My charger was screwing up and I was trying to find a way to make a temporary fix so I thought, "Why not just stick a wire down the middle of a Chupa-Chup stick and wrap another one around the outside?"
So I went about this task.
First, I ate a Chupa-Chup. (Well duh.)
Then, I tried to see if it would fit into the charging port. Sadly, it was slightly too big, but the Chupa-Chup stick was no match for my scissors, which shaved it down to size.
I then chopped off the end which has the little hole in and that little bit of the Chupa-Chup that always gets stuck in the stick.
I stuck the positive side of my wire in the middle of the stick and I took four or five strands of the negative wire and wrapped it round the outside. I then eased it into the charging port and, hey presto, the charging icon appears!
It is currently charging my tablet and I will upload some pictures of it charging it within the next hour or so.
