If some one tell fake . .. don't take it personal ....just ignore. You are a nice and a TRUE knowledge person. :) kudos to you cheers. Amazing simple video.
My phone is now charging and you are awesome. Thank you for not only explaining the problem but demonstrating a viable work around. I had no idea how sophisticated these batteries internal protections are. Don't let the nay-sayers get you down. There are a LOT of useless videos on UA-cam pertaining to this topic. I wasted my life on three before I found this one.
I am a technician this is not fake. He is correct this does work. The battery has an electronic circuit inside to stop them from going to zero volts. This is also what happens to laptop batteries but because you cannot open the laptop battery it is harder to jump start if not impossible. Sometimes, in a laptop, it will be only one of the cells that go low. You cannot open laptop batteries without damaging the battery case. If you leave them in storage they can go below the recharge line. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you, this was very informative. I was able to resuscitate a Samsung Note 3 that had been unused for about 4 years. I ended up charging the battery a lot longer than depicted in the video. But in the end I got there. I think the battery was reading about 3.8V when the phone finally came on (first reading after "waking" the battery was 2.5V). When I was charging my battery, I kept my voltmeter connected to the contacts, which gave me real-time battery voltage level. That was really helpful to keep an eye on the charging process.
Your patient in that heat was admirable and the safety you stressed was appreciated, don’t let the haters bother you so much, you seem like a trust worthy person.
Great explanation! My problem is I broke the micro USB connector on the phone and was looking how to fix it, but I stayed all the way to the end of this clip because it was very educational. Thanks.
@@UltimateDIY I did it but now my phone is just coming on the galaxy screen then going off on it's own and then again the screen comes out and this goes on what shall I do
Yer dog was tryin to tell me something but I don't speak his language. 🤔🤨 Awesome job explaining this you make it a clear relaxing and easy to understand topic. Salute!
It was explained extemely well and I am very grateful to you; also found it was deminstrated so well that I was able to follow you since simple terms and slowly explained. Thank you so much. I wish all other videos were done similar to yours.
It worked! Thank you so much, I thought I had to look for and buy a new phone battery, now it's not necessary, the old one is fine, it just needed a jump start.
This is SUCH GREAT INFORMATION! And the same principle works with different kinds of batteries and phones--I just used it to jumpstart my Samsung Galaxy 8 active battery after prying open the phone. The phone store probably would have tried to sell me a new phone! Doing this makes you feel empowered! ;)

Seen a few videos on this. Some say be careful and then they look like they have a plane to catch. Like how you followed steps and have respect for what you're illustrating.
I came back to do this video see if it could fixed old phone that is a old phone that is a touch screen and same for a tablet because this one device always back out at last three times and gets back on affer all the times of going black and i guess it still charging but i think it kinda would need to be fixed just like the phone so maybe i do a reset to see if it helps.
My *Samsung Galaxy Note 1* Was Dead. I Havent Even Used It Since 2016. But This Video Is Super Helpful!! Thanks For This Video And It Worked!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received a new battery but the phone is still not turning on. The last (-) pin with (+) shows 0v, other 2 (-) pins that are in middle shows 3.70v. Its normal?
@@UltimateDIY I have the same as in the video. The battery has 4 pins. 3 (-) and 1 (+). When I check the last (-), which is closer to the side with (+) shows 0v and the other 2 (-) in middle with (+) shows 3.7v.
That is what I try to say. The fact that is has 4 pins does not mean it has the same configuration for them. As long as you get 3.7V between 2 of them, then your battery has a good charge. But without seing myself I can't give you any advice.
Nice one. Resurrected my 10yr old Nokia battery that I'm charging to use on a DIY GSM network using a software-defined radio. I seriously thought the battery would be toast after living in a drawer for several years.
Great video, ive used this process with my dewalt tools. Old batteries were "shot" so i hooked the old battery up to my newer 20v battery for a very short time. It resurrected the old battery Im going to try your prrocess on a samsung a23 that has the same symptoms. Thanks for sharing
@@UltimateDIY just wanted to update you and once again thank you. I just finished jump starting my battery out of a galaxy a21s (a215u). The phone would flash the charging circle for a second and go black screen. Using your steps I found the battery was at 2.01v and I rigged my multimeter up while I tapped into a USB power brick charger. Once it hit 3.7v I disconnected and tried the regular plug in charger. It's ALIVE! . Thanks again
Great and helpful video. On another video I watched, the guy recommended holding the red & black wires against the battery points for about 5 minutes to get it charged properly
The actual required duration depends on many factors, so it's impossible to give an exact number. For some 5 minutes cound be perfect, for others not enough or worst case too much.
Worked like magic. Have an old Xperia X10 in my drawer that refused to start charging, even if the battery is like 3.6V. After a few tries with this, it started charging.
@@UltimateDIY thank you I'm testing it right now I just finished holding the wires to it and have plugged it into the phone charger however if you don't mind I dont know how long I leave it on the charger before attempting to turn it on
Hi, good video. I have a problem with the batteries on my wife's LumeaPercision Philips device (light epliator). The case there is that there are 2 separate batteries but they are connected in a pack. If I heard you correctly I have to charge each individually, right ?
bro i cut 2 usb cables but they have 4 wires and not 2 as in the video ( those wires in your hand in 9:06 ) . in 1 cable there is 3 white and 1red . and in the other there is 1white,1grey,1pink,1light green how can i charge that into my battery? (reply fast pls)
Instead of using a computer as a power source for the jump start, can i use a regular wall outlet or maybe my laptop? I just dont have a computer tower.😊
Phones now don't allow to have access to the battery. My Motorola Moto G5S plus battery is dying. And I can't find an original battery. Probably, I'll have to use it permanently connected to a powerbank. What do you think ?
That is the sad reality. Phones are much harder to keep working for many years, even if the hardware is still good enough. I would try to find an aftermarket battery that has good reviews.
@@UltimateDIY Yes, the hardware is still working very fine. Can play everything. I think the industry is forcing us to purchase a new phone every 2 years. I can't afford to do that nor it's necessary. My phones are always brand as new. I use to collect things, and I know how to preserve. I hate having to purchase the same thing twice. Instead, I would like to purchase another thing I need. The industry is a criminal.
There is no safe or proper way of rescuing Lithium batteries that drop below 2.7 to 2.6v, this is because when a lithium battery drops below a certain amount the chemistry is forever changed in the battery. Most of the time you end up with a battery that will not hold charge after a small to medium amount of charges, or they can even explode. If you don't mind the possibility of a exploding mobile phone, then get a universal batter charger that has adjustable pins and can charge pretty much all the batteries on the market, they only cost around $3 to $5 from Ali Express, Banggood, or any other Chinese site.
This is partially correct, but there are several big channels on youtube that tested revived lithium and had 0 failures or loss of capacity. So, I really don't know what to say about this matter.
@@UltimateDIY it's a little more communicated than that. Basically you have 3 pin or 4 pin batteries, most genuine batteries will use protection circuits using mosets, diodes and resistors to prevent overcharge, overheating and even cut off when a battery dips below a certain voltage (when the chemistry changes) now when you see 0 volts, often this is not the real value, and often why when charging within seconds it jumps from 0 to 2.7 or above. So some PCB protection boards prevent you seeing the real value. A battery that has discharged to 2v or below will definitely have some internal damage to the chemistry, at this point, I would consider the battery dangerous and the severity is based on the capacity of the battery, since a 800mah battery will likely just smoke or die, while a 4,400mah battery can smoke of explode, the energy in higher batteries is far more worse.
Thanks I was thinking about to do this, but I didn't actually needed it because I had 2 phone batteries with like 2,8V. And the battery logo didn't appear while charging. So I assumed that the batteries were dead. But yeah they weren't 0,0V so charging it with the correct adapter did the trick for me. It only took long though to get it to work which was at 3,8V. Thanks for showing this I might use it in the future.
Lol atm 1 battery doesn't wanna charge any further at 3,2v and then it goes down to 3V via USB normal charging. The other battery was actually at 3,8V and it turned on (but it crashed a lot of times due to water inside before), but I noticed I actually charged it with the wrong adapter which also was kinda identical to another phone of mine. That phone was useless to me anyways and I'm gonna throw that one away.
