How to charge your phone without a charger? How to charge a phone without a charger with a broken socket? How to make a phone charger?

A mobile phone is an excellent means of communication and a multifunctional tool that every person needs. That's why we charge our phones regularly and are afraid of being left with a dead battery. But over time, almost any owner of a mobile phone is faced with the fact that it begins to charge poorly or does not charge at all. Let's figure out how to charge the battery if the connection socket is broken.

Why won't my charger charge my phone?

If you are faced with the fact that the charger does not charge your mobile phone (the rule also applies to other gadgets), first of all you should understand the causes of the problem. There may be several of them:

• The charging device has failed. Chargers often have cords that break off at the connector and at the point where the cord enters the inside of the case. Another similar device (you can rent it from friends) will help you check this assumption. If the charge is normal with another power supply, then the problem is not in the socket.
• The battery has deteriorated due to prolonged use. Over time, batteries begin to charge slowly or lose their ability to hold a charge. To check, put another battery in the phone.
• The USB socket has failed. Unfortunately, charging problems are also a common cause. If it is proven that the problem is not with the charger or the battery, we can only assume this option.

If the battery is low and you need to make a call very urgently (“a matter of life and death”), use extreme methods: hit the battery several times on a hard object or heat it with a hot knife blade. The battery will fail, but the energy received will be enough for 1-2 short calls.

Only a service center can fully repair the nest. But there are several ways that will help charge the battery bypassing the socket. Of course, these are half measures, but you can hold out like this for a while.

Replacing the connector

Now let's figure out what to do if the charging socket is broken, and whether it can be repaired at home.

After disassembling the gadget, you need to carefully inspect the socket and determine the type of damage. There are three types of faults:

• the contacts connecting the power connector to the device board have become unsoldered;

• obvious damage is visible on the nest;

• The socket is damaged, but its replacement is only possible together with other parts of the gadget. For example, the board on which the socket is installed is very thin and cannot withstand heat. In addition, among new phones from Apple, Samsung, and Lenovo, there are often models in which the power connector is rigidly connected to the cable.

Replacement of the connector at home should be carried out in the following order:

• remove the back cover of the gadget;

• inspect the nest;

• remove the fee;

• unsolder the connector, the easiest way to do this is with a soldering gun. Set the hot air temperature to 380°C, then blow and try to loosen the connector. When it moves, you can remove it from the board;

• install a new connector and solder it.

The following video shows how to replace the power connector using six different devices as an example.

Can I charge my phone from my phone?

One interesting charging technology is USB OTG (On-The-Go). It is implemented on the Android platform and allows you to quickly recharge one phone from another. You will need a device with an OTG port and a capacious battery (we will use it as a power bank). You will also need a special cable.

Having connected one phone to the OTG connector and the other to a regular charging socket, we wait until charging occurs. Of course, it will not be possible to fully charge the battery this way, but it will be quite possible to get the minimum required for 3-4 calls of high importance.

How to charge a portable speaker

There are two main ways to replenish the battery capacity of a portable speaker. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

Charging from another device

This is a standard method of recharging the battery, since most portable speakers do not come with a charger adapter. In this case, you will need to take a cord with three outputs and carry out the following manipulations:

• Connect the Micro-USB plug to the corresponding socket on the rear panel of the speaker. Often it is covered with a plug that needs to be picked out. You can't make a mistake with a connector: in another, the plug simply won't fit.
• Connect a regular USB output to the corresponding input on your computer, laptop or even TV. In the latter case, a current of the required magnitude must be supplied to it. This is checked by connecting an external HDD, if it is detected by the TV, there is current.

Now all you have to do is wait for the process to complete, after which you need to disconnect the cable from the power source. It is not recommended to leave a charged speaker connected to the charger for a long time - this can speed up the process of battery wear.

How to charge a portable speaker from a power outlet

Will be useful

While on the road or far from the computer, the portable speaker can be charged from a standard 220V network. However, there is one important nuance here - choosing the right power adapter.

It's no secret that inexpensive portable speakers do not come with a charger unit - this reduces the final cost, but does not allow you to charge the device away from a PC or laptop. The solution will be to select a third-party power supply that will supply the required current to the battery. To find out the required parameters, you should look at the instructions and view the technical specifications page. If the battery is removable, then the required value can be found directly on it.

In most cases, the charger from your smartphone will do. The charging process is performed as follows:

• The end of the cord coming from the power supply is inserted into the Micro-USB connector on the portable speaker. You can also use the supplied cable, then the USB plug is connected to the adapter, and the other end is connected to the speaker.
• The power supply is connected to the outlet.

All you have to do is wait until charging is complete and disconnect the power supply from the network.

Looking for the optimal charging position

Often a damaged socket does not fail completely. By moving the wire in the connector, you can find in a minute the position in which the charge continues to flow. Fix the phone in this position and charge the battery as before.

