If your charger breaks, you shouldn’t try to fix it yourself. It holds a charge even when unplugged and tampering with it could give you a nasty shock.
Gadgets like laptops, tablets, and smartphones are essential in today’s world, and they all require regular recharging. Unfortunately, a charger can sometimes break. When this happens, don’t try to repair it yourself. There are several reasons for this, with the most important being safety. The hazardous part of the charger is its capacitor, which can hold an electric charge even when unplugged. This component, if improperly handled and not correctly discharged, can cause a painful and potentially hazardous electric shock. Additionally, the complex circuitry inside the charger requires electronic expertise. If done incorrectly during a DIY repair, it may cause the charger to short out or, worse, catch fire once used.
Chargers come in different shapes and sizes and are fairly complex devices. They work by converting alternating current into a lower-voltage direct current rated for the device.