I've just charged the battery to 3,8V with doing your method with the original adapter instead of the PC, but it doesn't still charge after it. Every time if I charge it when the battery is into the phone the voltage will be lowered. On the battery itself there is 3,8V and also 4,35V but I assume that is the max. So idk what is wrong with it why it just won't charge after 3,8V. I've changed the USB cable and tried to charge it on the PC / original adapter.
Yes that must be it. Yesterday it was 3,8V and it went down to 3V. The battery was only into the phone. So I was thinking about to buy a new battery. Ty for saying this, because it probably will be the same if I bought a new battery.
there is a tip. if you dont want to sacrifice a USB cable than pluug a usb cable into your laptop or pc and let it connect to your phone(battery inserted.). sometimes this do the trick without cutting a USB cable.
@@UltimateDIY i knew about 12v and other auto and marine deepcycle. i did not think to apply it to cordless no. but i have a pile and will see. Cellular not at all. but we get insurance on devices anyway. so why mess with it. However other freinds do not. i wil use this soon
Very informative, thank you. I didn't know that the Li-Ion batteries were that "smart." Here is a challenge for you that you might find interesting: Some phones have the contacts for a wireless charging pad to put inside the phone but the wireless charging pad is no longer available. I tried connecting a wireless charging pad made for a Galaxy S3 to my LG G4 with no success. How easy would it be to make your own wireless charging pad? Is it just a dumb loop? How many turns? Or is there a single diode? Or perhaps a FWBR? I tried searching with no luck and was not going to destroy my Galaxy S3 wireless charging pad to find out.
Thank you for watching. I think it needs some electronics to controll it. For a phone that does not have this option there are aftermarket pads that you just plug in the micro usb port. Although that uses the port so you are stuck with wireless charging.
I have a phone and the charging port is not working I want to take a 5 volt AC charger and make it into a do-it-yourself battery charger and charge the battery outside the phone have you done that do you have a video on that
Hi. In theory yes, but it cat be dangerous, as the battery will provide high current. So you would need to do the connection only for a really short period of time and even then it's risky.
@@UltimateDIY I did the cable technic but it didn't work...it started making weird noises (the computer).I unplugged it puted the battery on the phone and it started smoking and now its damaged
timestamps would be super helpful if possible :) Would double charging from a split usb lead and a direct charge through the port at the same time help?
I enjoyed the video greatly! I was browsing videos of how to replace the charge port (didn't have to do that thankfully), but liked the demonstration that you gave, would've liked to see the doggie (haha), I understood your graph, and it's been many years since engineering school for me, but it makes sense. Out of curiosity, what is/are your native languages? I'll browse some of your other videos, this one was worth the 20 minutes.
I did this but I have a question, I thought it might be my battery the issue but now I'm not quite sure, maybe you know: So, I bought a new battery anmd the phone didn't turn on, when I plugged the charger with the battery on nothing happened, it didnt even hot warm while charging. Nooow, when I plug the phone (after doing what you did here) the phone gets warm, but no sign of turning on (The screen is dead, so it's harder to see if something actually going on), my question being, do you know what could be the cause of this?
Maybe you have a solution. I tried this method for days now. I have an LG Ultimate 2 that stayed in my drawer for years since I upgraded to Samsung since 2019. The battery just will not charge. I jumped it and stopped at 3.90 volts. I kept it on the charger all day when I went to work. I deduced the phone was not the problem as it responds to a battery not inside it, but won't boot. I went the extra mile and bought a universal charger, and even a wireless charging pad and receiver, AND another battery. Even that battery won't boot the phone. But the wireless receiver responds to it on the phone, though it will say 0% and cut off. I'm out of options and wasted money.
@@UltimateDIY What a worse case scenario. Alright. In an extreme scenario, is it possible to transplant the internal memory to a working phone of the same model? I assume a professional will potentially do something like that.
Sir is it work for lg g4 h815... Its not dead but wont taking charge and wont power on but its still vibrates when i tap the power key and when its connected to charger its notification light blinks and display has white soft light no logo not showing charging information nothing happens..... plzzzzz can you solve my problem sir....
