For most start-up phone repair shops, these are the most common repairs they do for their customers. 70%-80% of people come to third party repair shops because of a cracked screen which as a shop owner, you need to get ready for it.

Equipment for cracked screen repair:
1.    NANCH 22-in-1 magnetic screwdriver set (Multi-function Screwdriver for iphone ipad Opening Repair Tools, at least including Pentalobe screwdriver, Torx 2-6 screwdriver, PH0, PH00, PH000 and small flat head screwdriver).
2.    A bunch of separation tools, such as triangle plastic separation tool (or guitar picks) used for separating the frame, screen, front or back housing.
3.    Triangular Spudgers: plastic spudger & metal spudger, the plastic one can be used to disconnect connectors, the metal one can be used for some separation works. 
4.    Sharp thin metal pry tool (also known as prying open tool) for separation purposes.
5.    Suction cup: dragging out the iPhone screen from the rest of the phone.
6.    Heat gun: Most of the parts in a phone are glued by adhesive, some of the adhesive are really sticky. A good heat gun will definitely make your life easier.
7.    Thermometer: the LCD screen/OLED is quite an expensive part, and improper heat will cause irreversible damage to the screen itself, so a thermometer with laser target could save you some potential damage (and it’s quite cheap, why not have one).
8.    A pair of heat resistant glove: Protect yourself from burn when grabbing the heated up screen or any inner components.

9.    Microfiber cleaning cloth & isopropyl alcohol: these could be used to clear the fingerprints and body oil on the screen and the adhesive residue.

Water damage takes up to 15% of the total repairs for an independent repair shop. In most circumstance, this repair is not that complicated if the phone was treated correctly. At the same time, water damage is also more lucrative than the cracked screen repairs. So does the glass only repair/screen refurbishing. If you are skillful enough, and want to be more competitive in the local competition, these repairs wound be of help.


Equipment for Glass screen repairs:
1.    Ultrasonic Cleaner: this machine is used to wash any possible corrosions on the motherboard (IC chips & connectors).
2.    Soft toothbrush: manually brush the lightly water damaged motherboard with isopropyl alcohol sometime may solve the problem. However, this can also make the situation even worse. We recommend you to use more specific equipment to solve the problem.

3.    LCD Separation Machine: a machine which can be used to fasten the broken screen on it and heat the adhesive in between the glass and the digitizer.
4.    Molybdenum string: a very thin but a strong string which can be used to separate the broken glass.

5.    LOCA/OCA: these are two different adhesives used to bond the new glass and the digitizer. The main difference between this two adhesives is, OCA is much more strong and expensive, while LOCA is cheaper and less sticky. If you use OCA for refurbishing screens, sometimes you’ll find it’s difficult to reuse the display, when someone break the screen for the second time.
6.    UV light: this is for drying the LOCA/OCA.

7.    Vacuum Bubble Remove Autoclave: this machine is used to remove the left air bubbles in between the glass and the digitizer (recommended for professional refurbishes).
 
Sometimes, things may get worse for your customers’ phone. Some chips may get electric short circuit and need to be replaced, or the corrosions on chips of motherboard cannot be cleaned and need to be changed. Sometimes it is the charging port sealed to the mainboard need to be replaced. These are the most complicated situations you may face during the repair.


Equipment for phone motherboard repairs:

1.    Soldering SMD Rework Station: soldering iron together with heat gun, best tools for soldering work.
2.    Soldering Paste: Essential equipment for soldering work.
3.    Magnifying Glass Station: IC chips are quite tiny, this tool will definitely make the work easier to be handled.
In addition to the above mentiones repair tools, there are some more phone repair tools that are used. We have not mentioned them as they are not frequently used like the ones above.
