Top 10 tools needed for Laptop/PC repair

Cleaning Brush Kit

A great product for cleaning computer screens and keyboards. It has two brushes at both ends, which can be used to clean the monitor and keyboard. The small strands of the small brush are extremely versatile in reaching the cracks between the keyboard keys and the mouse buttons. If you want to keep your screens and keyboards clean, this is a must-have.

Duster Blower

Small dust blowers use air for gentle removal of dust or debris from the surface of cramped, sensitive or inaccessible areas in a computer or a laptop. Even though cotton or cloth can get to very small spaces as well as holes in your system, a computer dust blower will do the job almost perfectly. It is a very handy tool to have, especially if you are trying to clean a laptop, or a desktop with a small cabinet.

Phillips Screwdriver

Phillips screw heads allow a tighter fit than a flat head screw, which is why most factories and handymen use them. The screws tend to be lightweight and relatively small. The trick is to match your screwdriver to the type and size of screws you’re using. Anyone who has used a screwdriver would vouch for a Phillips set, it is an industry standard, and a favourite for all handymen and repair professionals.

Ratchet Screw Set

The benefit of ratcheting screwdrivers is that you can get a firm grip on their handle and apply plenty of torque repetitively without adjusting the grip while changing or tightening screws. Regular screwdrivers don’t handle torque as well as others, so is better to find a robust, durable Rachet scew set to make sure that all your screws are tight and secure.

BIOS Programmer

The BIOS chip on a computer is a non-volatile memory mounted on the motherboard of the computer. It is used to run BIOS for initializing computers during booting, and if the BIOS chip on the motherboard is corrupted, BIOS flashing is needed. This frequently happens in older systems. BIOS flashing could be done using a BIOS programmer.

Smart SMD Tester

This Small size and light weight portable testing equipment is used for measuring SMD, such as chip resistor, chip capacitor and chip diode device. It automatically identifies the resistor, capacitor and diode.

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. It is an extremely useful safety tool if you seem to frequently perform repair work on your computer. Special, highly conductive threads on the wrist strap lead to a ground conductor in order to discharge static electricity safely.

USB 3.0 extension

This is not exactly a repair tool, but more of a multi-purpose situational fix tool. You can use it as an extension cable, or to transfer files from your mobile device to your computer in case you don’t have access to the internet. You can also use it to power any USB device, including your cellphones. It is the most versatile data cable ever created so far, and you must have one.

LED pocket flashlight

Very obvious reason to have one of these, an LED flashlight will help you light up darker areas of your system, which you otherwise cannot see with your naked eyes. It’s a very handy tool, and can help you spot areas which can help you identify or prevent any serious issue in your system in the future.

 Multi-tester

Multi-tester is a very handy tool for testing voltage. This tool helps in testing voltage resistance and measuring the power functions of the motherboard of the PC. This is a must-have tool required for Laptop/PC repair.