Thank You for your time & knowledge good tutorial buddy just found spare heavy duty USB cable to modify & will try on my old Laptop battery as guessing same actions will apply but take longer to get it to chargeable level
@@UltimateDIY Thanks I know but mine is refurbished but he did-not charge the rechargeable cells 1by1 b4 installation which in another video I saw on YT while ago said he should have & secret is to now trickle charge it so I will use an battery box with leads own jumper leads takes aa aaa & C batteries + 6-12V In/Output & so failing that just remove all cells & charge them in my multi rechargeable battery - charging unit & reassemble later lot of work but laptop is immaculate & even has a remote control for watching movies on big screens via HDMI & not risk losing my new Notebook when away from home
Sadly I tried that too a few times and it did not work. The problem is that most laptop electronics flag the battery as bad, even after a single cell goes once below the minimum safe voltage and even if you charge them individually, the electronics is still locked. You need to reflash the electronics. But this depends a lot on battery manufacturer and model. You can try, maybe you are lucky, but be really, really, really careful with laptop cells, as they can cause a fire quite easily if you do anything wrong, even after you put it back together.
I know what your doing works. Ive done the same thing with cordless tool batteries and hit them for a couple of seconds, with a higher power source of course.
@Mohammed Kiani My Samsung Note Pro SMP-900 went into a short boot loop where the samsung logo would come up for 1 second then the tablet would go off. I couldnt get to any of the usual pages to do the download or the page where you can do the wipe of the cache. I tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing worked. Then I changed the good battery in my Samsung phone for an old one and trhat phone went into a boot loop right away. So the dead battery caused it to boot loop. When I put the newer battery back min it worked fine and booted up normally. So I ordered a new battery for the Note-Pro SMP-900 and I think it should boot up normally or at least take me to the screen that will allow me to correct the booting problem. I hope that helps and when I get the new battery I will let you know if it solved the problem.
Just to be clear my Samsung S4 phone works normally even tho it is old. I put the weak battery from another S4 phone into my Samsung S4 phone and it went into a boot loop. When I put the good battery that was in my S4 phone back in the phone it booted up normally SO A WEAK BATTERY THAT WONT HOLD A CHARGE WILL CAUSE THE PHONE TO BOOT LOOP. I am going to change the battery in the 12" Note Pro Tablet and see if that solves the issues of boot looping on that device.I will let you know. I should be here in the next couple of days. So look for my message very soon.
My Samsung Note Pro SM-P900 (2015) was totally bricked and it is now working fine with a new operating system. If you are still in need of help let me know and I will give you the info to get yours working again.
ua-cam.com/video/1MdCdyax3do/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Q0To5QRR950/v-deo.html Go to these 2 websites The first one is the one I used to un-Brick my Tablet. It has a robotic voice talking but it is the best video I found and it works. If you have questions let me know. The second one tells you how to get the software and download the extraction program and the Odin program. Odin is actually in the tool bar of the extraction program. Its very important that you download the proper OS for your device. If you watch the videos carefully you can save your device. I did and mine was bricked pretty hard.
Hi, thank you for the video. I have a Samsung A40 which won't turn on or charge. I charged the battery manually just like you did, but when I try to measure voltage I get 0 volts. If the battery is dead, how come it draws amperage? Is that normal? Thank you again!
In my case, I got 0.22 volts even though I hold the wires for minutes and when the multimeter tips are touching the pins (+ and - ) suddenly the voltage is set back to zero What am I doing wrong?

There is no safe or proper way of rescuing Lithium batteries that drop below 2.7 to 2.6v, this is because when a lithium battery drops below a certain amount the chemistry is forever changed in the battery. Most of the time you end up with a battery that will not hold charge after a small to medium amount of charges, or they can even explode. If you don't mind the possibility of a exploding mobile phone, then get a universal batter charger that has adjustable pins and can charge pretty much all the batteries on the market, they only cost around $3 to $5 from Ali Express, Banggood, or any other Chinese site.
This is partially correct, but there are several big channels on youtube that tested revived lithium and had 0 failures or loss of capacity. So, I really don't know what to say about this matter.
@@UltimateDIY it's a little more communicated than that. Basically you have 3 pin or 4 pin batteries, most genuine batteries will use protection circuits using mosets, diodes and resistors to prevent overcharge, overheating and even cut off when a battery dips below a certain voltage (when the chemistry changes) now when you see 0 volts, often this is not the real value, and often why when charging within seconds it jumps from 0 to 2.7 or above. So some PCB protection boards prevent you seeing the real value. A battery that has discharged to 2v or below will definitely have some internal damage to the chemistry, at this point, I would consider the battery dangerous and the severity is based on the capacity of the battery, since a 800mah battery will likely just smoke or die, while a 4,400mah battery can smoke of explode, the energy in higher batteries is far more worse.
