Mobile phone repair shops need a set of professional mobile phone repair tools to ensure efficient and accurate repair work. From basic disassembly tools to complex motherboard repair platforms, each tool plays a vital role in helping repair personnel complete repairs more quickly and ensure that the device is restored to like-new condition. If you are not sure which tools to choose, China Phonefix provides the most professional solutions to help you improve the quality and efficiency of repairs and easily cope with the repair needs of various brands and models.
I. Basic Opening/Disassembly Tools:
Electronic Magnetic Repair Tool Kit
A tool kit that includes a magnetic screwdriver and tweezers can effectively help repairers keep track of small parts and avoid losing them. Precision screwdrivers are basic tools for opening phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. Various devices use different types and sizes of screws, so a kit that includes a variety of screwdrivers is essential. It will not damage the screws or the phone itself. They come in a variety of sizes to fit different types of screws.
Precision tweezers are very important for handling extremely small parts and connectors. Using the right tweezers can increase work efficiency and reduce damage. Pointed tweezers are ideal for handling small parts such as screws, connectors, and chips during repairs.
Crowbars/pry bars and screen opening tools
Plastic pry bars are used to safely open the phone case and separate the screen from the body without causing scratches or cracks. These tools are used to safely separate the
phone screen and the case. Non-metallic pry bars can avoid scratches and damage to electronic devices.
Precision blade set: For scraping off old adhesive, cutting small strips of double-sided tape, and other delicate work that requires precise cutting.
Suction cup/pliers: Essential for lifting and removing the display, especially on devices with well-sealed screens like the iPhone. Suction cup pliers provide a firm grip and even pressure.
II. Handling Organization:
Anti-static tools are essential for mobile phone repairs. Anti-static wrist straps can effectively prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive electronic components, while anti-static mats (ESD safety mats) provide a safe working surface for repairs, which can effectively discharge static electricity and protect devices from static interference. In addition, magnetic mats are very convenient during disassembly and assembly, which can help organize and track small screws and components. It is best to set up separate label boxes or label areas on the mat to ensure that each part is not lost or mixed up.
PCB clamps: PCB clamps are an indispensable tool in the repair process, especially when soldering or performing delicate operations. They can firmly fix the mobile phone circuit board (PCB), effectively prevent it from sliding or shifting, reduce the difficulty of operation, avoid damage caused by shaking, and improve the accuracy and safety of repairs.
III. Cleaning and Adhesives:
Cleaning Brushes and PCB Cleaners: Use high-quality cleaning solutions such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and soft brushes to remove dust, dirt, flux residue, and corrosion from circuit boards and components.
Tape/Glue: Used to reattach screens, batteries, and back covers after replacement. Various types of adhesives (such as B7000 or T7000) are commonly used.
IV. Diagnosis and Testing:
Multimeter: An essential diagnostic tool for measuring voltage, current, and resistance to identify electrical problems, testing components such as batteries and charging ports, and checking for short circuits.
Battery Tester and Power Supply: Used to check the health and performance of mobile phone batteries and power phones without batteries during repairs. Regulated DC power supplies provide stable current.
USB Port Tester: Used to quickly detect whether the USB interface is functioning properly and troubleshoot charging or data transfer problems.
LCD Tester: Can be used to test the screen before and after installation to ensure that the screen display is fault-free and avoid rework.
V. Soldering and Micro-Soldering (for Advanced Repairs):
Soldering Irons and Soldering Stations: Temperature-controlled soldering stations with a variety of fine tips are essential for soldering and desoldering small components, connectors, and charging ports. Anti-static models are essential. For more complex repairs, such as soldering motherboards or replacing small components such as capacitors or resistors, a high-quality soldering station is essential. Soldering irons, solder flux, and related tools are essential for making circuit board and connector repairs. Choosing the right soldering tools can improve the reliability of repairs.
Hot Air Rework Station/Hot Air Gun: Used to melt adhesives, remove or install screens, glass backs, and batteries. For more advanced repairs, hot air rework stations provide precise temperature and airflow control and can be used to handle tiny surface mount components (SMDs) and integrated circuits (ICs).
Solder Wire/Paste and Flux: Essential consumables for soldering. Solder wire of different diameters (e.g., 0.5 mm for mobile phone repairs) and various types of flux (liquid or paste) are required.
Microscope (digital or trinocular) and magnifier: Given the extremely small size of mobile phone components, a microscope or high-power magnifier with built-in lighting is essential for detailed inspection, micro-soldering, and identifying subtle issues on the circuit board. A magnifier helps to inspect tiny components on the motherboard or perform delicate soldering work. When working with small components, a magnifier or microscope can help repairers identify tiny cracks and solder joints on the circuit board. Good magnification equipment can reduce errors and improve the quality of repairs.
BGA Ball Replanting Kit: Used to repair ball grid array (BGA) chips, which have solder balls on the bottom. The kit contains a stencil and solder balls for ball replanting. It ensures precise and uniform soldering and places components in the correct position during reflow soldering.
PCB Heating Platform: Provides controlled heating for soldering and desoldering components on the PCB.
Desoldering Wire/Braided Wire: Used to remove excess solder from PCBs.
Fume Extractor: Essential for exhausting harmful fumes generated during soldering.
VI. Specialized Tools and Software:
LCD Separator: If you often repair screens, this LCD screens separation machine can help you separate broken glass from LCDs without damaging the display.
Thermal Imaging Cameras: Used to detect thermal anomalies in phone components that may indicate issues such as short circuits.
Phone Programming Tools: Used to program and flash firmware, fix Face ID, and troubleshoot other device-specific issues (e.g., JCID V1S Plus).
Software/Diagnostic Tools: Use diagnostic software and tools to help identify software-related issues or assist with hardware testing.
SIM Ejector: A small tool used to eject the SIM card tray.
Ⅶ. Point of Sale and Repair Ticketing System
Point of Sale (POS) System: The Point of Sale (POS) system plays a vital role in the operation of a mobile phone repair shop, especially when the shop involves multiple links such as sales, repairs and customer management. The functions you mentioned, such as integrated repair work orders, inventory management, customer information and invoice generation, can effectively improve store efficiency, reduce human errors and improve customer satisfaction.
Main functions:
1. Barcode scanning
2. Inventory management
3. Reporting tools
4. Customer database integration
5. Repair work order integration
6. Customer service optimization
From basic disassembly tools to precision repair equipment, professional tools are indispensable for every aspect of mobile phone repair: plastic pry bars and suction cups ensure safe disassembly, magnetic pads store screws to prevent loss, diagnostic instruments accurately locate faults, soldering stations and microscopes overcome motherboard-level repairs, and there are also special tools and management systems for each brand. If you need to upgrade your equipment, Phonefix provides a full range of solutions from basic kits to high-end micro-soldering equipment, using professional tools to ensure the quality of repairs.