The method cannot be called effective - it is used only for a short period before contacting the service. But it’s quite possible to hold out like this for a week until payday.

What to do if the charger goes out?

If the phone does not charge at all or only charges if you hold the charger at a certain angle, then the solution to this problem is simpler than it seems.

What kind of lighting do you prefer?

Built-in Chandelier

• Clean the charging input from debris and dust
• Clean the USB port from oxidation. The USB port contacts oxidize if the gadget has been in contact with moisture or has been misused
• Disconnect your device
• Take out the battery
• Using a needle or toothpick (soaked in alcohol), very carefully clean the connector
• Check the charging cable for damage
• Check the temperature of the adapter from the charger. If it is too hot/cold it indicates a breakdown
• The last option is to reset the settings to factory defaults. The problem may be a software glitch

Before formatting, make backup copies of all data. Otherwise they will be lost.

If you know other reasons why the charger loses power, write to us in the comments.

The charging process involves several things at once: the charger, consisting of a plug, tip and cord, as well as the battery itself. That is why, if the smartphone does not charge and does not accept energy from a standard or new purchased “Chinese” charger, we check each unit separately.

We use the "frog"

Another option is to purchase a universal device. In everyday life it is called “crab” or “frog”. Even a device with a completely defective power connector can be charged with a “frog”, because the current flows directly to the battery terminals.

The frog is a plastic case equipped with a plug that is inserted into an outlet. It also has a place for mounting batteries and a pair of movable “legs”. Having inserted the battery into the socket, the tabs are connected to the terminals, observing polarity. A frog plugged into an outlet effectively charges your phone.

The method has several disadvantages:

• You have to spend money on buying “crab”. At the same time, a high-quality device is expensive (more than you will have to pay for service).
• Low degree of security, especially when using inexpensive devices. Cheap crafts from unknown “craftsmen” from China will not burden your pocket, but no one can guarantee the safety of the battery.
• While charging is taking place, you will not be able to use the phone.

Do not leave the “crab” inserted into the outlet unattended. Periodically (every 20-30 minutes) check whether the battery is swollen, whether the case is overheated, and whether the charge indicators are on. These simple measures will help protect your home from fire.

A much safer charging option that bypasses the connector is to use a wireless charging station. But such technologies are supported only by the latest generation devices.

Good day! Please tell me how can I charge the non-removable battery on the Alcatel One Touch Pop 5 smartphone?

They refused to repair the nest because... The display is cracked, and I need to get the information out of it.

No duplicates found

There, the board with the socket is removed very easily, the display is not affected. maybe contact another service?

I will support my friend. The display on this model does not sit on the body frame, but on the main frame, onto which the battery is glued and the motherboard is screwed on. If the service is not accepted, find another service where your hands are not out of your ass. Well, or wherever I applied - they just don’t want to deal with minor repairs.

Thank you, it’s easier to just take it apart yourself and give the board back

I’ve had this situation happen a couple of times, the first time I got it out with pins (I pushed it under the cambric), the second time it was completely banal - two alligator clips.

I charged without desoldering the battery.

Py. Sy. With this charging method, it is strictly forbidden to turn on the phone gadget while the charger is connected.

Thank you all so much!

I live in a village, so to speak, there are 2 craftsmen, both refused and said that there was a high chance of breaking the display. I want to send the information to Yandex disk

Thank you very much, the video was very useful. With coming.

Give it to normal specialists? Or is such an extreme method not considered?

Well, this is not necessary, the main thing is that Wi-Fi or 3G works

laboratory worker or frog

well it's natural =)

Where to connect the terminals to charge the phone directly

Another option for charging directly will require some accuracy and knowledge of basic electrical engineering. To do this, you will need to cut off the connector on the charger with a knife and thoroughly clean the wires. A red wire is usually “+”, a blue (or other, for example black) wire is “-”.

All manipulations are carried out only on a device disconnected from the network! Before you start charging, make sure there is another person at home who can help you in case of electric shock.

After cleaning the insulation, the wires are applied directly to the battery contacts. The main thing is not to confuse the polarity and not to touch the metal with your hands. The wires are secured with pieces of insulating tape. After this, the charger is plugged into the outlet.

The method is also only a temporary solution. It provides unstable contact, which damages the battery, and is also unsafe in terms of the risk of electrical injury.

Whatever method you choose to charge the battery bypassing the damaged socket, you will almost certainly have to contact service. It is better not to delay such treatment, because all “amateur” manipulations only increase the likelihood of damage to the battery. But if lack of time or money does not allow you to repair your phone immediately, knowing these useful methods will be very useful.

How to fix your phone charging socket

To repair a broken smartphone battery socket, you need the following tools:

• sharp thin knife or plastic card;
• several small Phillips screwdrivers;
• negative wire;
• new USB port;
• soldering iron;
• tweezers.

Please note that without the skill to repair gadget components, it will be quite difficult to fix the problem yourself. In addition, the user can easily damage the internal system of the smartphone.

