first off i would like to say hi to everyone as this is my first post. My phone was not listed (or else i couldn't find it, not sure, still getting the hang of this site) and this one was the closest one i could find. i have a samsung galaxy PREVAIL (sph-M820). My micro usb port just broke today and i was trying to think of a way to charge it without having to buy something. I have seen a few posts about cutting a usb cord and attaching the wires to the pins on the phone with the battery removed to turn the phone on. My question is, if i do this then put the battery in will the battery charge? i don't have a lot of electronic know how, but i don't really see why this couldn't work.

Thank you for your help.

please dont do that

if ur port is just unsoldered from the board. re attach it with some solder

soldering iron is a good investment
get some flux

if its busted compleatly also buy a micro usb port and do this

if its on the cable just buy a male instead of female

total cost withoht iron [lesd than 10 dollars]
with iron less than 20

shop around

anything worth fixing is worth fixing right

your idea, if a wire slips, fried phone.

wanna spend 20 or risk buying a new phone? retorical
