mOrE URGENT HELP WATED - Have I fried my Nexus One?

Hi guys,
I stupidly plugged my Nexus One USB cable into a higher voltage charger in my car, about 8v-10v I think, and I could immediately smell burning. I unplugged it straight away and the phone died. The result was;
1. I could no longer charge it off the wall charger or computer USB charger, just got zero response, no led's etc.. seemed as though the phone was totally gone.
2. Then I took the battery out and charged it in my external battery charger. When I put the battery back in the phone it turned on and worked perfectly!!! although the battery didn't seem to last as long.
3. When it was powered on an working, it wouldn't pick up the USB connection to my PC. Did nothing.
So.... it seems as though the USB port is obviously not working. Would this be the extent of the damage or would it be something more serious in the phone?
Would the official Google dock allow me to charge the phone and connect it to my computer given that it uses the 3 pin method and not the USB?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Morgan

Ahhhh the smell of a resistor going. And within a circuit when one major component goes it will drag some others with it. Which could explain short battery life. Back up your stuff. And look into your options to replace device. Unless you have extencesive knowlege on micro surface mounted printed circuit board components and measureing values.
good day.

I don't have any knowledge of circuit boards so is there any other options to repairing this device? It is basically brand new!
Is there any chance that a dock would allow me to charge it?
If not, can I replace the main board? I disassembled it yesterday and know how to change it out.

Just guessing, but no. The cooked components for the charging circuit would also be in parallel to the dock port.

If you can find someone to sell it to you. yes

[Q] Battery pinout HTC one S

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know the battery pinout for the HTC one s battery? My phone had water damage and seems to be completely bricked. The battery itself seems to be allright (+- 3 volt over the pins measured on the battery itself), but I would like to find out whether the circuit attached to the battery is still ok. However when measuring any of the wires coming out of the circuit, I see no voltage whatsoever. Does anyone know the function of the circuit attached to the battery or the pinout of the wires? (I've added an image of the wires coming out of the circuit)
Thanks a lot,
Daniël

Does anyone have an idea? Our maybe another forum/website where I might find the answer?

There is a post from someone in the general section staying they installed a new one x battery. Maybe she them a pm asking about your question?

Has Exploding charger ruined my HTC?

Hi all, I am hoping there is an Egg head of epic proportions can help.
I had my sensation plugged into a griffin duel car charger which went pop.
The phone works fine if I use a battery charged with an external battery charger but -
when plugged into a wall charger the led is solid orange and the battery indicator animates charging, however the battery will go flat just as it would if not plugged in.
When plugged into the laptop the charging situation is the same as above but the laptop cannot see the phone at all.
I am not against taking it apart and changing a bit but cannot find any other similar problem on the internet.
Any help at all would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
K

What do you mean with 'went pop'?
Sounds like your (mini-)USB-board is broken.

To clarify the Griffin in car duel usb charger went pop. I opened it up and a tiny tin can on the circuit board had exploded. From then on the phone has the described problem. If it is the mini usb board is it fixable or replacable?
Thanks for your advice

Yes is fixable search teardown guide on youtube and you will see how to remove motherboard, if not you can at least boot in FASTBOOT USB?

Do you think i need to replace the whole motherboard? I was hoping for a cheaper fix if possible.

Don't know if your phone work you can look at the lines that are used to. Connect motherboard to the charger connection

Wireless Charging Accessories

Has or does anyone know how or a way to have a wireless Charging Accessory with an extended battery like the Zero Lemon 10,000mAh? I'm thinking about soldering longer wires.

I have the TQTHL extended battery and I don't think so. Before I swapped out the original battery I looked at doing that too. It looked like the coil was under the wrap of the battery itself. I thought it too dangerous to cut it open.
My previous phone was a Galaxy III. It had the contacts but they never offered the option. I was able to buy the add-on on eBay and tack-solder some 30ga wire to the coil between the extended battery and it's replacement back. Worked well enough. Just had to be really careful when removing the cover.

I was hoping to just solder into the pads and just solder longer wires to the pins on the back of the phone. I'm just not sure by extending the wires will I actually get any charge or nothing at all because of the loss in power through the extended cable

The Galaxy III had springs contacts on the phone and little 1 mm^3 tabs on the coil/circuit board.
My Note 4 ( SM-N910T on T-Mobile in the US) has several groups of such spring contacts. I was looking for the receiver on eBay. Most seem to be for a different variant of the phone. If you can find the correct one for your phone, you should be able to extend wires to the receiver.

I found the receiver, I think they are all univeral between the note 4. It uses five pins. I'm just not great at soldering because of my eyes, and unsure if after I do this I will actually get chqrge, loss in the extended wires and the pins are so close I don't want to short anything out. I can't find a schematic or a pin out diagram.

First step is to buy the pad and receiver and test with the original battery. On eBay in the US, the pair are around $15 USD.
If that works, then you're on to the customize task. I have an adjustable temperature "rework" soldering station. If you're not comfortable soldering, I have no advice.
Best of luck.

Oh also how did it go lol

It's not that I want to charge a battery of this size wirelessly, I just wanted to add the functionality. I found the charging pad on eBay and just soldered some wires. It actually works surprisingly for my handiwork. Although it would take an entire week to charge...

Imagine waiting one week... Anyway can you post a picture because I know that there are pins in the back for wireless charging capability and you can buy a product to attach it to the pins and it should work. But with the extended battery (at least mine) not all the pins are exposed.
So I'm very interested in how it looks.
