I have been preparing power supply and downloading Raspbian...
I have this old tablet charger with 5V 2A output capability which is perfect to power up Raspberry Pi3. But the charger doesn't come with micro USB connector, I have to hack this with micro USB cable.
Again, the problem is that micro USB cables are not handling 2A current, I am talking about generic micro USB cables for mobile data sync and power, I don't own high quality high current micro USB cable...
Another option is buying micro USB connector, which i can't buy 1 or 2 in quantity and it's bit expensive for this hack, so, the only option i have is to hack the existing micro USB cable connector like the picture below...
That was successful and I am going to solder it and test it with Rpi 3...
I will let you know all how this will go... ... ...
