    Use a bench power supply (stop using BS chargers)

    And tell your customers to not try to fix their own chargers... Guy died here last week opening his charger immediately after pulling it out from the outlet. Charged caps.

    Charge rates for iPhones

    Usually I only fix androids, rarely iPhones. Lately I am getting lot of them from other shops. Very few have mobo problems, most are lcds, ports, audio jack and tristar chips. how much should I charge for these repairs? Considering that these are not final customers

    Pre heater

    The FR-830 is too small for me.. I use them mostly for BGA rework. I successfully used a LCD separator machine as pre heater to replace graphics chips until it died.. The PUHUI looks big enough for my stuff. I'll buy one on aliexpress. Thank you
