Touchdown! Greaser!
You know you are a geek when...you lose your cell phone charger on Christmas day and no stores are open. You don't want to have to wait an entire day to buy a charger.
So you...
Take the phone apart to figure out the polarity of the charging port.
Solder new wires onto the port.
Hot glue the charging port to prevent it from shorting out with each other.
Check the manufactures website to try to get the charger voltage. No luck. You go online and read about lithium poly batteries and how they are charged.
Come up with a power source that produces about the correct voltage based on your guesstimation after reading.
Charge it.
Remove the hot glue.
Unsolder the wires
Clean up the connector.
..and you now have a fully charged phone!!
