INFINIX X551 and all Smart phones with internal battery, TOTAL BATTERY DISCHARGE FIX
(Kindly note that i am not liable for any damages that may occur during this exercise, including a warranty void)So it has taken me close to a week to figure out what after days and days of looking for tutorials that would fix my “dead” phone that had done nothing. The phone had an unprecented death without any announcement and me being the techie i am i could not accept to see a couple of wasted bucks.
My Infinix X551 lay uncharged for a couple of days, to be precise about two weeks and since it was not my ain phone, i was using it for complementary services such as app testing and mobile payments. However i got engaged and forgot about it and after the two weeks i realized that i did not have an access to my phone anymore,it could not charge and neither could it boot up.
As obviously i went to youtube and unlike most times no solution was present, after some days of contemplating the loss i would incur, i thought of an old lesson i learnt in my highschool physics of voltage potential difference, the biggest risk being what would the source of voltage be and how to prevent the internal battery from blowing up.
I took off my acousting guitar battery which was about 9v and fixed a 10k Ohm resistor on the positive terminal.

I then followed this youtube link on Infinix x551 battery disassembly and waalah! i was in. I then carefully observed the internal battery terminals and hooked the positive terminal of my semi-acoustic guitar battery to the positive of the battery terminal on my phone and the rest for my negative terminals, to avoid blowing up the battery i then counted to 15 and disconected the battery.
I then fixed back the battery on trial to find out if it had a small charge to sustain itself for charging and i was back in. Simple but efficient hack, i believe that it can work with any smartphone that has totally discharged for the same reasons as mine.
