The brother's phone is so flat in the video that it won't switch on. The man then decides to devise a last-ditch effort to make his phone light up. He takes a brick, balances it on top of the charger cable, and the phone flashes the battery icon on the screen, which indicates that the phone is charging.

While the video may be hilarious, faulty phone chargers can damage the phone's components. They impair the phone by severely affecting the phone's circuitry.
