If we head towards repairing a
mobile device or smartphone, repairing tools are the basic essentials that
needs to be in hand. When selecting
mobile phone repairing tools
and equipment, it is important to select the best tools, even if it costs
little bit more because cheap or inferior tools and equipment may not be handy
or ergonomic when
repairing a mobile device or smart-phone.
At the same time, little
expensive but best quality tools and equipment will let you repair a mobile
phone easily and comfortably. 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.
There are N number of
tools for mobile phone repairing available in the market. It is important to
select the best ones. Below is list of all the professional tools and equipment
needed for mobile devices and smart-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.
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 model.
3. PCB Holder / PCB Stand
A
PCB 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 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 mustimeter can be analog or digital. In mobile phone
repairing, mostly a digital mustimeter is used to find faults, check track and
components. Always buy a good quality reliable ESD-Safe DigitalMustimeter for
mobile repairing works.
6. Antistatic 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 consist 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.
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 opener 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 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 analyse 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.
21. BGA Kit
A BGA Repair Kit is used
to Reball and repair ball-type ICs. BGA stands for Ball Grid Array.
22.
IRDA or Infrared Workstation
This machine is similar
to hot air blower. Only difference is that it gives heat through infrared. It
is very precise and gives heat only where it is needed thus preventing any
damage to nearby electronic components on a PCB.
23.
Ultrasonic Cleaner
Used to clean PCB of a
mobile phone and electronic components.
24.
Jumper Wire
Jumper
wire is
a thin laminated or coated copper wire used to jumper from one point to another
on the track of a mobile phone while repairing. Most people doing the work of
mobile repairing do jumper to solve many problems.
25. Solder Paste
This is solder in molted
semi-solid form. It looks like paste. Solder paste is mainly used for Reballing
of ICs.
26.
Paste Flux
This is flux in paste
form. Paste flux is used used while soldering and desoldering. Main purpose of
flux is to remove oxides and other impurities from the PCB Track and from leads
of electronic components for better soldering and electrical conductivity.
27.
Liquid Flux
It is used to clean PCB
track and legs or pins of electronic components while soldering. Liquid flux
improves quality of soldering. Alpha Cookson flux is world renowned for good
quality.
28.
Thinner or PCB Cleaner
Thinner or PCB cleaner
is used to clean the PCB of a mobile phone. The most common PCB cleaner used in
mobile phone repairing is IPA or Isopropyl Alcohol. It is important to buy only
good quality PCB cleaner as poor quality PCB cleaners can damage the board.
29.

tip of soldering iron while soldering.
33.
Desoldering Wire
Desoldering wire or
Desolder wire is used to remove excess solder from track of PCB. Goot is world
renowned manufacturer and supplier of Desoldering wire.
34.
Wrist Strap
It is worn in the wrist
of the person who is repairing a mobile phone. It is used for ESD Prevention
and helps to discharge or ground static charge thus preventing the PCB or
electronic components from any damage.
35.
Antistatic Hand Gloves
It is important to wear
ESD-Safe hand gloves while repairing a mobile phone to prevent PCB and
electronic components from static charge.
36.
Antistatic Apron
It is a dress worn by
people who repair mobile phones and in mobile phone manufacturing factories.
This also helps to discharge static electricity.
37.