Is it work for lithium polymer that battery was only attached/detached to circuit board?
As long as you can make contact on the charging pads it should work.
Thank you it really worked and my old phone revived, I didn't sacrifice my usb cable for nothing hahaha
You are welcome
At 19:13 the battery is out of sight for a split second. A swap was plausible ?
But you will never know 😜
Hi , do you think it will work on a iPhone without disconnecting the battery ?
I have no idea.
Many thanks for posting this. I will give it a try in the morning and post the feedback.
Welcome! Hope it works for you.
What if I buy a new battery, will ut work?
If the battery is too discharged, obviously a new one will make the phone start.
Thanks I was thinking about to do this, but I didn't actually needed it because I had 2 phone batteries with like 2,8V.
And the battery logo didn't appear while charging. So I assumed that the batteries were dead.
But yeah they weren't 0,0V so charging it with the correct adapter did the trick for me.
It only took long though to get it to work which was at 3,8V.
Thanks for showing this I might use it in the future.
Lol atm 1 battery doesn't wanna charge any further at 3,2v and then it goes down to 3V via USB normal charging.
The other battery was actually at 3,8V and it turned on (but it crashed a lot of times due to water inside before), but I noticed I actually charged it with the wrong adapter which also was kinda identical to another phone of mine. That phone was useless to me anyways and I'm gonna throw that one away.
I've just charged the battery to 3,8V with doing your method with the original adapter instead of the PC, but it doesn't still charge after it. Every time if I charge it when the battery is into the phone the voltage will be lowered. On the battery itself there is 3,8V and also 4,35V but I assume that is the max. So idk what is wrong with it why it just won't charge after 3,8V. I've changed the USB cable and tried to charge it on the PC / original adapter.
I think the charging circuitry is your phone is defective.
Yes that must be it. Yesterday it was 3,8V and it went down to 3V. The battery was only into the phone. So I was thinking about to buy a new battery. Ty for saying this, because it probably will be the same if I bought a new battery.
Yup ☹️
there is a tip. if you dont want to sacrifice a USB cable than pluug a usb cable into your laptop or pc and let it connect to your phone(battery inserted.). sometimes this do the trick without cutting a USB cable.
how do you do this with a modern smart phone battery ?
You can't, sadly. The connector is too small and you also don't know the pinout.
thanks tons man
it worked. I found out the hard way that the problem was in the connectivity
Welcome!
Same theory apllies with Cordless tool batteries. What happens is battery eventually drops below what charger wants to see to charge.
Thank you for the info. Did not have a cordless tool do that until now.
@@UltimateDIY i knew about 12v and other auto and marine deepcycle. i did not think to apply it to cordless no. but i have a pile and will see. Cellular not at all. but we get insurance on devices anyway. so why mess with it. However other freinds do not. i wil use this soon
hey I have a question if my phone are not being turn on for a long time like several years will the picture or the memory in the phone will be lost?
No, they will not be lost.
My battery has only 3 squares, where should I place red and black wire? Which one should be placed where? My ➖ is on left side and ➕ on right.
Use the indicated polarity from the battery. Red wire should be on + and black wire on -
@@UltimateDIY thank you
It's working! THANK YOU!
Welcome!
my phone has not been on 7-8 possibly 10 years
Very informative, thank you. I didn't know that the Li-Ion batteries were that "smart." Here is a challenge for you that you might find interesting: Some phones have the contacts for a wireless charging pad to put inside the phone but the wireless charging pad is no longer available. I tried connecting a wireless charging pad made for a Galaxy S3 to my LG G4 with no success. How easy would it be to make your own wireless charging pad? Is it just a dumb loop? How many turns? Or is there a single diode? Or perhaps a FWBR? I tried searching with no luck and was not going to destroy my Galaxy S3 wireless charging pad to find out.
Thank you for watching. I think it needs some electronics to controll it. For a phone that does not have this option there are aftermarket pads that you just plug in the micro usb port. Although that uses the port so you are stuck with wireless charging.
