Tools Needed in Computer Repairing
1. Multimeter
This is the best measuring tool used to check laptops and desktop computers, and in some cases, this tool can even repair motherboard. It is better to buy this tool with as many functions as possible.
2. Soldering iron :
A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.
A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current (supplied through an electrical cord or battery cables) through a resistive heating element. Cordless irons can be heated by combustion of gas stored in a small tank, often using a catalytic heater rather than a flame. Simple irons less commonly used today than in the past were simply a large copper bit on a handle, heated in a flame.
3. Soldering Wire :
Soldering Wire is used in soldering various PCB Components or any other circuits. Soldering wire is used along with soldering gun. Solder wire is comprised of different alloys, or of pure tin. Each metal requires a certain type of soldering wire to create strong bonds, because the combinations of metals that comprise soldering wire melt at different temperatures.
4. Soldering Flux or Paste :
Flux is used to clean the base or surface metals of oxides before and during the soldering process. Each flux has an activator package that start working at different temperatures, depending on its application. No matter the form – liquid or paste or powder – flux cleans the metals chemically.
5. De-soldering gun :
This gun is perfect for all sorts of jobs such as de-soldering capacitors, DC Jacks, coils, etc. This gun also can be used to solder in, but for convenience reason, I use a soldering station to solder in. This gun has a replaceable tip and is made with high quality materials.

God bless your hustle
Thank you
