Every mobile phone needs a charger.

Phone chargers are used to power mobile phones. A charger connects to mains electricity through a plug, and a wire carries the electricity from the plug to the mobile phone. A charger is provided when you purchase a mobile phone, and replacement chargers can be bought at any phone store. Chargers can be opened in two ways, depending on the style of your particular model, but you should always take care when handling electrical equipment.

Check if your charger has screws holding it together. If you cannot see any screws, your charger uses a seal that glues the charger together.

Step 4

Run a sharp knife or screwdriver carefully around your charger if it is held together with a seal. The two pieces of your charger are fixed with glue, so run the edge of your knife along the groove between the two parts to break the seal. Pull your charger apart to open it.
