What if my devices charger port is broken? Can I charge my device by just placing it on the Solar Powered Charger without having to plug it in?

The solar "portion" is only to charge the charger itself (you can also charge the charger by plugging it into the wall or a computer); you have to use the connector to attach the charger to the phone/device.

Not sure I can help with this. The charger does not have a USB -- if it is charging the battery pack then it is doing what it was designed to do. Of you unplug it after a charge and are using a USB cord to your device and it won't charge your device from any port, try a different USB cord to device as a process of elimination - I do not believe you should ever have to 'wiggle' a cord to get it to work properly.

Hello, Just to inform you, it is best if you purchase a power pack battery to charge with the solar panel. When I've used the solar direct to my phone, it short circuited my phone (zapped it, where my phone does not work). Hope this helped you... Good luck.

HI, Might did not come with a solar charger. I am not sure if it can be hooked up to one or not.

Make sure you're using the input USB. Should charge automatically. You only have to turn the power on to use the device for charging purposes.

It is normal, use an iPad charger box or a tablet charger box.Solar charging it doesn't always do the trick.So I prefer to use wall outlet,car charger or tablet charger.Tablet chargers do the trick.I worried for mines too.

Personally , I wouldn't recommend doing that .Follow the manufacturers manual on charging methods and you should get good service from the unit .

You need to plug it in to house current to vharge it and then the sun should recharge it. But I never could get it to charge my phone. Nothing nada zilch.

I did not receive a solar charger with mine. I think it means that if you are using a solar charger, not that it has built-in solar capability.

Not sure. I would say go to Fry's or Best Buy and see if they have one you can try, if you've already bought the solar charger.

Sounds like a question for the seller! It is either defective or the batteries need charging. Try taking it outside in the sun to see if it will work from solar power alone.

it doesn't matter; just leave it in the sun to charge it! IF your unit won't charge from the sun, then there are 2 possibilities: 1. your circuit board is faulty and you need to replace the whole unit. 2. you live in a place with latitude above 41 degrees or so, so solar power DOES NOT WORK in the winter because the sun is too weak. Seriously though, it uses a pair of AA Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries but THE UNIT IS SEALED so you can't really get to them.

This charger does not need to be charged itself, you simply unfold it and lay it in sunlight, then plug your device's USB charging cable into it to charge your devices. Does that answer your question or did I misunderstand?

We had the same issue. Never could get it to charge via sunlight. Very disappointing.

If you mean for recharging the pack, no, you cannot. This will charge via the sun, or via the USB port. Now, if you want to power a wireless charging pad with this, and the charging pad has a USB input, you can do that, so long as the charging pad requires less than 1A of current.

You mean a broken USB port (as the USB port is used for charging).First, you need a Qi skin that will be attached to the battery pins inside the phone. Then, indeed, you will be able to charge wirelessly without removing anything.

I had to upgrade to the latest OS. Worked fine after that. You probably have the solar powered option if you don't see a plug.
