I just successfully repaired two using your method. I was very concerned that I would apply too much solder and link the black pad with the white, but using flux they seemed to stay in their lane. I am not really good at soldering but it worked out well for me.
Be aware that in the cable tip there's a controler who tells the charger how much voltage to send to the device so the 45w-60w-85w have specific cable attach to them.
C-Roy So when you say the charger, do you mean the adapter or the aftermarket cable? I’ve read somewhere online that the size/gauge of the aftermarket cable can alter how much current flows through it. With that said, if the gauge of the aftermarket cable is smaller than the original, will that prevent the computer from receiving the correct wattage?
Fix Apple Now Is there any difference in the size or flexibility of the cable when comparing it to the original and will it work for an 85 watt adapter? Do you notice any difference in how long it takes to fully charge your computer?
Nice video. No solder tools here. So I tried to splice and twist cables, and connected the light grey to light grey and the outer loose cable that was wrapped around grey to the black one on the connector end. Twisted them nicely. Plugged and and the thing sparked/loud pop.
Hello there, Congrats for the great video!!. Unfortunately i came too late to it and i didn't remove the metal plate, and after i finished welding the cables I realized that little piece of the shield that was welded to the board (4:08) was broken, i don't know which material is it, i guess aluminum, i need some way to attach it to the rest of the shield, some ideas?
Make sure you buy cables for the correct wattages. I don’t think this is mentioned in the video. Meaning if you have a 60w charger you need a cable that is for 60w. Same goes for 45 and 85 watt. For example, if you get a 60w cable and put it on an 85w power supply, it will only supply 60w. And that can be a problem in certain situations. Thank you
Just finished the swap out. Plugged it in and attached to MacBookPro. The light on the end lit-up green but flashes -- it flashes briefly at 2-sec interval. The Charge lightning bolt on the screen goes on and off in time with the green light as it goes on and off. Thoughts?
Actually you could just open the charger, cut the old cables at a distance from the motherboard in such way that you will leave a little from the cable just to twist the new endings from the new cables, then isolate them and you are done. No need to solder. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I know I'm not. 🤣 Best regards!

Where do we get the new cords please? You are telling us where to get these simple products to clamp and glue, but no info on how to order the cord itself?
I replaced the MagSafe 2 Cable on my 60w cable. But when i charge it on my Macbook pro 13 inch. The system report shows the charger as an 85w charger. Later i found out the one wire chip inside the connector is responsble for holding the details on the charger from its serial number and wattage. But I'm not sure if the chip is also responsible for regulating the wattage on the charger. Because I dont think the 60w charger can really supply a 85w out. or cant it? So can you please let me know if the chip in the connector can regulate the wattage as the computer reads the charger as an 85w charger even thought the charger is a 60w charge. I'm scared if the replaced chord does give out a higher wattage. My laptop could get damaged.
Hi, I tried to repair mine but unfortunately the black wire connector and the shield connector are now connected with soldering (i'm pretty bad at it). The new cable is now working but can be dangerous?
Just replaced my cable. I originally had a 85watt adapter and the T-connector pins got damaged. I replaced the cord with an aftermarket one. But now.. When I checked my system settings its telling me that its only charging my MacBook Pro at 60watts. How is that possible with an 85watt adapter?
First, you don't should ever change the original cable to fake one, Genuine replacement does not exist. Second, that information about wat of charger is save in magsafe tip, that's why you see 60W not 85W. that video is completely useless. with fake cable you will probably overcharge your Macbook, and your battery will die faster and very possibly Logic Board will need repair too
It doesn't, I just tried it. There's more to simply soldering the wires, the microchip in the Magsafe connector (the one with the LED) has to match otherwise when connected it will not charge the battery (OS X does recognize that the Macbook is plugged in, but it doesn't charge). TL;DR Apple screws customers once again
NOT RECOMMENDED !!! doesn't work always ... I tried this on my 4 years old charger ... it was glued so tight that the box eventually cracked some pieces off while the main part was still glued together with large plastic pieces of the cover ... not to mention that IT JUST DOESN'T CRACK open as easily as it shows in this video ... bottom line ... get a NEW charger ... safer and easier ... and if you afforded a MAC ... you can afford a charger as well ... ;) sorry poster ... my opinion ... your video might work ... SOMETIMES ... definitely not always
Apple should be sued for designing this rubbish. We've got through about 5 of these POS between 2 of us. Crap design and crap materials that break down.

