What may be needed for computer repair?

Question

Computers

At the moment I got a multimeter. I'm going to take a normal post card. What else can you advise for testing?

Answer 1

For starters, at least just a soldering iron + rosin, solder.
A set of screwdrivers, thermal paste, wire cutters, ties.
Old mat. boards for soldering capacitors and soldering into faulty ones, engine oil (for lubricating fans on the power supply), a tester for power supplies.
Also, a set of fans for different sockets, etc.

Answer 2

If you're serious about computer repair, grab a soldering station with a hair dryer. Tweezers, magnetic screwdrivers are also useful.

Answer 3

No one remembered about straight hands :-( soldering iron right away!
