How to fix rechargable devices with broken USB charging port in 5 minutes

[@carrief5497]

Wow thanks man, I've been looking for the right video to explain how to bypass the charge port for battery. I'm sick of those damn little ports breaking so easy from board. I've watched other videos people showing different things but none of them worked. I watched ur video went and did what u said and Bam worked and was easy and fast to do, thanks again dude 😎 I'm gonna share ur video with friends that need to know ur idea 👍

[@tristinstorm5858]

Your very welcome I'm glad I could help

[@sunshiiine790]

Greatest video I’ve ever watched on KZbin. Thank you

[@mandimayyhem]

Thanks!!! Exactly what I was looking for! You should shoot this video again... Could help so many people

[@tristinstorm5858]

Thank you Mandi and now that I have a better phone with a better camera I think I will do that. I never really watched it on anything other than my crappy phone after posting it but now that I have I would have to agree with you.

[@mandimayyhem]

I'd watch it again 😊

Thank you very much brother!!! This was extremely helpful and I greatly appreciate you making this video God bless you.

I seriously wish someone would video this hack again so I could actually understand exactly what happened here.

[@tristinstorm5858]

I made a better one thats a lot less shakey and explaines what I'm doing a bit more clearly

[@marcosrenegarcia3214]

Ssved my bluetooth speaker and the cost of the micro USB repair. Used s 5v USB charger for the 5v rechargable battery. This should not over charge battery, Right?

This totally worked!....thanks for the video

How do u do it if it has a batt 1 and batt two do I just connect it to the first one ?

[@WilsonOkpara-cn5vl]

Love to see you produce quality video because it's very interesting. God bless.

[@deannathompson3604]

It is great to know I can save my speaker. I just need a bit more clarity on the film as to how you connected those usb wires. Do I leave the originals in place, strip them back a bit and attach black and red to the original wires. Such a visual learner, it would be great to have a video showing this step.

[@Mr.Caring]

Hello

[@tristinstorm5858]

Sorry I do take a while to get back to people. Yes just strip back the the shielding on the red and black wires that go from the board to the rechargeable battery, I suggest doing it at different spots that way its less likely the wires will cross. Then take your usb cable and attach the red to red and black to black and you should be able to bypass the broken charging port and recharge your battery. I would suggest looking at the rechargeable battery for the proper milliamps and find an old charger box that has the same or less to recharge your devices battery.

Nice camera work

Thank you I have the courage to do anything

[@armandoblackhill1355]

Ok, I'm waking from a self inflicting kick to the face, after watching your idea. And I got say S.O.B that hurt, no, WOW!! LOVE THE IDEA.

[@cityofpureevil9844]

Would it matter to witch battery connection i connected the black and red wire from the usb cable to? For instance I have BAT-1 & BAT-2 connections to choose from. My question is would i twist both 1&2 red leads and both 1&2 black leads together with with and black wires from usb or would it be ok just to CHOOSE either BAT#1 or BAT#2 ? Thanks for all your help ... god bless

[@tristinstorm5858]

Yes. Some devices have dual battery packs in them so you can either make a jumper which is a small piece of wire that connects the 2 red wires coming from your batteries and another for the 2 black. The jumpers should be stripped at both ends and a small section in the middle as well. Essentially your making 2 "Y" cables where the 2 upper arms of each "Y" connect to your red and black battery lines and the lower arms of the 2 Y cables connect to your red and black usb wires. I hope that makes sense.

[@tyy2.031]

Where ur meant link the wires mines got like a plastic bit that clips back into the battery pack what do I do?

[@TheKeyosha1diva]

Nice! Thank you

[@Jon-mz2wp]

If this works GREAT ! But the videos shaking couldnt see what appeared to be you (?) Stripping and twisting the ground (Black wire) the positive (red wire) together ?! Then you tied in the USB cord and lost me ? Thanks for your reply on this ! Back to the video tape

[@tristinstorm5858]

Sorry I took this long to get back to you I honestly had no idea this video had so many views or comments I just saw this today and was like damn. Anyhow you do not ever twist the black and red together thats a no no. Make sure to not break the wires going from the board to the battery if you can help it. Try and melt back a tiny bit of the shielding in the middle of each wire going from the board to the battery (red and black wires) to expose the bare wire underneath. Then take your red wire from the usb cord (stripped back about 1 inch on both the red and black wires on the usb cable) and connect the red wire to the red coming from the battery in the middle where you melted back some of the shielding by making a little hook with the red exposed wire on your usb cable and then twisting it tight and putting a small piece of electrical tape over it amd do the same for the black usb cable wire to the black battery wire. Its very important to not disconnect the wires or break them off of the board or battery thats why you use a lighter or heated piece of metal to melt back the shielding on the wires rather than break or cut them. Black to black red to red.

