BASIC TOOLS

Screwdrivers

This is not the average-sized screwdriver,

as that would be too large for the tiny

screws used on laptops

 Plastic Prying Tools

These will be needed for almost every laptop repair procedure. 

When able, you will ALWAYS use plastic over metal to 

disassemble or work on the laptop or

any electronic component.

Multi-meter

A multimeter is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. 

A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which 

case it is also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter

Thermal Paste

You will only be using Silver thermal paste in a Laptop, Never Ceramic Paste. Laptops will use 2 cooling sources…. Either Silver paste or a thermal pad. Pads will be hard to repurchase, and silver thermal paste will be readily available for sale everywhere

Plastic/Metal Epoxy Glue

You will find many varieties of this product and will have to choose the best one for

yourself, I typically use the Black/Clear mix… As it has a longer drying time, 

it will allow more strength over time and hold up to heat exposure. 

This will be used in many areas of the laptop and is that a
