I found my mobile charging cable works intermittent. Thoroughly when inspected, when I tilt the cable from mobile side it works some time. It could be either Cable wire connector or Mobile charging socket. I am having Micro usb cable when my daughters & wife are using C- type which won’t work in my mobile.

So I arranged micro USB Charger from my neighbor & tested, it works perfect without any problem so it is confirmed the problem is with Micro USB Connector side. I returned the charger to my neighbor because it is late in the evening.

Now I Slide metal cover & remove & then Cut the Plastic housing form the side edges so that after opening I can test the continuity of the wires.

After Peeling the white Plastic cover, I checked the condition of wires under my magnifier glass I found tow wires Black & White are out of the Connector.

So probably I found the culprit here.

I cut the connector with the cable so that the position of the cable could be identified when we re-solder it.

(Now a day never trust on the cable color code in any electrical or electronics equipments.few days back I opened one public address amplifier system there I found Red wire is used for ground & white is for +ve supply.)

Now soldered fresh cables by removing old ones.

After the soldering work, I applied epoxy on the connector solder side & on exact back side.

Now connected the cable on my mobile for testing …



Now it works perfect without any problem on moving of the cable.

After confirmation of proper working I slide the metal cover & cable is now ready to use.

    Good job Yogesh, although using epoxy makes it now very hard literally to open and fix the wires next time. Using hot glue at least would have given the option to remove the glue when needed just by heating it up again and removing it.
    And if you have a 3d printer you can also print out some cable savers like these ones on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1669452 or this one => https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1091637. (;)

      Albert,Thanks! for providing Links for 3D Printer,I don't have space to keep it and anyway I don't have much use for such things so it is dead investment for me.Hot glue is a better idea but I didn't have it in stock.

    Some of re-brand devices coming from a particular continent are defective from factory.I just purchased a brand new Samsung phone with Samsung super fast charger which supposedly to get to full charge within 1h+,but alas this takes almost 3hrs to full charge and otg works two times and stop functioning,so what do we say about colour wires displacement on electronics devices....Just to frustrate electronics'repairers

      You are Right,Imoudu
      Most of the time low quality Charging Cable is the reason,try to make Charging cable using good quality wire,inner copper wire should be thicker than supplier cable.

    that is how I keep fixing the charging cable of my son's phone and Ipad but he keep insisting on buying a new one. once I bought him a cable and it broke in less than a week so I fixed the old reliable one and so far it is working just fine. now my son is convinced it is the right way to go.LOL. thanks for sharing and have a blessed day
