Hi everyone,
I bought a Note 3 with a charging issue. The ex owner says it didn't power one morning and refused to charge.
I search on the web and found lots of fixes to this issue. From the toothbrush to forced charge using a old usb cable or 9v battery. It's pretty obvious that if I'm here they were not enough. What put me onto the right track was a youtube video of a dude who had a usb connector problem and striped the usb wired, not to connect straight on the battery but on the wireless charger pins as they are connected to the battery as well.
I tough it could come from the pin connector, and grabbed my multimeter to check for a continuity from the pin connector to the wireless pins.
here is what I found out:
Red is open circuit Black is closed (being french it was first posted on a french website)
Investigating further this is what I see:
Up to now it could have been a dead pin connector or soldering of the positive lead. But here we go, it would have been too simple! :-D
The positive is still connected to somewhere apparently:
Anyone have a idea of the actual problem?
Any help will be more than welcome!
