Get Mobile Battery Recharged With Damaged Charging Port

Never Worry if your phone USB/Connector port is damaged or if your phone doesn’t charged your battery. It’s quite common on today’s smart phones to have a broken, bent or damaged charging port / built in USB port.

The Micro USB/Charging port sometimes is integrated with the mother board of the mobile or it will be a replaceable part, but it completely depends on the make and model. When the charging port gets damaged if it is integrated with the mother board , you can’t do much about it. You would be lucky enough if your warranty is void, you have to shell 100+$ to get the motherboard replace just for a charging port, which I feel is worthless when you have the below option.

The one way to keep your mobile phone battery recharging is to get a universal battery charger which is easily available through the top online stores (ebay Amazon), Google it for Universal Mobile Battery Charger. The Price of this would  be between $2 to $10.





One example of integrated charging port is Sony Tipo, the port is integrated with mother board and you can just not replace the port itself, you need to change your board.



Discuss more about the micro usb charging ports and its design and the usability/durability through the below comments section.

How to Resolve IIS HRESULT:0x80070020 Error

This is the most common error observed when you try to start the Default Website in IIS (internet Information services), the reason for the error is the port binding in IIS Default Website "Site Bindings" Window.

---------------------------
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

Aliexpress A Bad Buyer Protection Experience

This is my review on Shopping at AliExpress, I bought few mobile spares from Aliexpress through a reputed HongKong Seller listed in alibaba/aliexpress, after placing an order and almost a two months wait,to my Surprise, I never received the product to my shipping address, the seller was not even responding to e-mails and pings through trade manager.

At this point i though of contacting Ali Express and raise a Dispute of My Order and i did so,
When i initially raised a dispute, i though someone from AliExpress customer support/buyer protection team would contact within two working days,dispute was opened on April 16

Status:
    Dispute escalated  

Reminder:
    The dispute has been escalated. Your dispute will be submitted to our Case Management Team. We will contact you at the complaint center within 2 calendar days.
    Please sign in to the complaint center to view more details about your dispute, and follow the dispute process.
    Learn more about dispute policy

It has been almost a month the dispute has been escalated, there is no response from AliExpress Buyer protection and i strongly believe that there would be no help from Aliexpress, as i see lots of bad buying experience with AliExpress and Alibaba

Check the bad Reviews of aliexpress here

In-addition, AliBaba Trade manager instant chat messenger is a spy program which takes lots of personal information from your PC, beware not to install the alibaba trade manager at any cost.Check out the forums of AliExpress before even thinking of shopping at Aliexpress, I name Aliexpress as something a Scam-express, which suits best for Scams and Fraud encouragement of the Chinese sellers.

So Readers, this post is to alert about Aliexpress and its fraud buyer protection system.Look out for other alternate options online excluding Aliexpress, i prefer ebay with high seller feedback score.

Thanks
