Anyone with first year technician education knows wire need not be
cut to measure. It says so much about that poster's knowledge.

Anyone with basic knowledge, which you don't have, knows that you can't
measure without reaching a conductor - since the USB device is connected
via a cable (at least what was beind discussed), there are NO EXPOSED
CONDUCTORS - cutting into the CABLE is necessary in order to expose a
conductor - you said "wire", I said "cable", they are not the same.

He
only understands swapping parts - shotgunning. Does not even know how
to use a meter. Multimeters are required even by every auto mechanic
because a meter is that easy necessary for fixing things electrical.
But the technically ignorant - shotgunners - never learn how to use
the meter. Even assume a wire must be cut to measure.

You said "Wire" and I said "Cable", showing that you are a idiot. If you
don't cut into the USB "CABLE" to expose the "Wire" (notice I didn't say
cut the WIRE), then you can't measure the voltage AT THE DEVICE.

Please explain to the OP how he's going to measure a value at the Device
side when it's connected via a USB cable if he can't reach any
conductors to measure at?
