How to Select Mobile Phone Repairing Tools When selecting mobile phone repairing tools and equipment, it is important to select the best tools, even if it costs little more. Cheap or inexpensive tools and equipment may not be handy or comfortable (ergonomic) when repairing a mobile cell phone. On the other hand, little expensive but best quality tools and equipment will help you to repair a mobile phone easily and comfortable. I am personally trained in mobile cell phone repairing and my personal experience says that we must always select and buy the best tools available in the market or online. These good quality tools may cost a little more but in the long term you will be happy that you bought the best tools. List of Professional Mobile Phone Repairing Tools & Equipment There are hundreds of tools for mobile phone repairing available in the market. It is important to select the best brand. Below is list of all the professional tools and equipment needed for mobile cell phone repairing: 1. Soldering Iron A soldering iron is used to solder small components like capacitor, resistor, diode, transistor, regulator, speaker, microphone, display etc. A 50 watt soldering iron is good enough for most mobile phone repairing job. When buying a soldering iron, select the one that is easy to hold and does not burn you hand. The soldering iron must have option to choose and select different types and shapes of soldering tips or bits. These tips or bits must be replaceable. It must also be ESD-Safe (Antistatic) because most electronic components in a mobile phone are very sensitive and can get damaged due to static charge or static electricity. Goot and Weller are two world renowned brands who manufacture, sell and export world class soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments. 2. Soldering Station A soldering station has 2 units – a station and an iron. It has option to control temperature depending on the heat requirement of the soldering job being done. The soldering iron is attached with the soldering station. It is better and more convenient than traditional soldering iron. It makes soldering work much easier and faster. When buying a soldering station for mobile phone repairing one must always select an ESD-Safe (Antistatic) model. Goot, Weller and Soldron are some good and trusted world renowned brands who manufacture, sell and export world class soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments. 3. PCB Holder / PCB Stand A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) holder or PCB stand is used to hold different types of PCB of a mobile phone while soldering or repairing. It holds the PCB very strongly and doesn’t allows it to move thus helping in repairing. Again, it is important and wise to select a good quality PCB holder rather than a cheaper and inexpensive one. 4. Solder Wire Solder wire is used to solder electronic components, ICs or jumper. Composition of most solder wire is Tin / Lead in the ratio 60:40 or 63:37. Since the introduction of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) from electronics, more and more companies are using lead-free solder. Lead-free solder wire is available in many compositions but the most common composition is Tin / Silver / Copper in the Ratio 96.5% / 3.0% / 0.5. Solder wire is available in different diameters such 2.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.5mm, 0.2mm etc. For mobile phone repairing 0.5mm solder wire is best suitable. Alpha Cookson is a world renowned manufacturer and supplier of solder wire and other soldering material. 5. Multimeter A multimeter can be analog or digital. In mobile phone repairing, mostly a digital multimeter is used to find faults, check track and components. Always buy a good quality reliable ESD-Safe digital Multimeter for mobile repairing works. 6. Antistatic Mat (ESD Mat) An ESD Mat or Antistatic Mat is laid or placed on the table or workbench where mobile repairing is done. The mat is grounded using a grounding cord or normal grounding wire. This prevents damage from static electricity. 7. Microscope or Magnifier These used to see a magnified view of PCB or electronic components. These are available in different zoom options like 2X, 3X, 5X, 10X etc. Many microscopes can also be connected to a computer or a monitor. Because SMD components on a Mobile Phone PCB are very tine, we need a magnification equipment tool or equipment to see the PCB and Components enlarged. There are Tools and Equipment like Microscope, USB Microscope, Table Top Magnifying Lamp and Head Magnifier with LED Light. 8. Magnifying Lamp It is used to see the magnified view of the PCB of a mobile phone. Most magnifying lamps also have light. Magnifying lamps are available in different magnification such as 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 50x etc. 9. Hot Air Blower A hot air blower is also called SMD (Surface Mount Device) rework station and SMD repair system. It has control to regulate or manage temperature and flow of hot air. Always buy a good quality ESD-Safe hot air blower. 10. Mobile Phone Repairing Tool Kit A mobile repair electronic tool kits consists of most of the small tools need for most electronic repairing jobs. Most such tools consists of soldering iron, desoldering pump, solder wire, desoldering wick, precision screwdrivers, tweezers etc. So, there is no need to buy all these tools individually. 11. Precision Screwdriver Precision screwdriver is used to unscrew and remove and tighten screws while assembling and dissembling a mobile phone. Precision screwdrivers of sizes T4, T5, T6 and forehead are good and sufficient for most mobile repairing job. 12. Screwdriver Kit A screwdriver kit has several screwdrivers of different shapes and sizes to dissemble and assemble a mobile phone. Aven Tools is a world renowned manufacturer, exporter and supplier of all kinds of tools and tool kits. 13. Mobile Phone Opener These are used to open the housing or body of a mobile phone. Mobile phone openers are available in different shapes and are made of different material like tough plastic or metal. You must always use a non-metallic and ESD-Safe mobile phone openers to avoid any damage due to static electricity. 14. ESD-Safe Cleaning Brush These are used for cleaning the PCB of a mobile phone while repairing. It is important to buy only ESD-Safe cleaning brushes. 15. Tweezers Tweezers are needed to hold electronic components, ICs, jumper wire etc while soldering and Desoldering. Again I suggest to buy and use only an ESD-Safe tweezers. 16. DC Power Supply Regulated DC (Direct Current) power supply is used to supply DC current to a mobile phone. Most repair person used DC power supply to switch ON a mobile phone without battery. It can also be used as a battery booster to boost battery of a cell phone. It can also be used as a multimeter. 17. Battery Booster A battery booster is used to boost the power of battery of a mobile phone. 18. Battery Tester This device is used to test and analyze status or condition of battery of a mobile cell phone. 19. Test JIG Box This device is used to diagnose and find fault or problem in a mobile phone. It helps the mobile phone to work and function normally outside its case or housing. This helps to test and check voltage and other test points on the PCB. It simple words it helps a mobile phone to work without battery. 20. LCD Tester LCD Tester is used to check whether LCD screen of a mobile phone is faulty or not. Source: mobilecellrepairing
