What is Micro Soldering?

A quick Google search for this topic will review this explanation, but really, what does Micro Soldering mean for someone entering the industry VS someone whos been repairing for 5 years?

It is used in connecting wires, repairing tech devices, even musical instruments and almost everything in

What is micro soldering

Micro Soldering in the Cell Phone World

In the cell phone repair world, micro soldering is used normally on a B2B basis where micro solders are used by shops for that once in a while situations. Micro soldering is chip or board-level soldering and is NOT required to repair components and replace common parts. Back in the ‘old’ flip phone days, you needed soldering to even keep your doors open, now it is extremely optional.

Examples of repairs a micro solderer might do for a shop:

  • Audio IC Repair – This is a build issue from Apple found in some iPhone 7/7P and is board level
  • Damaged connector by a new tech not careful with tools
  • Baseband issues
  • TriStar Chip, this is rare damage that occurs when a charger malfunctions and damages the charge feature in the phone
  • No image damage by techs that are new
  • Short to ground
  • Boards that are eaten by corrosion
  • and other issues, we could not list them all

You may be thinking. WOW, these sound like things I will need to fix! Truth be told these are things you will rarely run into. Yes soldering is good and you will eventually want to do it BUT everyone starts somewhere and you need a good base to be successful. Anyone who says they can teach a beginner ALL the things they need to know to be successful AND micro soldering is a FAKE and is only taking your money.

Who is Micro Soldering for?

It’s for you after you have been doing a repair for at least a year, solid. It’s for the shop owner who has allot of turn over and needs to fix items his green techs break. Its for the repair guy who wants to close his shop and work from home, as your business will come by mail this is a good option.

I’m new, where does this affect me?

Being new to the industry, your start is KEY to your success. You are very prone to scams right now and being taken advantage of by ‘training programs’ that are not legit and don’t provide a true path to success. CellBotics is not the only school but there is just a handful. You need to know a few key points about where you are now:

  • You have ALLOT to learn
  • You need to learn what you need to start, open and be profitable to be able to go into the other areas in the industry
  • Micro Soldering is just 1 option, there are a few other advanced skills that you add later
  • Just like any industry, there are levels but if you don’t get the first few steps then you will never do the rest
  • Learning EVERYTHING you need and getting hands-on training can not be done as a beginner and have Micro Soldering, Refurb and so much more all at the same time, its too much info
  • There are only 3 micro soldering programs in the country recommended for the Cell Phone Repair Industry, we give you those in class
  • We do give basic to soldering for items like charge ports, so don’t worry about that, yes you’ll be able to solder after leaving class
