Now that you have all of your equipment for microsoldering, you’re probably asking yourself, where do I buy all of the small components, chips, and connectors? Most of my parts come from Digikey.com, Amazon.com, Aliexpress.com, and Ebay.com. Common backlight filters, diodes, capacitors, resistors, etc., I get them all from Digikey.com or Mouser.com. For ICs and connectors, I get them at Aliexpress.com.

Here’s a list of common components, connectors, and ICs that I use for my most common repairs.  Everything in red, you should stock up on and have these on hand, at minimum.  These are the most common repair components.
