    Thanks so much. My stupid cat chewed my cables in the middle of work from home day grrrrrrrrr. It's a super old MacBook and I was not keen to spend any more money getting a new cable. This worked with insulation tape. So awesome. Wish I knew this years ago! Thank you!

      It might be cause you don't brush your cats teeth and stuff like wires seem a good and relieving option for a cat to help their hurting teeth

    So this worked for me today (thanks btw), but i did not sauter - only electrical tape. Is it normal for the reconfigured wires under the electrical tape to be extremely hot to the touch?

  • @robertschmitt3248
    @robertschmitt3248 3 года назад +2

    This technique worked like a charm! So rewarding to see the green light! Had to cut out two sections of cable and then splice the rest back together. After pealing the plastic coating off and twisting all the wires, I taped the pieces in place on a board with the exposed ends perfectly aligned and ready for solder. Made easy work of it if you are working alone. Thanks!! Stupid cats :)

    I use my magsafe2 macbook outside for astrophotography, I need permanent charging to keep up with camera power and recording over long periods. I'd like not to have 240v ac outside at all, even on an extension lead as I leave everything running for hours at night unattended, and weather does change unexpectedly at. times. Having watched your video, it seems to me that I could do what you did to repair, but also include about another 25feet, 8 metres of 2 core cable, then I can keep the 240v ac well away under cover. Can you think of a reason why this would not work, just an opinion not expecting a definitive answer, thanks

    I've been through probably 6 of these dumb things with my macbook pro. The wire constantly frayed / split right next to the part you plug into the laptop.. I literally babied half of these chargers, never even moving them. I had one I left at my typical desk simply so nothing could happen to it and the same issue happened lol

      I have a bitter apple spray that works (when I remember to use it). Also, my kitty *usually* chews things when he's trying to send a message - this one was, "mom, the food you just fed me sucks and I want something different." Haha. Good luck!

      Electrical tape is the best option because it doesn't conduct electricity.

    • @JRobling
      @JRobling  6 лет назад

      The great thing about these chargers is they will not work if there is a short in the system, so if your dog chewed the wire and it no longer charges then you know it needs to be fixed like I did in the video.
