Our smartphones are quite delicate. A single slip or mishappening can lead to a great loss. As we are so addicted to this particular technology, it is hard to imagine our lives without it. So, if you are giving your phone for repair and want to know what kind of equipment will be used, then take a look at the list below. Remember, these are just a few out of many.

Heat Gun or Hair Dryer

The new smartphones aren’t like what they used to be before. Earlier there used to be really small screws that used to hold the entire phone together. However, the phones are kept together with an adhesive these days, which cannot be pried open without heating up the adhesive first. Now, to do that you need to make use of a heat gun or hair dryer. When the heat is applied, the adhesive starts softening up, making it much easier to separate the display when you pry it open. It also lessens the chance of something breaking. It is a highly effective way but requires precision.

Magnetic Mat

Now, once you start dissembling the phone, you will end up with a lot of small parts and loose screws. When working with a phone, you must never forget that each part holds a great value. This is why it is vital to keep all the parts well organized so that when you are putting the phone back together, you can do it with ease. You can keep the parts on any surface but there is a great probability that they can get lost. This is where magnetic mat comes as a blessing. It will not only stop the screws from rolling off the table but the mats has separator lines, that allows you to organize each part and keep a track of it.

Guitar Picks

This one might sound a little out of the place but believe us, it is vital phone repair equipment and is used quite regularly. It comes in handy when you are dealing with a stubborn display assembly that’s really glued down. You can use it to place between the areas that you’ve already pulled apart. The picks being there will ensure that the two pieces stays separated. It is also a fairly easy thing to obtain as all you need to do is visit any music store that sells them or simply order it online.

Magnifying Glass

Another equipment that might not make sense but it will when you will read further. It won’t come as a surprise that smartphone parts are very tiny. You must have a really good eye sight to distinguish between them and see what’s what. However, if this is not the case, a Magnifying Glass will come in handy. You can use it to clearly see the parts or where exactly the issue lies.

A Lamp

Having plenty of light is necessary but it is important that the light falls directly onto the phone’s part to get a clear view. A tube light or ceiling bulb might not prove effective. So you can use a lamp to see everything clearly and to maintain your focus.
