An Office Phone From Your Cell Phone.

With this guide you can transform an old telephone in a friendly device that uses your mobile phone.

Material:

An old telephone.
A 1cm piece of wood larger than your cell and the thickness of 18/20 mm.
A piece of plywood the same size.
A USB extension
Two USB ports taken from an old PC.

Open the phone and remove everything you find inside.

P1010864.JPG
Draw a rectangle with a pen the size of the piece of wood. In my case for a Galaxy S is 80x135. If you need to delete all the holes in the cabinet you can enlarge the size of the piece of wood.

With the cutter or jigsaw  removed the piece of plastic which will be glued a piece of wood.

Now precisely shaped hole that you made using a file and the piece of wood as a measure.

Place your phone in the center of the piece of wood and draw all around the profile sure to draw a little wider.

With the jigsaw cut out the inside, be precise in the cut.

Smoothed with sandpaper good for the inside that were cut. At this point you have to practice a slot to make room for the USB connector to charge the phone. Put the phone on the piece of wood and draw the quarry, cut it and sand it always with the jigsaw.

Take the piece of plywood and glue on the bottom of the piece of wood.

While everything dries prepare the USB ports. I took a laptop broke a piece of card with two ports, you must remove all the components soldered because the ports are connected to each other but there is no hardware that could handle and then create a short circuit.

Once cleaned and cut in the rear of the phone base to track and get an opening.

When you have done the opening, make a hole 4 mm in the base, bring it on the basis of the phone and punched too. Insert a long screw that fastened with a nut and using a nut you can adjust the height of the board. Do not fix it.

Take the piece of wood that has been dried and sand it in all its parts. Then close the phone and placed the wood in the hole that you have obtained, place it well right at the same time make sure that there are plastic parts that prevent its closure.

Reopen the phone, and with the hot glue to fix the piece of wood.

While waiting for the glue to cool, cut the extension cable and drilled on the side of the cave that you have done for the USB ports.

At this point you have to fill the conjunction of the piece of wood and the plastic of the phone. You can use a car body filler.
When the filler is dry sandpaper to sand past the fairing and if necessary the rest of the phone.

Now your device is ready to be painted. For a better grip of the paint can first apply a primer for plastic.

P1010891.JPG
When the paint has dried, insert the USB cable and peel a few centimeters. Use only the red and black wires. Locked with a cable clamp to prevent leakage.

Solder the two wires on the legs of the two USB ports. Follow the diagram and photos to weld them in the appropriate places. The red wire is + and black is ground. Pay attention to the connections and not to short out. The signal wire I have not linked because they are unnecessary and would create problems of conflict in the PC, if the two outlets are completely isolated from each other, then in this case you can connect only one of two outlets.

P1010895.JPG
Now you can place the base on the screw, adjust the height by the end of the nut and lock it with another nut. With hot glue attach the cable and also the base to prevent it from turning on itself.

Before closing the phone permanently glued to one of the old keys to close the holes that had remained open.
 
At this point it is necessary to coat the inside of the housing of the cell for not ruin it. You can use any materials such as paper velvet, rubber, leather, etc.. I cut a strip of leather from an old belt and pasted it over the edge.

Cut pieces of cardboard to be inserted at the bottom to calibrate the depth of the housing, then coated with a soft material on the bottom.

P1010902.JPG
Well, the phone is finished, you just insert it into your cell.
