Thanks for creating this type of content. After watching I was able to charge a dead phone battery enough to get it functional again. It took weeks to get a replacement charging port for a already dead Asus phone and it drained below the threshold to function normally. Now everything is good. Instantly subscribed to learn more.

[@visualmisinformation]

I really enjoyed watching you work on a practical hack from your obviously strong knowledge of the electronics involved and an instinct for what might work in scrounging from available parts. Very resourceful!

[@thebrokeway9838]

I waited for you to get off the phone no skip is how much you have this attention bro!! Great video

[@jihadsoufiane5887]

Nice Job I used this method but in different way rather than used diode and resistor i used regulator thank u for this video

[@electronicsrepairschool]

with regulator is better but not many ppl know about that

[@FrancoCoccini]

Hello Mr. Sorin, i think you can change in the OS power settings that you can switch Type-C’s output, choosing whether to receive power or send power.

[@shellybrown7433]

Happy I found this channel. Ready to learn 🤓

[@deb1000001]

got mine charging by slowly putting pressure/bending the charging cord/outlet. but that's temporary. (It would say charging temporarily, but not actually charging. It's charging slow now, while turned off at least it's charging.)ni can't do anything on the "board" so ordered a microcharger. that was good information, thanks.

[@SerenoOunce]

This would make sense if the micro USB charging circuit was faulty but in this case why not just use a jumper wire from the +5V USB C to the micro USB

[@kritozone2172]

I was thinking of the same thing.... Can anyone explain why not?

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Nothing, it just stops taking current

Real fan of your videos! Do you actually need a diode here? could resistor be not enough?

[@seckinseckin3919]

resistor for decreasing current (watt) , diode for decreasing voltage

[@verdunelectronics9985]

[@chrisg6091]

Thanks!

[@Infiniti25]

Does it matter that you only soldered to one of the red wire pins? Does the battery IC feed the power evenly between the cells or is that the job of the charging IC? Also do you have to advise the customer to not leave it charging overnight? I'm just wondering where the cutoff happens for the power when it gets to 100% to prevent overcharging/overheating.

[@Awynn0]

No propper voltage cutoff, even with diode dropping the voltage, if left on charge battery could easily reach 4.4+ volts if the battery protection circuit fails of is set a bit high which will cause battery damage and at best early failure, at worst a lipo fire. That's why he keeps saying it's ”dodgy"

[@sarfrazahmed355]

Great job thanks

[@aldocorderocardenas]

nice video man!!!!! i love you

[@marcofreire]

Amazing hack. Thanks. Is the USB C port still usable? Its in loop with the battery and the "charging system" will draw 900mA from USB C bus. Will it still work?

[@Ueieieiddudu]

One fume extractor would help you with those fumes while you soldering. Take care of yourself.

[@raymonddube70]

Hello Sorin, what about when the battery is full, this will continue to send 900ma, won't it explode? There is no sensor to stop the current when the battery is full?

[@pr0xZen]

What device and software do you use for reading and displaying all those measurements on screen?

[@bryankreinhart]

Couldn't you jumper the 5v from the USB-C to the 5v of the micro-USB? You would then be able to charge from either port and have it go through the built-in charging circuitry.

[@tanidrizi5456]

that tablet will show like 100% charg when its turned on and plugged in even tho the battery it's not 100% charged coz the tabled will recognize the + taken from charging port as battery current ? 😬

[@electronicsrepairschool]

No

[@thetrashkis001]

If you from UK how can I come to see you? I left my tablet in the repair shop and they for 3 weeks couldn't do anything about it. When you put tablet on charge, it shows -1%

[@geojor]

so does this wire, diode, and resistor take the charging ic out of the circuit?...

[@Infiniti25]

He said it's a bypass circuit in the case of failed charging IC. So your answer is yes :)

[@rizwanshaa]

best. waiting for new things

[@asaf158]

What a show!!! :-)

[@primaroselet001]

My my tablet HPC hope centre repair no touch work you repaired ok

[@geojor]

does the 5V from the charger go to both the power ic, and the charging ic because the power ic needs a source of voltage to make it into many smaller voltages? thanks for comments...

[@Infiniti25]

The USB-C port on that particular tablet was not designed to handle charging so there is no USB-C charing IC on that board. He did however take the 5V from the USB-C power rail from a resistor or capacitor then he fed it into the resistor, then diode and finally to a battery pin.

[@dominationsmasterofcheats4465]

I have a question, I have China tablet, the micro USB connector Brock, when I turn on the tablet with 30% battery left it turn on but nothing was showing in the display, now how can I use it again with out the micro USB charger?

[@SparrowsLot]

Dont worry about the charging mistake on USB C, I had a xoom tablet, wouldnt charge through the micro usb. Took it apart, tried fault finding. Spent hours. Decided to read up on it and Xooms dont use usb to charge! They have a 12v jack socket. Nearly cried!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBaksadj]

why did not you connect from USB C to USB micro?

