Can I use a 5V adapter for 3V?

There is not such thing (or there should be no such thing) as a 3V USB anything… USB is 5V, and always will be. It is a standard that all devices must comply with. This means that you should not be able to find an AC adaptor to 3V with USB, If you do find it, don’t buy it.

What happens if I use a 5V adapter on a 9V device?

The problem with supplying this with 9V is that the current through the circuit would be theoretically near infinate and, as FullFrontalNoodly said, in real life will destroy the circuit very fast. This is because voltage is pressure, like triffid said. A 5V circuit, like a couple LEDs, would leave 4V.

How can I make my charger work again?

While some fixes may require a bit of rewiring, there are many fixes that you can try to get your broken charger working again.

1. Make sure the outlet is turned on.
2. Make sure the cables are connected correctly.
3. Look for lights.
4. Reboot the charging device.
5. Try a different outlet.
6. Check for damage to the charger.

What causes an AC adapter to fail?

Here are some possible reasons why your AC adapter may fail: All things electronic have a finite life; they will eventually fail. They may receive dirty power that stresses components. The converter in the sealed box could become fried from a power surge coming in from the AC line.

Why is my phone charger adapter not working?

Reasons Why a Charger Stops Working There are a few basic reasons why your charger would stop working: The wall socket is off or damaged. A damaged charger. There is damage to the device power port.

Why is my mobile charger adapter not working?

Often the issue is the small metal connector in the USB port, which may be slightly bent in a way that means it doesn’t make proper contact with the charging cable. To fix this, switch your phone off, and remove the battery if you can. Another possible issue could be something inside the USB port, like pocket lint.

Can I use 5V adapter for 12v?

In one word — no–. The battery won’t charge on 5V and it may even try to feed back into the 5V charger if for example one of the rectifier diodes is blown.

Can I use a 5V 3a charger with a 5V 2A device?

Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed. Since the voltage is held constant (5V), the only factor that determines current draw is the load (another term for resistance) the device places on the charger.
