Before we proceed in our discussion of cell phone basic tools, perhaps it is best to clarify exactly what is meant by the term. Generally, you can interpret the term one of two ways. First, there is a software program called Cell Phone Tools. Second, you could look into mobile phone tools that are used for repairing or modifying your cellular phones. These would include both physical tools, like a screwdriver, and virtual ones, like various software programs.
A screwdriver is a tool for driving screws and rotating other machine elements with the mating drive system. The screwdriver is made up of a head or tip, which engages with a screw, a mechanism to apply torque by rotating the tip, and some way to position and support the screwdriver.
A Tweezers are tools used for picking up and manipulating objects too small to be easily handled with the human hands. They are probably derived from tongs, pincers, or scissors-like pliers used to grab or hold hot objects since the dawn of recorded history. In a scientific or medical context they are normally referred to as forceps.
A multitester (analog) is a tool that can be use to check resistance, continuity, and voltage in electrical components.
A soldering iron is a hand tool most commonly used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt the solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.
A Solder lead is a fusible metal alloy with a melting point or melting range of 90 to 450 degree Celsius (190 to 840 °F), used in a process called soldering where it is melted to join metallic surfaces.
A Soldering flux/Paste is formulated to remove a film of oxides from the metal and make the
solder and metal more able to dissolve in each other.
A BGA Rework station - Applied Heat and Air to loosen, remove / replaced parts and IC chips.
A Reballing Kits - Tools for re balling IC bumps, this composed of Stencil plates, Ball Leads and Spatula
A DC Regulated Power Supply – A power unit that supplies direct current only. Examples: battery, transformer / rectifier / filter circuit, DC generator, and photovoltaic cell.
A Flashing and Unlocking Device - Device of gadget/box used to unlocked and reprogram the mobile phone.
A Cables and Wires - Used as an Interface from PC to cellphones for reprogram, flashing, unlocking and jailbreaking, basically cables and wires are incorporated when you buy flashing devices.
A Personal Computer (PC) - This is the most essential tools and equipment for cellphone repair.
Test Equipment
Electronic test equipment is specialized equipment which is used in the testing of electronics. It can be utilized in the construction of prototypes and new products, and in maintenance and troubleshooting. A huge family of components are included under the umbrella of electronic test equipment, ranging from simple equipment which is used for routine home repair to sophisticated systems which are used exclusively by engineers. Many companies sell used electronic test equipment, which is often far less costly than brand new products and just as useful.
All of the devices in the family of electronic test equipment are capable of providing some sort of information about an electronic device or circuit. This information can vary from something simple, like whether or not current is flowing through a circuit, to something complex, like whether or not the components of a motherboard are working properly. Electronic test equipment may be passive, or it may emit an active signal and register a response, and it can provide specific measurements, or more generic data.
One of the simplest examples of electronic test equipment is a continuity tester, a device which many people may be familiar with. A continuity tester is used to determine whether a circuit is open or closed. If the circuit is open, it indicates a fault or ground, while if it is closed, it is working correctly. Continuity testers are often used to diagnose home electrical problems, such as a suspected fault in an outlet.
More sophisticated equipment can measure current, resistance, voltage, capacitance, charge, and digital circuits. Testgear, as electronic test equipment is sometimes known, may also combine multiple functions for convenience. Electricians, phone repair men, and cable installers typically carry testgear for use in their work, and electronic test equipment is also used by engineers, physicists, and numerous other researchers and inventors.
