So I ordered 2 qi chargers without a case from here:
QI wireless charger circuit board
I was always keeping my phone on the palm rest of my laptop so I decided, I might as well add a qi charger to my palm rest so that it charges my phone while I work.
[You might want to have a bulkier laptop to do this.]
This way when I go out some where for several hours, I don't have to take a charger (wireless or wired) with me.
Maybe someone finds this to be usefull. Hell, I did for sure.
You'll need:
-caution and attention
-qi charger circuitboard & coil
-soldering iron & solder
-space in your laptop for the coil under the palm rest, or where you want to put it
-a usb port which you can draw power from
-thicker copper cable for connecting the coil with the circuitboard (if they dont fit beside each other)
So what I did:
- first I desoldered the coil from the CB, and removed the metal plate from under the coil
-then I glued the circuit board on the base of the laptop just over the ram slots with hot glue
- I took apart a USB cable to use the connector, so I can disassembly my laptop even with these wires inside
-I soldered the usb cable's 4 wires onto a usb port to draw power
-I made the coil's cable longer so I can position it under the palm rest & glued the coil to the base of the palm rest with hot glue
after that put the laptop all back together and test it out ,with caution!!
If everithing is as it is supposed to be you'll have a qi charger palm rest & you can forget about taking a charger with you.
the result:
