Hi guys 
I'am looking for an advice, tips, techniques on how to troubleshoot repair L.G. and Blackberry Units.
I do have knowledge in Basic Electronics and Troubleshooting but mostly on appliances such as TU, radios, e-fan and the like.
This is the first time that I will deal with "cellular phones" (with much small, sensitive components) 
I dont have enough knowledge with "hot air soldering. I have only use traditional soldering iron (some of them are cheap and made in China that burnt easily) 
That's why I am looking for advice. I googled it already, but I didn't found any descent sites. 
Please assist me here. Thank you. |

My daughter got her first Blackberry for free with a cell phone contract. I think repairs/replacement are also free but it has never failed. Now she has a second newer one from her employer. Stereo Blackberries! |

I'm not sure why you would repair something like this? The cost/labour would quickly exceed the replacement value of the device unless the repairs are simple trackball swaps, screen swaps, etc. Most of the time, the internals are on just a few chips on a board which may or may not be labelled and available on the open market. Most phone issues are mechanical problems like being eaten by a dog, dropped in a toilet, run over, etc.
Here is a Blackberry Torch disassembly:

Not much to fix. |

I doubt that you will be able to buy the parts and understand what they do. |
