Do you know that most of this chargers we threw away when they stop working can be repaired, YES they can be repaired even at the comfort of your home. Most of this dead charger is coursed by weak or dead power capacitors, every Mobile chargers have power capacitors and they have different values (although of them have the same voltage which is 400v). They are located at the output of the rectifier in all Mobile chargers.
You can also replace it with a higher value capacitor...
.
Instead of westing 2k, you can buy this capacitor with just N150 and replace it even at home.

Here is how I replace mine

1500 Naira? What if na charger wey I buy 500 Naira?

Nothing dey shock u again abi

Very nice piece, the capacitor he got is bigger than the space the charger has hence, he could not put the cover. I learnt something new thanks Chief

N150 no 1500.

You can buy it in any electrical shop or Amazon (although they sell in large quantities)

Yes is true, that is the challenge at times! Sometimes even the same value can be bigger than the other...

Haba, I have been in electronics for so long. I know where to touch and where not to touch lolz

Nice1 mehn I just so muchly admired your courage on dealing with this electronics circuit and components! Keep it up and do more and more research, sky will be your limits.

Be careful. Using a wrong charger can spoil your battery and blow up your phone.

Nice one

No o! That is just power capacitors, the transformer is already ahead to step it down.. the value in-between the two capacitors is not much, any electrician can recommend it

Thank you bro...

Dry chargers shall rise again

I have a soldering iron but it doesn't melt the lead easily. Why?

You can change or replace the element, or check if the welding tip is Aluminum, if it is iron and can attract to magnet, it will not work.

Learnt this late year after thrashing 5 different chargers within 2 months. The one I'm presently using, had it capacitors changed and it's working perfectly.

Yes, thank God you knew earlier, but still mind you that this procedure is for most chargers (although it is the most common problemi in Mobile chargers) but sometimes the damage can be several, which means you are not changing only power capacitor but other components as well.
.
Thanks

It is not only a capacitor that is affected.The IC;s got blown too.Most especially with all this i-better-pass-my-neighbour generators.What you should do is to reduce the voltage of your generator and switch on your bulbs so that it can minimise the high voltage that always result to surge in your charger's components.

Yes that is the "several" damage! Most times it's just the capacitor that is affected, my awareness here is for us to always check before throwing them into the dustbin... It can be problem we can solve rather than westing another 2k buying a new charger... 85% of this problem is power "Capacitors" believe me

Poverty must die

Who get money no Dey think of repairing ordinary charger

How much be charger sef wey you still wan repair


Meanwhile I’ll fix your faulty gadgets eg laptop iPhones Samsung and transsion phones at affordable prices

A trial will convince you

This is not actually about poverty, it's fun and same time a repair that will not take you up to 30 Mins to fix.

That's how one self acclaimed engineer help me fixed my charger, I used it to charge my phone but it destroyed the panel, I couldn't use charger again, I was only using Desktop

I think it's iron. What do I do?

Ehya, sorry for the experience. The thing is most engineer don't pay attention to that capacitor value. If it is actually the capacitor that is dead, there is no way it will destroy your phone when u use recommended value.

.
Ex: 2.2 to 3.7 microfarad can go, 6.7 to 8 microfarad can go,, remember all power capacitors voltage is 400v. If is More than or lesser than, wahala go de o

It is not only the metallic tip that matters, using a soldering LEAD of good quality also matters.

Yes you are right though, but i use my aluminum welding tip for any kind of soldering lead, and it's giving me what I want.

Finally!
