If someone would be willing to EL5 this for me, I’d be deeply appreciative.

    There is still a charger brick there…now cut a USB cable plug off and connect the power wires in to a wall outlet directly…

    Plugging into a USB port on your computer? Your power supply is already converting 120/240 vac(depending on location) to 12 vdc. That’s fine. Bypass that power supply and connect your phone to wall power directly and expect flames…

      USB’s 5 volts, ain’t it? Not 12. Feed it 12 and you’ll break stuff.

      (At least without USB-C PD negotiation.)
