Chapter 1 Basic Tools Introduction In this chapter I am going to discuss about the tools that are needed to a laptop technician. Here I will list the common names of the tools then, I will give a brief description of that tool’s usages relating to Laptop repairing 1.Screwdrivers for Laptop This is not theaverage sized screwdriver, as that would be too large for the tiny screws used on laptops today.This is the micro-sized screwdriver, which can be bought at your local Home Improvement store. I myself use an all in-one screwdriver that houses the extra tips inside the screwdriver itself. Then, I also use the screwdriver set from an Eyeglass Repair Kit.You can purchase one from your local Auto Parts Store (ask the clerk for assistance in locating one) and you will definitely need the multiple tip pack to allow different sizes for different laptop models. 2. Mini Pliers I suggest that you buy mini needle nosed pliers because they are easier to use on the micro sized components that make up the laptop. The pliers I use are 3 inches long, I find that the normal sized pliers are way too big and do not reach into certain areas that the mini can. 3.Scissors Yeah, scissors, we need a scissors. The smaller the better when obtaining your scissors. I use haircutting scissors because they are small and the cutting tips are thin and narrow. 4. Electrical Tape This is used to wrap cables and wires, and used to secure or flatten wire or cable tracks on or in the laptop. I try not to use this on wire or cable wrapping if possible because I have found that over time the tape will slowly unravel and can become ―sticky on the outer-side. 5. Shrink Wrap Tubing These can usually be found in variety packs, the larger of the sizes will be the one you use most commonly in laptop repair. These are placed over the repair area on the wire or cable, they are basically rubber tubes that you cut to your specifically needed length, then heat the tube to shrink it to the size of the wire or cable being repaired.
