12/2/2019. Almost 3 years and I can finally charge my phone. Worked the first time. Thank you.

@1djsteveo 6 лет назад

Thank you. Im here in Dallas Tx, in the hospital with my daughter. We live in El paso tx. And this saved me thank you so much. My port broke and my phone turned off and wouldnt charge. I wasnt able to comunicate with my wife and kids till i did this. Thanks God bless.

@PerrynBecky 6 лет назад

You might want to warn people about the fire/explosion risk they run if the wires short to the positive and negative ports, not to mention the potential damage to the USB charger or device it's being plugged in to. Otherwise, it's a good way to get out of a bind temporarily.

@tonyrhodes5541 2 года назад

Yeah and he really dont say or show what charging cord he uses. Like i cut the ends off 2 different cords and there is no black wire. So i wonder how many people did the same and went aheead and guessed at which wire to use instead of the black one and they smoked their battery or fried their phone.

@omotnow 3 года назад

This really helped me, thanks so much! 79% charge in a little over an hour. This after struggling with a wobbly USB connection which eventually had to be held manually to start charging from 0%. Thank you!!!!!!

@MississippiMike 6 лет назад

I have an older phone used for hotspot and the USB charger keeps breaking. This method worked well for me. Important to note that because the data cables are not connected properly (I tried though) your phoner will not recognize that is being charged (even though it is) or show you the percentage. Anyway, I got my old phone back and it's working great, thanks for the video!

@stevenpike5679 5 лет назад

I just needed to charge a phone to get a video off of it and the charging port was broken. THIS WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!! Thanks luppien :)

@Nickolai20599 6 лет назад

I can vouch for this, took an old broken charger (wires were cut somewhere inside along its second half) and wired it up like in the video. Not sure if this differs from battery to battery, but although the charging was quick, (17% in the matter of 2-4 minutes) the drop off was exceedingly quick as well. Going from 17% to 7 within 10-15 minutes. This works if you need to make one or a couple of calls. But I'm not quite sure if it damaged my battery or not.It was an old battery none the less so about time for an upgrade. TL;DR Only do this if you need to get in contact with someone, or if you want to tell some people that you won't be reachable via phone until you get a new one or it repaired.

@kevinl1505 Год назад

Thanks a bunch. I had 2 old phones that I was just going to trade in for some credit but it used proprietary charging cables from the 90s which I have lost. Using this method; I managed to boot the phones up enough to trade in. One tip; the battery warms up REALLY quickly, so I put it on a power bar and cycled it on for 2-5 min charge with rest in between so it could cool down. I had a non-contact thermometer I used to ensure the battery temp stayed below 35 degrees celsius as well (or just feel it and turn it off when warm). Still a dangerous method; but it worked for me. Do not use this on a regular basis. Be prepared for thermal runaway (I had the phone in a pyrex container and was watching it constantly to be ready to throw it out the door.

@TwiceAsSweet Месяц назад

You are so smart couldn't stop laughing while reading your post especially when I saw waiting to throw it outdoor..but the person should have also talked about the risk involved in this method and then tag it as emergency/temporary way to charge a mobile phone with damaged charging port

@ryderc3141 7 лет назад

5 ⭐'s My husband's lg stylo won't charge at all due to a broken charger port and we thought our only option was to buy a separate battery w/charging dock for the battery itself. But an hour after ordering the battery & charging dock I came across this video and figured I'd give it a try while I was waiting for the order to come in the mail. Well to my surprise it worked and it worked better than a regular charger. Within a half hour this method charged my husband's phone to over 70% from being completely dead where we couldn't even get it to power up for even second. Thank you so much now my husband will be able to use his phone while waiting on the new battery & charging dock to come in the mail.

@SirWolfCZ 7 лет назад

Please don't do this! Li-pol batteries must be charged in very specific way using voltage and current limitation. Circuits in your phone do this, not the charger itself. Doing it this way you are bypassing those circuits and applying unregulated 5 Volts directly to your battery. It will destroy your battery quickly and there is also a risk of fire or explosion. Li-pol batteries are very vulnerable.

@ParosPasxaRide 6 лет назад

yeah but you forgot that the battery it self has also regulating circuit and at the end of the day this works just fine, you will end up with just 1 protection instead of 2

@nicholaslandolina 6 лет назад

@stephenwilson8150 6 лет назад

Dude, the battery has it very own regulation circuit. You're thinking of unregulated R/C LiPo batteries. Cheers.

@michaelmercury1256 2 года назад

Super video and well done for your great topic, so useful to help buy some time when your phone is failing. Please, I have a charge doctor device, which measures amps and voltage when connected between the charger unit and usb cable. My phone charge port was wearing out after 4 years of use of my smartphone using micro usb connector and I was stuck with an unchargeable, thanks to you not now. Can I connect the usb leads red and black to the positive and negative, directly to the battery without the phone, for a few hours and what should I look out for, maybe a hot battery after a bit of time say? Is there a little device to help charge the battery off the phone? Many thanks..

I was a bit desperate, my only phone/communication AND I needed it to work tomorrow so my grocery order at WalMart would go thru, as they call to confirm and I would call to pick up. I was afraid they wouldn't do my order IF they couldn't get me. SO , You really helped me and I thank you. Would like your take on New product I've seen that supposed to improve your port, a magnetic type connection. UGH, not sure, but maybe you'll know, and I know if my tab is gone, maybe that wouldn't work either. But , I now have your hack !!!! 😀😁💌

@KindCountsDeb3773 4 года назад

OK, I took the large end of the USB cable off. Problem is I need the larger end, it works on my adapter for USB to plug in wall outlet. And one in my vehicle. Hard to start over, ruin another cable. Then I just couldn't get those tiny wires around the tines of the area you showed. I guess I will got to a shop. I do appreciate that others were helped. I do think more info on which END of the USB cable could be used and why. Thanks.

@@KindCountsDeb3773 you're right knowing which ndacut would definitely make a big difference I know this was a couple of years ago but I just wanted to give you information case you hadn't found it yet by chance the Dollar Tree carries phone chargers as well as headphones which I found to be just as good as the others for a dollar 25 each and they generally have all of the Chargers I'm not sure if they have the iPhone chargers but they do have baby mini micro and the c-type Chargers and they're the only ones I've ever used for years so they definitely work well and if you happen to forget one or need an X1 for an extra area of your house I got them for all six of my kids guess that's why I just thought I would pass that information on to you you probably also could have spliced the wires back together with electrical tape the way we used to do old cords just matching the colors of the wires back of course taking them together and then putting it all back together and then cut the other end off I would think
