WARNING - Do this at your own risk
This could be done to other obsolete Chargers to save them from landfill. I have left out the wiring part - those that understand the basics of Electronics will know what to do. Those that dont - shouldnt attempt it, if you put the wrong polarity to your NDSL you may blow more then a fuse,
Sometimes getting the original charger is the best option -the quality is soo much better, however the price cant be justifield as the cost is more then a fraction of what the actual unit is worth. You can get the $5 cheapie of Ebay - but you get what you pay for.
Plugging the cheap charger in and out of the wall causes the diodes to explode, it is easy to happen as most of the time the wall insert is not thick enough to make good contact. This wont last more then 5 Mins.
Cheap Ebay Charger 5.0V 500mA
The other Ebay charger you find is a little bit better - however you need an adaptor to plug into the wall and the internal looks cheap aswell.
US type NDSL Ebay Cheap Charger 5.2V 450mA
Copared to the Original Charger, the picture speaks for itself.
Original NDSL Charger - 5.2V 450mA
There Next best option I found was that I had lots of spare Nokia Chargers lying around. 10yrs ago everyone had a Nokia.
So the rating is about the same as that of the NDSL charger. So I solder the NDSL cable from the Crap Ebay charger onto the Nokia Charger.
Nokia Charger 5.7V 850mA
Nokia Charger 5.7V 800mA
Nokia Charger 5.7V 800mA
The end product works much better then the Cheap Ebay units and saves on EWaste of throwing your old Nokia chagers away, as you can see the internal of the Nokia Charger is a much better quality then the Ebay Units.