I have done this. In fact, I'm doing it right now. it works.
Great!
I have a phone and the charging port is not working I want to take a 5 volt AC charger and make it into a do-it-yourself battery charger and charge the battery outside the phone have you done that do you have a video on that
You need dedicated lithium battery charging electronics for this.
Hi! Can you plz help me? I have the same problem but I dont have a cable sooo I wanted to ask.... can I do it with another battery instead of a cable
Hi. In theory yes, but it cat be dangerous, as the battery will provide high current. So you would need to do the connection only for a really short period of time and even then it's risky.
@@UltimateDIY I did the cable technic but it didn't work...it started making weird noises (the computer).I unplugged it puted the battery on the phone and it started smoking and now its damaged
@@UltimateDIY I tried with my old tablet it worked so thank you!
I'm confused. Did it work or did in not work for you? If the pc made weird noise, probably you shorted the wires or reversed polarity.
@@UltimateDIY no I did what you showed also it worked on my old tablet but on my old phone it didnt
timestamps would be super helpful if possible :) Would double charging from a split usb lead and a direct charge through the port at the same time help?
Sorry, but only if YT generates them automatically. Otherwise, I have no time to create them :(
@@UltimateDIY you can now
Can we use socket power to force a jump start on battery?
Obviously, no!
I enjoyed the video greatly! I was browsing videos of how to replace the charge port (didn't have to do that thankfully), but liked the demonstration that you gave, would've liked to see the doggie (haha), I understood your graph, and it's been many years since engineering school for me, but it makes sense. Out of curiosity, what is/are your native languages? I'll browse some of your other videos, this one was worth the 20 minutes.
Hello. Thank you! My native language ia Romanian.
What are your thoughts about using hair dryer technique to heat up the phone and temporarily increase the voltage of the non-removable batteries?
Could sometimes work, but depends on situation. I also do not really like to heat up batteries...
Thanks you,and thanks for that explanation, it was cool
Welcome!
this works! I just did it with a kindle paperwhite!! THANK YOU DUDE
Welcome!
I did this but I have a question, I thought it might be my battery the issue but now I'm not quite sure, maybe you know:
So, I bought a new battery anmd the phone didn't turn on, when I plugged the charger with the battery on nothing happened, it didnt even hot warm while charging.
Nooow, when I plug the phone (after doing what you did here) the phone gets warm, but no sign of turning on (The screen is dead, so it's harder to see if something actually going on), my question being, do you know what could be the cause of this?
It's impossible to guess.
sir i tried it on my samsung galaxy note gt n7000 and
it works but it is stuck on a battery logo that is loading and nothing happens
That is a software problem I think.
Genesis Archer Rivera try resetting it using holding the button to reset..at least you have power..just reset it
Maybe you have a solution. I tried this method for days now. I have an LG Ultimate 2 that stayed in my drawer for years since I upgraded to Samsung since 2019. The battery just will not charge. I jumped it and stopped at 3.90 volts. I kept it on the charger all day when I went to work. I deduced the phone was not the problem as it responds to a battery not inside it, but won't boot. I went the extra mile and bought a universal charger, and even a wireless charging pad and receiver, AND another battery. Even that battery won't boot the phone. But the wireless receiver responds to it on the phone, though it will say 0% and cut off. I'm out of options and wasted money.
Sorry, but in your case the phone might be the problem.
@@UltimateDIY What a worse case scenario. Alright. In an extreme scenario, is it possible to transplant the internal memory to a working phone of the same model? I assume a professional will potentially do something like that.
I think it's possible, but you neek to find someone that knows how to do it and wants to do it without billing you lots of money.
Sir is it work for lg g4 h815... Its not dead but wont taking charge and wont power on but its still vibrates when i tap the power key and when its connected to charger its notification light blinks and display has white soft light no logo not showing charging information nothing happens..... plzzzzz can you solve my problem sir....
You can try, but from what you explained, yours has either hardware or software problems, not battery.
Thank You for your time & knowledge good tutorial buddy just found spare heavy duty USB cable to modify & will try on my old Laptop battery as guessing same actions will apply but take longer to get it to chargeable level
Sadly, this will not work on most laptop batteries. They have more complex electronics. I have tried a few timesc, but always failed.
