If I could up vote kyle's comment I would. When I started out I could solder anything the size of an elephant.. Not helpful on an iPhone! A guide to using a hot air station for soldering or reflowing/removing components, temp/time guides for a phone board, pc/computer, tv (3 thicknesses I've worked on) I used "the curiousinventor.com" as my tutor. I've made mistakes trying to teach myself.. Luckily on junkboards I was salvaging for parts! I bought a cheap hot air station and a solder station which was all I could afford at the time. If someone truly believes in repairing their own household goods then even these items will be a must. I believe that we should have a guide of similar quality to your other guides for these items.. If the repair requires more than easily borrowed or a cheap station that'll be used again and again then I agree it's a professional repair. For Christmas my parents bought me an Australian book from the 70's/80's by Dick Smith ( pilot and owner of electronics shops) unbelieveably good for beginners/novices wanting to learn electronics. I was actually going to recommend using it as a template for a "glossary/how to" on here! Wish they'd bought it last Christmas, ah well.
