Hi Mr Mark.

Hope you're doing well.

I have a small problem. Having read this post I thought you might help me.

I have a laptop table below which are fixed two 5-volt fans that receive power from the USB port in the laptop.

The problem is that the metallic piece of that USB cable that is inserted in the laptop is corroded. So I cut that corroded USB cable metallic piece and tried to attach another one. But I have failed in doing so when though I have connected the right type cords. i-e green with black and red with white and tried to test it with a battery as well. But that didn't work.

Please help

I'm trying to connect a micro USB (female to female), in order to connect my bluetooth controller to my cellphone, because the bluetooth isn't working. Firstly, is this possible? My problem is, I have one female end with red, green, white and black wires. The other female end has red, green and white wires, but there is no black wire. But there are two exposes wires without a color coding. Do you have any idea as to which ones I should connect? Do the two uncolored wires matter? Thanks for the help.

Hey i wanted to know can i use normal wires if i'm making my own USB cable

thanks

i got a question. wiring a mouse from PS2 to USB. i manage to get power on butt he mouse doesn't receive data.

ps2 wires are Black, Green, Yellow, Red. The USb wires are Green, Blue, Orange and white.

the connections are Red-Blue, Black-orange, Green-Yellow, Green-white.

None of this is right.. Blue is usually ground, not data-, green is always data+ in any color scheme, and white is data-..

The correct scheme if you want to connect these 2 different colored wires together would be this:

Red or orange = 5 V

White or gold = Data−

Green = Data+

Black or blue = Ground

So in other words, orange to red, white to white, green to green and blue to black

Hello mark, I'm looking for a temporary solution to my phone charging problem until i get it fixed. It's a Galaxy Note 3 and it seems that one of the pins inside the charging port has been bent/pushed back i think. I can see it near the back of the port when I look. Anyways, it currently charges if i use a wall charger and even charges when plugged into my PC as well as transfers files, but it charges significantly slower than it use to and it will not recognize most external power banks. They charge other phones but nothing happens when plugged into mine and the power banks eventually just turn off because they arent being used.

In short, I'm wondering if I can modify one of my cables by removing a wire or rerouting the wire in order to either fix the external power bank issue or to increase the speed my phone charges back to it's normal speed. 2 questions in 1 but I've searched for days and asked in other places. this hub seems very informed and even if It my problem cannot be fixed, any insight would help alot, and I've already bookmarked this to read other articles. Thanks in advance

(side note - some power banks work on the phone and some do not, even ones from the same brand.)

Hey I have a little problem. My Dog chewed my iPhone charger cord and I need to replace it with an old wire they were both iPhone. The one that my dog chewed was green red and white and the other charger is greeen red and black . Do I splice the white and black together ? Thank you!

My "other" proplem

Is that after 2-3 months of modered use, my caple starts charging slower and slower... soon yes i end up with

(Not detected - Detected - Not detected -Detected and so on) and always ends with Not detected

I think the proplem is just whering down the copper by use.

I think it's cutting corners on prize by manifactural proses..

Maybe they need a better metal or metal mix or maybe use just a little more copper in the tupes... they know chargers and most Usb with mini usb end will move around alot more now day's

*Hope u understood this, dont have time 4 spellcheck now

cheers from Iceland

Hello, I am making a solar panel phone charger and I have 2 wires (the red + and black -) wires that need to be attached to my phone charger that I have cut. However, I noticed that there are 4 wires. I just attached the red to the red and black to the black because I assumed that those are the ones that help carry the electricity. What do I with the green and white data wires. Do data wire carry electricity that help charge things? By not connecting them to anything is the phone not receiving all of the electricity? Also I don'r really understand what ground wire means; does it just mean the negative end of the wire that carries electricity? Thank you
