School project- convert to battery
I am working on a project for school and I want to convert my wifi extender that I plug into the wall to a portable battery powered device. I can not find anything on the subject. I can not even find...
Then open the unit find the point where 120V AC is converted to DC voltage.
One is pos(+) , the other one is neg.(-) If possible getting a copy of schematic
is best but if it is not possible, you can draw out schematics reading the PCB
traces and silk screen. Most likely it is 12V DC.
Thank you for the help. Sorry for the long delay in answering. I was able to remove the board that converted the power. I found where the boards were connected by 6 pens. I used Alligator clips to connect a USB cable to the different pens untill I had power and a wifi signal. I was able to power the device with a USB cable in a USB battery that I often charge my phone with. It worked great..
