Next is wire. I advise very
thin wire, I use a wire called Kynar Insulated 30AWG from RS.
Stock Number 209-4833.
I cut the wire to a good
long length, more than I need, then I use the insulation of a thicker
form of wire i.e. alarm
cable, these are coloured so I take four different colours and feed them
over the thin wire. [See
picture below.] This allows you to keep track of each wire and where it
goes.
Next is insulation tape.
Any type will do but the thinner the better because there is not much
room inside the phone.
You will also need a soldering iron [need I really state this!]. I good temperature controlled iron with a thin tip is great. And that leaves us with just a few other stuff like a knife or cutters and pliers etc., but I don't think I need to go into this.
