Mobile Phone Repair and Maintenance

Welcome to this course on mobile cell phone repair and maintenance. A mobile cell phone is a hand held mobile device that can perform several communication functions. Mobile technology has become one of the fastest growing technologies in the world. Today people use mobile phones to stay in touch with friends and family, to share stories and photographs in social media, and to carry out financial transactions. Indeed, according to a World Bank policy research paper of 2012, 93% of Kenyans owned a mobile phone by the end of 2011.

This widespread ownership and use of mobile phones has created a need for professionals who can repair and service mobile phones. This course has been developed to address that need.

By the end of this course you should be able to disassemble and assemble a mobile phone, diagnose the problem, service and repair a mobile phone with the help of proper tools and instruments.
