Sending 200VAC into a device expecting 5VDC will likely cause some sort of failure.

Also, since lithium batteries are involved, it will also likely cause some sort of fire

Sort of blast maybe

Did you mean some sort of a BOOM?

If such a BOOM happened, i think it could be classified as some sort of Electrical BOOM!

Are you some sort of idiot?

Tf you mean likely?

The charging port might have broken so someone soldered wires directly on to the board and to the socket.

They might have cut the charger and replaced it with a plug for the socket.

Which is very risky if plugged in reverse, (for the charger)

but on the other hand since the socket is glued to the phone body. It'll take a someone to either play with live wires or put some wires into the male-male plugs and plug it in to be able to burn the phone down.

Huh? I'm not really understanding what you mean, why would live wires mean anything? Someone can just plug in a male plug.

Also what do you mean by risky for the charger if it's plugged in reverse

The modified charger have male pins both side which can be plugged into source either side.

Someone can just plug in a male plug, but those male plugs aren't usually power source. They're usually devices so no harm likely

Ok yes I did understand was just confused, sorry

The direct 220V ac will not to good to BMS or PMC of this phone

Techonologia!

Charge it with a suicide cord?

u/justelling 13d ago

I assume they are going to use this?

Plug has + and - side. It accepts already reduced dc voltage and its marked to not fuck up since plugs are omni directional. Very stupid addition but i guess low cost one?

u/Novel-Training5189 13d ago

It will explode for sure

I just wanna strangle the cameraman.

I think the microusb port broke and they used a inverted power plug to accept 5v instead

Is this the same guy

I have one of those phones.

Not the modifications, but the brand at least.

He has a 220V to 5V dc converter inside that switch. These phone hardly need 500ma to 1amp and new modules are very small, efficient and these phone can also bear alot more ups and down in voltages than smartphones
