My Samsung charger started charging intermittently last week and finally broke today. I noticed the problem was on the wires near the jack.
Trying to do a quick fix.
I cut off the jack and exposed the two wires. White and black.
Had an old micro USB cable hanging around so i snipped the jack from it. 4 wires. White, black, red, green.
Can I make this work. Anybody know what goes where?
I tried white to white and black to black. Left both red and green alone. Didnt work.
The standard in 4 wire (charge and sync) usb is RED:5V+ BLACK:GRND GREEN:DATA- WHITE:DATA +
Standard for 2 wire (charge only) 5V+ will usually be White the GRND that accompanies it can vary usually black or red
If you connect your BLACK to BLACK then your WHITE to RED

Here is something else I found a few months ago. This is a low profile charger that is 2.1a. I have used a few other 1a low profile chargers and they worked ok but this one charges faster than any other one I have tried and works with a tablet (confirmed on iPad and Galaxy Tab 10.1). I also think it is way more stylish than the others I have tried. I really like the rainbow colors of the led lights (it cycles colors blue, green, red and so on.

My LCD flex cable was busted, so I replaced it.
Now the LED color while charging is Red, am I wrong or it was only Orange before?
I seem to recall it was Red while charging until 15%, then become Orange, now is only Red.
The codes on the flex cables were the same, both dated 2010-03-11, even though the silkscreen was different in size, position and style
Build Quality/Design
Looking at it; it has a very nice look to it. It has a 2 tone design with a soft matte black and a trim/ring of chrome that goes around the circumference. The soft matte rubber has ample grip so your phone doesn't easily slide off the charging pad. Only one LED indicator at a corner that lights up blue to indicate that charging has begun on your device. The LED is at a good brightness; not to bright but can easily be seen even in bright light.
The size/footprint is perfect in my opinion. Its about the size of a deck of cards. So the charging pad has ample space to balance on phone on top it feels like it won't slide off but smaller than other "full size" charging pads.
Performance/Testing
I could write down the numbers but lets just say it charged my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 as fast as my other charging pads.
It doesn't come with a usb plug so you will have to provide your own to hook up with the micro usb cable thats included. I used different wall plugs and they all seem to work just fine.
It's recommended to use a 1.5 to 2 amp wall plug. I opted for a 2 amp plug and its been working fine.
Conclusion
This is a great little compact Qi charger that won't take that much space that works just as well as bigger "full size" Qi charging pads. Wish it came with a wall plug but can use the one that came with your phone.
Hi all,
I recently got an MTCB-Klyde-Unit for my Hyundia i10 (IA).
Now I´m tryingin to power it up outside the car to test it and installation purposes.
For this purpose I have bought a laboratory power supply on eBay (capable of 0-30 Volt an 0-5 Ampere).
Unfortunately it hasn`t worked out yesterday evening.
I have had only hooked up Bold Yellow-Wire (which is BATT+), and bold Black-Wire (which is GND from BATT).
There would be also a Red Wire (which is ACC+) which I haven`t hooked up yesterday.
Could this be the reason; must all 3 power wire be connected to power on the device?
Greetings,

Outside car= yellow and red together to positive, black to negative. Inside car= Yellow to battery, red to ACC, black to ground.
Acc is like a on/off switch. The car use it to tell the Hu it has to turn on or off. So yes, you have to connect also the acc to +12V.
Does anyone know what the small blue and white wires that go from the charging port board to the main board are? did a battery replacement and the small connectors they clip onto have come off the main board. Phone appears to be working without them which is a bit worrying lol.