[@storygoldteam8843]

When you have phone with broken charging ic you use this way

When I test ground only "meaning just one probe of the multimeter" on ground it gives me 7 volts, is that normal?

why not use cheap charger IC from china? Your way will overcharge the battery.

any recommendations? thanks!

or just use one of those generic "arduino" li-ion chargers. Its a cheap and relatively flat pcb. Just put it somewhere and conect the 4 wires.

be careful with the diode because some of them have voltage drop 0.2V

Hi ! You ar fun to lisning that go advise :)

If put lower w rezistor ....you have low temperature ???

No, the opposite. The wattage is the MAX of what the resistor COULD handle. Bigger wattage capability equals less heat produced.

[@jamest.5001]

What if you get very dodgy with it, and just attach a tp4056 module to the battery, and glue it on with a hole in the case to plug the USB into the tp4056! Any objections? 😆

Hahah video start I was like ok he is sleeping on the job 😂😂😂 that's funny good video 👍

[@geojor]

where does the power ic get its source of voltage?

[@Infiniti25]

He is bypassing the charging IC and so he is stealing 5V from the area around the known good USB-C port, looked like he took it from a resistor or a capacitor near the USB-C IC then he fed it into the resistor, then diode and finally to a battery pin.

how i fix a dell tablet no charging

[@adrimg7989]

Just a question, if after putting an 1.2 ohm resistor and a diode straight from the 5.1 volts presents in the USB pin to the plus pin of the battery connector it is only taking 200mA, may the battery be faulty? (It is a 3.8 volts battery) I ran into this problem with a Lenovo tablet and after doing this dodgy repair the tablet does charge but at very low current rate so I wondered if the battery is just bad (I mean it looks like a battery with a high internal resistance which is a bad signal I guess).

[@sbsb9144]

R =1ohm colleur

[@abuubakarosmanaweys9106]

👍

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

Or buy a cheap charger from eBay and makes space

[@pedrof.7821]

In this case, you could have just bridge VCC from each connector and it would be fixed, no?

[@electronicsrepairschool]

no! i explained why i used the diode and the resistor :)

[@pedrof.7821]

To limit current as i understood. But since the charger connector has an IC that controls the output current, if you connect both ports, it would be the same. No? I say this because 5V will be present on the charger IC. Please explain, maybe i didn't get it all together. Thanks

[@pejmanbehbahani4612]

Pedro, you didn't get the point, the point was to charge without the charging circuit/in case the charging IC is not working.

[@pedrof.7821]

Yes i understand but thanks for put it here. but my question is: if he had connected both USB's VCC would it be a problem?

[@sidahmedikhelef8748]

Yes, you are right just connect the microusb 5v with the the USB-C 5v, and it will work. :)

[@sajjadheidary2518]

wow! you fuckin master!! that was fantastic!! thank you Man!!! LOOOOOOOOOVE!! ❤😘😘😘

[@zx8401ztv]

You dodgy bugger he he :-D I have rigged up a 7805 regulator wired as constant current regulator + diode, it was to replace a fancy charge circuit in a battery shaver that exploded, it wasnt a cheap shaver eather. My basic circuit charged the battery better, shaver lasted longer. I also bodge lol :-D

[@zx8401ztv]

Yes, but if you connect a resistor from the output to the middle pin, then connect the middle pin to the battery +, it will be a constant current regulator :-). 5v/resistor = current passing. simple series circuit, im sure you know it. Can use a lm317 1.25v reg :-D

[@electronicsrepairschool]

true :)

[@zx8401ztv]

Quite accurate for just two components, i like simplicity, bugger all to go wrong ha ha :)

[@computersrepaircotesaint-l7407]

You confused me. the middle pin is ground. so you connect a resistor to ground and from the ground to the +? What am I missing here?

This Video Should Be Titled "HOW TO BURN A CUSTOMER'S HOUSE DOWN"!!!!!! Sorin - i love your vids and i've learned a lot - but this is dangerous! There's no way to terminate charging once the battery is full. Older technology , such as Nicads or nickel metal hydride cells - fine, once charged, they can handle a reasonably small trickle charge. However, once lithium cells reach 4.2 volts, 4.3V ABSOLUTELY MAXIMUM! charging MUST stop as you start plating metallic lithium onto the electrodes of the cell - leading to a short circuit and fire/explosion! check out battery university website to prove im not being over dramatic! - but you are dicing with death here. Look at Samsung, if they can't get the charging process right - how can you expect to get away with this! I'm sorry but this is stupidity and a man of your skill set should know this! If the battery is old and its internal resistance is quite high - this method could see the terminal voltage reach 4.4volts. ANYONE WATCHING THIS, I BEG YOU NOT TO TRY IT - IT WORKS FOR A WHILE BUT YOU HAVE JUST CONSTRUCTED A TIME BOMB!!!!