@@UltimateDIY Thanks I know but mine is refurbished but he did-not charge the rechargeable cells 1by1 b4 installation which in another video I saw on YT while ago said he should have & secret is to now trickle charge it so I will use an battery box with leads own jumper leads takes aa aaa & C batteries + 6-12V In/Output & so failing that just remove all cells & charge them in my multi rechargeable battery - charging unit & reassemble later lot of work but laptop is immaculate & even has a remote control for watching movies on big screens via HDMI & not risk losing my new Notebook when away from home
Sadly I tried that too a few times and it did not work.
The problem is that most laptop electronics flag the battery as bad, even after a single cell goes once below the minimum safe voltage and even if you charge them individually, the electronics is still locked. You need to reflash the electronics.
But this depends a lot on battery manufacturer and model. You can try, maybe you are lucky, but be really, really, really careful with laptop cells, as they can cause a fire quite easily if you do anything wrong, even after you put it back together.
Yes it does work!! Great video
Great 👍🏻
I know what your doing works. Ive done the same thing with cordless tool batteries and hit them for a couple of seconds, with a higher power source of course.
@Mohammed Kiani My Samsung Note Pro SMP-900 went into a short boot loop where the samsung logo would come up for 1 second then the tablet would go off. I couldnt get to any of the usual pages to do the download or the page where you can do the wipe of the cache. I tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing worked. Then I changed the good battery in my Samsung phone for an old one and trhat phone went into a boot loop right away. So the dead battery caused it to boot loop. When I put the newer battery back min it worked fine and booted up normally. So I ordered a new battery for the Note-Pro SMP-900 and I think it should boot up normally or at least take me to the screen that will allow me to correct the booting problem. I hope that helps and when I get the new battery I will let you know if it solved the problem.
Just to be clear my Samsung S4 phone works normally even tho it is old. I put the weak battery from another S4 phone into my Samsung S4 phone and it went into a boot loop. When I put the good battery that was in my S4 phone back in the phone it booted up normally SO A WEAK BATTERY THAT WONT HOLD A CHARGE WILL CAUSE THE PHONE TO BOOT LOOP. I am going to change the battery in the 12" Note Pro Tablet and see if that solves the issues of boot looping on that device.I will let you know. I should be here in the next couple of days. So look for my message very soon.
My Samsung Note Pro SM-P900 (2015) was totally bricked and it is now working fine with a new operating system. If you are still in need of help let me know and I will give you the info to get yours working again.

Go to these 2 websites The first one is the one I used to un-Brick my Tablet. It has a robotic voice talking but it is the best video I found and it works. If you have questions let me know. The second one tells you how to get the software and download the extraction program and the Odin program. Odin is actually in the tool bar of the extraction program. Its very important that you download the proper OS for your device. If you watch the videos carefully you can save your device. I did and mine was bricked pretty hard.
Hi, thank you for the video. I have a Samsung A40 which won't turn on or charge.
I charged the battery manually just like you did, but when I try to measure voltage I get 0 volts.
If the battery is dead, how come it draws amperage? Is that normal?
Thank you again!
Hi. If you did the procedure shown in my video correctly and it still reads 0, the battery is bad. Even a short circuit will draw amperage :)
@@UltimateDIY thank you so much for the information!! I just ordered the replacement battery
Welcome!
i don't have a monitor volt how can i be sure to use the right one?
You are taking a risc then. You can maybe test with two LEDs in series. It should give you the correct wires and polarity.
Brother never bother what people think because that's there loss🇬🇧👍🙏
True! But sometimes, when you just try to help...it gets to you...
What if the wires are red white and green? Which is positive and which is negative in that case?
Sorry, but you need a multimeter to check.
The white and green ones are data lines, you don't need them. But yes, use a multimeter to be sure.
that looks good. but what was the settingput on the charger
It's connected to a pc usb, so 5V.
Can you do this with a phone with a non removable battery?
Really hard. Close to impossible without specialised tools.
Thank u so much for this tutorial
In my case, I got 0.22 volts even though I hold the wires for minutes and when the multimeter tips are touching the pins (+ and - ) suddenly the voltage is set back to zero
What am I doing wrong?
The battery might be defective.
Very useful. Great English.
Welcome and thanks!
