  • Lesson 1 of 23
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

You fix common phone problems: cracked screens, weak batteries, broken charging ports and back glass. You buy the part, fit it, test the phone and give a warranty.

The steps to a first paid repair

  1. Practise on old phones until you can do a battery and a screen cleanly.
  2. Find a reliable parts supplier.
  3. Set prices and a written warranty.
  4. Start with simple jobs for people you know.

A good sign: a repaired phone that works perfectly a month later, and a customer who sends a friend.

Do it now

Tick it off when it is done. Your ticks are saved on this device.

Quick check

Pick an answer to see how you did.

In a typical case, how long until the first money comes in?

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Practise five screen or battery swaps on old phones.

You are done when:

  • You wrote down what you found
  • You know whether to carry on or adjust

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
