Hello. I normally leave my original G5 charger at home because the power strip it is normally plugged into is in an awkward location to mess with often. I have an original G3 charger with me at work along with a Kinps-brand USB 3.1 type C cable I got from Amazon. I am wondering if this is a safe charging setup to use. Ampere shows that the current varies as normal when charging, when the battery was at a lower percentage it was as high as 2100mA / 4.39V and it has dropped down as the battery fills. The original charger for the G3 if I recall was somewhat of an almost-fast-charger rated @ 5V = 1.8A. If anyone here could help me I'd appreciate that.
Thanks.

Hemmm i've forget a thing..
The PDA Charges only 1 time at boot.. why?
I've cortocircuited pins 1 and 2, with the male usb jack in front of you and the white plastic in the low side.
very nice ... what's the usb port for?
The phone will only charge once because you will need to short pins 4 and 5 on the mini USB side of your connector.
To simplify, the TyTN looks for this short to decide what to do with the USB connection. You need to trick it into thinking that the USB cable is a charger.
There's another thread on this somewhere else. It might be a bit difficult to solder, but it'll work.
Oh. One more thing: Your phone will charge more than just the once (after a reboot)... It should also charge if it's turned off (standby). Might take a minute or so, but it should work.
does anyone know which hole is the + and - of the battery?
the label is very misleading.
the + should be at the first from the left,
but where's the - suppose to be? last from the right? or second last from the right?
thanks in advance, i really need to know, its important
big thanks for any reply

First and Last.
If you are really worried, go get a 3.3V DC FAN from your hardware store, then just stick the two wires there, when it starts to spin, you know which is which.
Volt meter is another good way.
Are you going to use the BMS?
Thanks for the info, will try it.
What's a BMS?
The reason I want to know the +&- is because this is my spare battery and I need to know the polarity in order to use the external charger to charge it.
Had an issue where my prime would not charge properly. Cable worked fine plugging into PC, it recognized the prime, etc... but wasn't charging as fast as it used to while in the brick..I had been on charger directly plugged into tablet for two days (wouldn't charge at all while plugged into the dock and tablet mounted to dock) went from 4%-91% researched and found the following charger/plug at Radio Shack and it works like a charm. Chargin tablet and dock connected together with no issues. Dock is at 0% tablet at 91% just plugged it in and will let you know how long it takes to bring both to 100%.

I've been using my Arc 10HD as a picture frame for the last few years going all day, plugged in all the time,
and recently I've noticed that the picture slideshow would stop randomly and found out it was ghost touches.
The reason was because the batteries inside started swelling a bit and it was pressing on the screen from the back,
so I took it apart and removed the charging board from in between the 2 battery cells and wired it to regular
rechargeable AA batteries giving me ~ 3.8v each and got it working 100% again ...

Now it's just a matter of ordering new cells, wiring it into the charging board and I should be ok ...
I guess the new cells would have their own charging board, but shouldn't
hurt anything to wire them into the one I salvaged from the unit.
This battery should do, I'll just order 2 of them:

What do you guys think?
Hi,
I replaced the usb-c charging ribbon (illustration below):

}
and now phone won't charge. Tested on 2 ribbons and 2 LeMax2 phones.
Behavior after installing new ribbon: I can see that phone draws 0,04A (measured) from the charger. Strangely UI shows charging current to be above 1A.
Interesting observation made - after disconnecting battery, re-connecting battery, then plugging usb-c cable, the charging starts. Current (measured) is above 1A. But the moment I turn on the phone, the charging drops to 0,04A.
Just like there's some software thing going on, phone communicating with charging chip (?) on the ribbon and telling it that it's unauthorized (?) for this phone. Old charging ribbon works fine (but socket is worn out). I'd appreciate any hints about how to "teach" the phone that new charging ribbon is fine.
Regards,
T.
