Hack to charge a Nexus 7 with a loose plug

[Laurent Duperval]

Hi,

During a plane ride my Nexus 7 fell and since then the charging slot has become loose so that when I plug the cable, nothing happens.

I have ordered a Qi charger in the meantime but won't get before going on a 14 hour flight. It's there a way I can charge my N7 so that I get to use it on my flight?

If course, I could always just watch the movies they offer on the plane but...

Thanks,

L

I can't think of any way to do it short of taking the tablet apart. Are you able to purchase a Qi charger at a retail store somewhere?

No, I tried but couldn't find one. That's why I had to order it online.

Oh well... Thanks,

L