Step-by-step instructions for repairing the charging socket:

1. We disassemble the body of the portable gadget using screwdrivers and a sharp thin knife or plastic card.
2. Be sure to solder the negative wire to the phone body, and connect the other end to the soldering iron. This action will help avoid electric shock.
3. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the device's motherboard in place.
4. Take out the unscrewed components.
5. Find the USB connector on the motherboard.
6. Carefully remove the broken charging socket using a soldering iron.
7. Solder a new USB port.

After completing all the steps, we assemble the mobile device into a single whole. If the instructions were followed correctly, the phone will charge without problems.

Ask a Question

Question to the expert

Is it possible to somehow get the all-in-one battery to charge the device using a frog?

Technically, it is quite possible to do this, but in practice I do not recommend doing something like this. Firstly, each charging of the phone will take a huge number of hours (disassembling the phone and reassembling it is not so easy and quick). Secondly, there is no guarantee that during any charging process you will not damage the device so badly that it can no longer be repaired.

Where can I buy a new USB port for my smartphone?

This part, like any components for portable gadgets, is quite rarely found in mass electronics markets. If there are no specialized stores with parts for mobile devices in your area, then you can contact any repair center for help.

Can direct charging harm the device's battery?

Yes, but it’s very easy. Be extremely careful and careful when using this method of charging your smartphone battery. In this case, first of all, you should think about how to protect yourself from electric shock.

None of the methods presented in the article helped, what should I do?

In this case, most likely, the problem lies not in the charging socket, but in the battery of the portable gadget itself. Here it is best to think about buying a new smartphone, since replacing a mobile phone battery is an extremely expensive operation and does not provide a 100% solution to the problem.

The socket does not work - what can you do first?

Initially, you should make sure that the socket is actually faulty. Sometimes the reason for the lack of charging lies only in poor contact, and in this case everything can be corrected with the least amount of time and effort.

To check, do the following:

• Connect the charging module to the device;
• Lightly move the cord in different directions to change the position of the plug;
• If a contact is detected, the correct position of the cable should be fixed. You can use a variety of objects and a variety of ways to hold the cord in place.

After fully charging, you should disconnect the cable and think about visiting the service center. The method outlined above does not eliminate the problem, but only offers a temporary solution. You should also make sure that the battery itself and the charger are working properly. If these components are in complete order, then to urgently recharge a smartphone with a non-working charging socket, you can use one of the methods described below.

Directly

The battery can also be recharged directly by connecting wires to it. But this is an unsafe method. Of course, nothing will explode. But the part may fail. Then the repair will cost many times more. If things don't go according to plan, you'll have to buy a new battery.

Here's how to charge your tablet if the connector is broken. One person can handle this. But it's better to call a partner. So, if you get an electric shock, they will help you.

1. Prepare the charging cable. Take an old and unnecessary wire. Before doing this, check its integrity.
2. Cut off the MicroUSB plug.

If treated this way, the battery will quickly become unusable. There is a risk that the part will break if connected directly. As a power source, you can use not only a power outlet and a computer’s USB port, but also another battery. Both devices must have the same specifications (power, current).

Now you know how to charge your tablet if the socket is broken. But do this as a last resort. Otherwise, you will “lose” not only the connector, but also the battery.

Ways to solve the problem

If you don’t have time to wait for the device to be repaired at the service center, then there are several ways to help keep your phone in working condition.

First, let's list these methods, and then give a breakdown:

• checking charging in different positions;
• charging directly;
• purchasing a special charging device.

Let's look at the first method, namely checking charging in different positions. It would seem that the socket is broken, which means that power will not reach the battery. But if you find a certain position, the mobile device will begin to charge. This method is inconvenient because it requires spending an indefinite amount of time and not achieving the desired result.

The second method is direct charging; the battery can be charged without the use of a socket. For this method, you need to cut off the plug from the charger cord and peel off the insulation. Then the cord cores must be connected to the battery terminals, and do not forget about the polarity. The disadvantage of this method is that certain knowledge of physics is required.

The most expensive way is to purchase a special device, which is popularly called a “frog” because of its shape. This is a universal charger, the use of which will not cause any difficulties. As for the disadvantages of this method, it requires certain investments and when the battery is charging, the mobile device itself is turned off.

Problem with the “teeth” of the charging cable

• Wireless charger. It is connected to an outlet. It sends an electromagnetic signal to the battery "receiver".
• Actually, the “receiver” itself. If it is not built into the battery, it must be purchased separately. Just don’t choose a part that connects through the charging port - it’s broken.

How to choose a service center

It is best to give the phone to a branded service of the same brand as the device. Maintenance certificates are required. View reviews of the selected service on the website.

Initially, a mobile phone was a simple device for making calls. Now it is a multifunctional device, without which a person will not be so comfortable. If used carelessly, the power socket sometimes breaks. In this case, you should know how to repair the phone's charging connector or charge it in another way.