[@kclt14]

Just incase people are having trouble, tell me of this sounds correct - 1. Open device 2. Find the charging connection on motherboard (green plate like thing that's connected to everything). 3. Strip the USB cord ( cut the opposite end of the USB to expose the wires. 4. Use the newly cut USB wires, and wrap them around where the charging cables previously were for the original cable. (Make sure to disconnect the original cables)

[@gohanis]

Basically he removed the battery function of the device because of the broken port. He then hardwired the USB cord to the black and red so that as long as it's plugged in it'll work perfectly. I think I'm just going to hook my son's remote control car to my portable battery pack 😅

[@tristinstorm5858]

No do not disconnect the wires from the mother board or battery. Use a lighter to melt back some of the shielding in the middle of the wires between the battery and board to expose a little bit of wire but keep everything connected to the board and battery. Then connect the red and black wires from your usb cord to the exposed wires red on red black on black and use a small piece of electrical tape to seal them back up and keep them from touching each other. Then you should be good to go.

[@JakobHoldensen]

Great hack. But mind the sound of the speaker. If the cabinet has a hole in it the sound quality will drop a lot.

[@jeffreybones86]

Hellz ya! this got my speaker working thanks man. I flipped the mother board and soldered to the negative and positive battery clip pins it doesn't say it is charging but it definitely is. Will it stop charging when finished with this method or will it just keep cooking the battery?

[@tristinstorm5858]

Well it can cook the battery especially if your using a fast charger box so I recommend looking at the milliamps in the battery and finding a charging box thats equal to or less than the recommended milliamps on the battery pack for safe charging.

[@amandaluna2905]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@nehemiahbell4523]

Thanks dude this is exactly what i was looking for totally work

[@matthewbeaver5026]

My wires are red white green and gray? Red and gray? If green and white are data transfer?

[@tristinstorm5858]

Yes the green and white are usually always data wires and the red and ?? Are your positive and negative power wires

[@summerlatigue8018]

Thanks. I did it!!!!

[@summerlatigue8018]

If you don’t see the battery initials. Just go to the red and black cords

[@nothingnice74]

Can you redo this with a steady hand it's hard on my eyes but looks helpful...

[@tristinstorm5858]

Yeah I have been asked a few times and have a better camera now so I guess I will have to.

[@tristinstorm5858]

I did get around to redoing this if you look on my channel you should be able to find it.

[@maudedobbs2222]

What if it doesn't have a battery and only the port

[@tristinstorm5858]

Well my friend then it is not a rechargable device as the word rechargeable would imply something with a battery that could be recharged. If its bluetooth that would imply a wireless data exchange it has a battery. It might be very small,

[@dhivakarj4642]

I couldn't understand

[@johnnykurplutzo6789]

My insignia is sealed. Figures

[@vyachad]

truthfully i could not see very well, can you explain real quick: you peeled and wrapped together the wires from the battery to the charger or from the charging port to the charger?

[@kclt14]

So cut the cord with the USB, take those wires and put them where the charging wires are currently, which should be RED and BLACK.

[@evildoctorporkchop6187]

Did not follow any of that.

[@bitchplease4231]

Really appreciate the vid bud

[@WilsonOkpara-cn5vl]

The tutorial is interesting but the video is unstable and poor.

[@HumanParaquat]

You do know you have a better camera on the back of your phone, yeah?

[@FelonyVideos]

This can ruin your battery and charging device.

[@tristinstorm5858]

Never had any issues so far and unless you have the setup to do that kind of micro soldering the device is already ruined my friend.

[@vasidee267]

unwatchable

[@tristinstorm5858]

I do apologize it was an older phone and I made this some time ago I am going to repost a new one with a better quality video. Thirty thousand other people seemed to be able to watch it but there are a few who didn't seem to realize this was posted 6 years ago and my camera was a bit shit. But as its my most watched post I think I should go ahead and redo this with my new phone and its 50 mp camera so everyone can see clearly.

What if it’s a Craig portable tower speaker looks way more complicated 😭
