Fixing USB socket in cheap china USB Cigarette light charger 1A JN121 is it worth it?

About month ago i found that my car cigarette lighter USB charger stop working…

After investigation and measuring voltages on output i found that problem is not in charger circuitry but in USB socket itself.

 

That charger was worth about 1 USD… ย but is it worth to repair?

I open charger, and check ebay (china sellers) to found same type USB socket.

I found ๐Ÿ™‚ 1 USD / 10 pcs with shipping included! I bought and pack all charger parts into ziploc bag for future repair.

After waiting time of 1 month , today my pack of 10 USB sockets arrived and i could start “repair”.

As You can see on last picture, my phone is very happy being charged ๐Ÿ™‚

Repair took about 5 minutes

My conclusion:

I could order new one for 1 USD and put old to trash but instead of throwing out this 1 USD i got ย 10pcs USB sockets. I use one of this and i have 9 left in my “lab” for future experiments and of course working charger. ๐Ÿ™‚ As You can see, sometimes it’s worth to fix something cheap ๐Ÿ™‚
