Repair Tools

Using tools properly helps prevent accidents

and damage to equipment and people. This
section describes and covers the proper use of a
variety of hardware, software, and organizational
tools specific to working with computers and
peripherals
1. anti static wrist strap
An anti-static wrist strap is a key piece of safety gear
that helps to prevent the buildup of static electricity
near sensitive electronics or other projects where
static charge could damage electronics or cause
safety issues. The wrist strap is often used with an
anti-static mat or other type of work space covering.
Special, highly conductive threads on the wrist strap
lead to a ground conductor in order to discharge
static electricity safely
2. Phillips screwdrivers
A good Phillips screwdriver will be your main tool.
For laptop repairs you will need three sizes: #1, #0,
#00.
You will not be using slotted screwdrivers a lot but
you’ll need them once in a while. I would
recommend to take a look at Wiha 26197 Slotted
and Phillips magnetic screwdriver set.
3. Precision screwdriver set
If you prefer to have all most
common screwdrivers in one box,
you should consider a precision
screwdriver set. Wiha 75971 Master
Tech micro bit set is a great
options..
4.Apple MacBook Pro/Air
screwdrivers
For Apple MacBook Pro and
MacBook Air computers, in
addition to Phillips and Torx
mentioned earlier, you will
need Pentalobe P5 and Try-
Wing screwdrivers. Take a
look at these screwdriver
sets for Apple computers.
5. Tweezers
I would like to mention the
importance of good, strong needle
nose tweezers. You will use them
very often and they are very
convenient for opening small
motherboard cable connectors and
fitting small cables into the
connectors. Wiha 44501 ESD safe
tweezers will be the excellent choice.
They made of non-rusting special
alloyed stainless steel and designed
for all current electronics
applications. These tweezers and
very strong, very sharp and will last
you for a long time.
6. Digital Multimeter
A good digital multimeter
will help you test AC
adapters, troubleshoot
failed DC power jack, etc..
Using a multimeter you
can test a circuit board or
wire for continuity.
7. Soldering Iron
is a hand tool used to heat solder, usually from an
electrical supply at high temperatures above the melting
point of the metal alloy. This allows for the solder to
flow between the workpieces needing to be joined
8. Desoldering hand pump

A desoldering pump is another

useful tool you must have for
soldering/desoldering jobs, for
example for DC jack removals. It
will help you to remove large
amounts of solder quickly and
efficiently.
9. Solder flux
Flux aids in soldering and desoldering processes by
removing oxide films which form on the surface of
metals being soldered. It increases the wetting ability of
the solder, causing it to flow more uniformly over
surfaces without balling-up (dewetting)
10. Hot air soldering station
A good quality hot air soldering
station is an expensive but a very
useful tool for many soldering
applications. It saves you tons of
time while replacing built-in DC
power jacks. The hot air station
makes it a breeze soldering and
desoldering surface-mounted
components. If you want to learn
how to repair motherboards on
component level, this tool is a must
11. Kapton tape
A roll of high temperature
Kapton tape is a must have
item in your laptop repair
toolbox. It’s made from a
polyimide film with high
temperature resistant silicone
adhesive.
12. Microscope
You cannot do microsoldering without
a good microscope. You don’t need
anything fancy, a basic AmScope
SE400-Z binocular stereo microscope
will be sufficient for most repairs you
encounter.

LAPTOP SCHEMATIC
What Is a Schematic
Diagram?
A schematic diagram is a picture
that represents the components
of a process, device, or other
object using abstract, often
standardized symbols and lines.
Although schematic diagrams
are commonly associated with
electrical circuits, many
examples can be found in other
industries.
Arts and literature

What understanding a laptop schematic diagram is?

Understanding and learning how to read a schematic is a very important thing for hardware
or electrical engineer. Understanding the diagram will let you know the general structure of
the particular document, what page is about, follow the symbols,= and you will be able to
locate various components on the diagram of laptop motherboard I hope this article will
help in making you the literate schematic reader. Here is the picture of some important
symbols in the schematic diagram that represents; Resistors, Variable resistors, Switches,
Capacitors, Inductors, Diodes, Voltage sources, Batteries, Voltage nodes, N- gates, n-
channel MOSFETs, p- channel MOSFETs, Integrated circuits, etc.
BLOCK DIAGRAM

A block diagram is a visual representation of a system that uses simple, labeled blocks that represent
single or multiple items, entities or concepts, connected by lines to show relationships between them.

 An entity relationship diagram (ERD), one example of a block diagram, represents an
information system by showing the relationships between people, objects, places, concepts or
events within that system
 Laptop Schematic Diagram
As, with other schematics, there are also schematic and block diagrams for laptops. They are
called laptop schematic diagram or laptop block diagram. These aids in repairing the different
components and parts of laptop easily. But, only a laptop repair professional can do this. Because you
need a piece of basic information, logic, and some intelligence in reading the laptop schematics
diagram. We will discuss later how to read laptop schematic diagrams. Laptop schematic diagrams are
a very essential thing in repairing the laptop motherboard. Whenever troubleshooting with your laptop
happens, you will need to use schematics and block diagrams to pinpoint the issue.
