In today's tech-driven world, the iPhone has become an essential part of our daily lives. When an iPhone malfunctions, prompt and professional repairs can restore its functionality and extend its lifespan. To ensure efficient, high-quality repairs, technicians must have a complete set of tools. Phonefix will introduce the essential tools and advanced equipment used in iPhone repairs, helping to ensure a smooth, precise, and damage-free repair process.
Basic disassembly tools (suitable for replacement of screen, battery, shell, etc.)
1. Precision Screwdriver
A Precision Screwdriver is a must-have tool for iPhone repairs, specially designed to match Apple's unique screws. These perfectly fitted drivers prevent damage while removing screws, allowing safe access to internal components. Each specialized bit serves a specific purpose, enabling careful handling of the iPhone's delicate internals while maintaining repair efficiency and device integrity.
2. Disassembly tools
Suction cup: used to separate the screen from the body (heating is required).
Plastic pry bar: avoid scratching internal components, suitable for separating cables and bonding components.
Triangular pry pick: handle the adhesive on the edge of the screen to avoid damaging the OLED screen.
3. Heating tool (for softening adhesive)
Hot air gun: adjustable temperature (recommended 80-100℃), used to soften the screen or back cover glue.
heating pad: a safer and uniform heating solution to avoid local overheating.
4. Other essential tools
Anti-static tweezers: used to clamp cables and small components (ESD anti-static type is recommended).
screw storage box: prevent screw loss and improve repair efficiency.
Screen Removal Fixture: fix the body to avoid uneven force when disassembling the screen and causing breakage.
Advanced repair tools (Motherboard/chip-level repair)
1. Diagnostic and measurement tools
Digital multimeter: detect circuit continuity, voltage, current, and troubleshoot short circuit or open circuit.
DC power supply: simulate battery power supply to test whether the mainboard is leaking or short-circuited.
Thermal imager: quickly locate the mainboard heating fault point (such as short-circuited chip).
Magnifying glass: observe whether the tiny solder joints and chip pins are poorly soldered.
2. Soldering equipment (BGA chip repair)
Soldering iron: used to replace small components such as cable holders and capacitors.
BGA rework station: desolder chips (such as baseband, CPU), and the temperature needs to be precisely controlled (Quick 861DW is recommended).
Tin planting net: solder paste: repair or replace BGA package chips (such as hard disks, power ICs).
Desoldering wire: clean the residual tin residue on the pad to improve the welding quality.
3. Cleaning and auxiliary tools
Ultrasonic cleaning machine: remove water corrosion or motherboard oxidation (use alcohol or special cleaning fluid).
PCB cleaner brush: clean circuit boards, delicate components, motherboard and so on.
Anti-static gloves: prevent static electricity from breaking down sensitive components.
4. Programmer (repair software/bottom-layer faults)
JC V1SE Programmer: used to flash or repair iPhone hard disk data.
Dual SIM Card Reader: repair iPhone SIM card problems caused by a dirty corroded bent or damaged SIM card reader slot.
Multi-function programmer: supports advanced functions such as Face ID repair and baseband repair.
Maintenance precautionsa
- Anti-static measures: Wear an anti-static bracelet when repairing the motherboard to avoid damaging the chip.
- Temperature control: When heating the screen or welding the chip, avoid high temperature causing damage to the components.
- Screw classification: Different models of iPhone have different screw specifications and need to be marked.
- Test before installation: After repair, connect the cable to test the function first, and then fully assemble.
