I would have to bring this old one to shop to find a matching head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update 1\/14\/2023:<\/strong> Bought a USB car charger ($6) from Five Below at the Freehold Raceway Mall. Looks like I would have to do some swapping of components with the old one to fix this. First, I needed to learn how to remove component from PCB, the conventional way (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z38WsZFmq8E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no desoldering gun, etc.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Easy Way to Desolder and Remove Through Hole Connectors or Components\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9jpotpIO1-U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was done, but without the modern desoldering method, the PCB was left with messy tin covering the holes where components were removed. So it's probably time to pursue my long desired (since high school) project: Learning how to create PCB board. Apparently there are companies that will take your circuit design order and ship you the corresponding PCB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PCB Creation for Beginners - Start to finish tutorial in 10 minutes\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MsdJgEinb34?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can create it yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DIY PCBs At Home (Single Sided Presensitized)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7wAer7a3tU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had earlier a post on finding compatible battery replacement.
