How can I fix a sad icon on my Lumia 540 without using my real charger because I lost it?

[Windows Central Question]

how can i fix a sad icon on my lumia 540 without using my real charger because i lost it?

it shows spinning gears and then loads a little and then a sad icon. please help me. i tried windows recovery tool but as i said lost my charger and i am using another one but it doesn't detect my phone. I think its because of the update to windows 10, i wish i had win 8 again but i don't want to break my phone again. by the way what happens if you reset and hard reset your phone to many times.

you'll need to perhaps get another cable or something because the WDRT is your nest hope?
