the system performance. The U9202L's hardware
structure can be divided into two parts: the AP + modem subsystem and RF part.
The MSM8960 chip processes the input and output of IMAGE, VIDEO, and
CONECTIVITY signals. It also provides keypad, LCD, microSD card, Bluetooth,
camera, and RF interfaces.
The WCD9310 chip is the audio codec that encodes and decodes audio.
The WCN3660 chip is a transceiving chip integrating Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and FM.
The WTR-1605L chip transmits and receives WCMDA and GSM RF signals, as well as
receiving and processing GPS signals.
The entire system consists of boards, the built-in battery, and other mechanical parts.
The boards incorporate the main PCBA (HL1U9202LM), microSD card board
(HL1U9202LT), proximity light board (HL1U9201LL), antenna board (HL1U9202LA),
capacitive keys board (HL1U9202LK), and other components, such as the LCD module,
1.3 MP HD/8 MP camera module, vibrator, microphone, speaker, and receiver.
Mechanical parts include the touchscreen lens, front cover, rear cover, sound chamber,
main antenna, GPS antenna, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna.
Figure 10-2 shows the U9202L's hardware block diagram. (Note that the U9202L does not
have an NFC.)
Figure 10-3 and Figure 10-4 show the main components on the top and bottom sides of the
U9202L's PCBA respectively.

By function, the main PCBA can be divided into four subsystems: baseband, RF, power, and
user interfaces. Table 10-1 table describes the subsystems' modules and units, as well as their
functions.

11.1 Keypad
Smartphone has few keys. The U9202L has six keys. The three keys on the panel are common
keys for mobile phones running android system, the other three are respectively the power key,
volume up key, and volume down key.
The U9202L's battery is removable. The mobile phone will be forcibly powered off after you
press the power key for 10 seconds. The function is applicable in cases such as software
upgrade.