Great!
thank you for the informative video. it was strait to the point and exactly what I was lookin for.
Be aware that in the cable tip there's a controler who tells the charger how much voltage to send to the device so the 45w-60w-85w have specific cable attach to them.
Computer should automatically regulate it's charging regardless of wattage the charger outputs... From what I've understood after some research.
that is correct, thank you

thanks for the tutorial it is very useful
Thank you so much. my repair was successful. Convinced me just replace the damaged cable rather than purchase a charge. 👍🏻

Works for me in a pinch. Maybe $25 on eBay there but I’m traveling and a replacement here in Rio is about R$545 or $133!
Let’s see if I can fix mine.
Absolutely brilliant! great video thanks. I have at least 4 mag safe chargers that need fixing- you want to come over and replace the cables?

Thoughts?
Which is the positive and negative poles of black and white
Thanks for the video. What kind of glue can be used for easier subsequent repair?
You could use E800
where did you bought the cable?
You can fin it on Ebay
what that thing called by which you heated wire to remove it from board and than heated again to fix it?
Flux
Im going similar experience.... know about electricity appliances...but will try
that cable you replaced there...where can i purchase that online I'm from trinidad & tobago caribbean

Not every cable is the same also that's a lot harder since you could easily connect the black one to the white one or vice versa.

Hey bro can you give the link from where you punched the cable
I need this cable
We bought those from eBay,
Sir i macbook air 2017 version charger gets too hot (its power cord is plugged into 230V ac supply). Is that normal?
My cable is fine. But the brick is not. Any suggestions?
where to get the connector cable from
Make a search online, you'll find something.
I have a macsafe 1 laying around from my previous mbp and a broken macsafe 2 from my actual mbp, can I change the cable from the 2 to the 1?
Dwight Castillo As long as the wattages are the same/greater it will work with your device
After installation cable from aliexpress gives 85W now on 45W bank
Hi,
I tried to repair mine but unfortunately the black wire connector and the shield connector are now connected with soldering (i'm pretty bad at it).
The new cable is now working but can be dangerous?
You have to be careful, you don’t want your charger to damage your mac
Great video. I must presume that these chargers can only be repair one time. I think it will not survive to another "surgery" like that. :)
Well, we actually took those apart a few times)))
Before applying glue, I would have tested the _chargers'_ efficacy
Thanks for the comment!
hi
where can i order the cable?
Online, Ebay or Amazon.
You can find it online.
Thank you bro,thanks a lot
thank you
Just replaced my cable. I originally had a 85watt adapter and the T-connector pins got damaged. I replaced the cord with an aftermarket one. But now.. When I checked my system settings its telling me that its only charging my MacBook Pro at 60watts. How is that possible with an 85watt adapter?
The charging current depends on how much charge your battery has.
Fix Apple Now That’s strange because my battery was at 5% charged and the current was reading 60 Watts.. At that point shouldn’t it read 85watts?
Yes, it should.

@@marcinwidera7515 you can't overcharge a macbook there's protection in place for that
You should show us it works

thanks dude
When this cable breaks and frays , repair again and again
Good
Why can't you just attach the wires instead of soldering?
It won't make a good permanent electrical connection and would fail sooner or later.
Saved my fucken life bro thank u !
good Lord, why go on and on about every little step -- CONDENSE CONDENSE CONDENSE !!!

Limit unnecessary chatter and playing with the brick. I watch for 1.5 minutes and knew I couldn't bare 20 minutes
