Mobile Repair Tools

With proper tools, you can be prepared to repair your mobile phone if necessary.


Mobile phones are the most popular consumer item. More than 203 million U.S. residents use mobile phones an average of 13 hours a month for making calls, sending text messages, playing games and taking photos. Your phone can be damaged if you drop it onto a hard surface or into water. If your phone needs care, a variety of mobile repair tools may help you quickly reconnect with the world.


Cleaning Tools


Compact USB and hand vacuum cleaners operating on a low power setting can clean up the accumulation of dust and grit that can prevent the keys from functioning normally, in much the same manner these tools are used to clean computer keyboards. Small brushes with soft bristles whisk away dust. Small vacuums and an assortment of brushes are available at local hardware stores. You can find USB-driven models at computer stores.


Drying Tools


Mobile phones can be ruined by accidental immersion in water. If you cover the phone in uncooked rice, the water-absorbing effect of the rice can draw moisture out of your phone. You can use a can of compressed air, available at computer stores and office supply shops, to help push water from inside areas of your phone such as the speaker and keypad.


Case Tools


A small screwdriver inserted into the hole where the tethering cord is attached can save your phone from damage you might do by prying it open with a variety of unsuitable items. Tiny screwdrivers, resembling the type used for sewing machines, are available from phone stores.They prevent the case seal from pitting that could lead to accumulation of dust inside the phone if using via small holes left by other, larger tools.


Data Recovery Tools


A dead phone and damaged card do not necessarily mean you have lost the information on your SIM card. Data-recovery software, available from computer stores and online vendors, can find even deleted text messages on corrupted cards, and allows you to retrieve your contact numbers.


Anti-Static Tools


Superior versions of brushes, designed especially for cleaning the insides of phones and computers, offer extra safety. Static can damage the sensitive parts of your phone. A wrist-wrap or band with a long grounding cord is used by computer repair experts to dissipate static. This general-purpose repair tool ensures you do not transfer static to your phone while cleaning it. These attach to the wrist or arm with Velcro or elastic, and are available from computer stores.
