    Wow this guy nailed it. My charger works perfectly now. Thank you so much. Turned a 100$ purchase into a 30$. Got all the tools and I can repair my cords in the future with leftovers!

    Mate, you have saved me 70 quid with this vid. Thank you so much for posting, works a treat. My problem was up at the connector end (crunches when twisted) but a simple eBay purchase for just the connector cable worked a treat!

    Thanks! Just did this and it worked without issues right away... I didn't do soldering. Just twisted wires and taped them up inside the adapter. Thank you again..

    Very instructive video. Our home team of three boys were able to use this as our first project with our new Weller D550 solder gun. We finished with a successful green light and a loud "yeah"! The only thing that I would add would be that at 1:57, we didn't see as much spare wire as is shown in the video. In fact, it was so little that we wouldn't have been able to strip the wires. We were able to give the wires a bit of a tug and break the glue bead that is holding the green toroid underneath. Once we freed up that component, we were able to complete the repair. Thanks again.

    Excellent tutorial. I am on my way to Radio Shack to pick up a soldering tool and try this out myself. I've never used a soldering iron. Any tips specific to this project? What type gauge wire should I get?

    White and Black wires were 1/8" heat shrink, Power cord was 7/32" It was my first time soldering and my wires ended up too thick so be careful there. It was a pain in the a$$ to open up the adapter, but eventually got it open. Used Rosin Core Solder. Borrow the solder from a friend. Total investment, $5.48 from an AutoZone and about 20 minutes of my time. Great video!

  • @TheMontroe
    @TheMontroe 10 лет назад +2

    Was it due to rolling it around those 2 hinges which stick out?

  • @ProgressivKSA
    @ProgressivKSA 8 лет назад +3

    Amazing!! Thank you. Definitely worth the risk since the charger is trash when the cord rips anyways.
    I got away with using a lot of electric tape since I didn't have heat shrink tubes.
    Soldering is important don't skip that.
    I wrapped the charger in electric tape to close the housing back up.
    Easy fix, took 5 minutes tops! :) Used a lighter instead of soldering iron too :P

  • @jaipobadora7878
    @jaipobadora7878 7 лет назад +1

    Thank you so much for this video. My charger is now up and working!
    By the way, I thought of not throwing away the tube that connects to the brick and separates the positive and negative wires to somehow retain its originality (and neatness). So I just get rid of those old wires then put back the tube and inserted the newly stripped wires then put back the cover and it's done!

  • @hilltomlinson1592
    @hilltomlinson1592 10 лет назад

  • @einarheinsson6997
    @einarheinsson6997 10 лет назад

    Thanks for the instructions. Made a little adjustment to it, took the rubber thing that mounts the cable to the adapter. Drilled it out and stuck the wire throug and superglued the wire inside of it. Looks like new and works like a charm.
    Thank you!

  • @ramzi4187
    @ramzi4187 8 лет назад +1

    it worked with me without dismantling it, i used a knife to remove the plastic right outside the adapter and i connected whatever is left of the wires there. Just make sure that both wires don't touch,(what's in the insulation is 1 wire, whats just copper is another wire) or else you will fry the whole thing.

  • @PhilWollerman
    @PhilWollerman 9 лет назад +12

    You're using the wire stripper the wrong way around, that's why you have to use so much force.

  • @bostonbillymac
    @bostonbillymac 10 лет назад +2

    FYI you can use the old rubber restraint, pull wires out first, then use an awl to seperate old cord sheathing from rubber restraint it is heat bonded usually, twist and pull old rubber tube piece out, then put a little bit of clean water on end of newly cut off cord, water will help cord pass through old rubber restraint, you want clean water because your going to glue this later ! Don't splice and cut your cables until after the wire is pulled through, after wire sizes and lengths are correct, clean all parts with alcolhol and use crazy glue or rubber cement and slide cord backwards into restraint and let dry completely depending on your cement type, then put back together. P.S. its much safer to solder the wires exactly where the old wires are on the circuit board, splicing is not recomended !!

  • @georgecarr68
    @georgecarr68 9 лет назад

    Thank you for the info, I was relieved to see it was only two wires being the connector has 5 prongs. I repaired the 85w Mag Safe 2, it was not necessary for me to break apart the casing. I just carefully stripped back the wires with a razor knife. I re soldered the shielding cable and it was back to work. A bit of solder and electrical tape got the job done.

  • @AfrikanAdventures
    @AfrikanAdventures 10 лет назад +1

    Thanx a million. It was a simple yet great instruction. I did something extra. I have reused the little white rubber that supports and is around the cable. I have drilled it with a very slow drill, and put the cable through it. It came great.
    Thanks

    @asamarea 7 лет назад

    My 13" MacBook Pro had been on its way out with an intermittent power supply problem for 2 or 3 days not charging. Not completely broken. If the cable was held in a straight position it worked fine. So I have used a matching internal diameter size, 2cm to 3cm length Rawl Plug as a kind of "splint". With a stanley knife I slit the plug down the side and then clipped it over the connection bit and part down the wire as a sheath. Then bound it very tightly using three thin cable ties. It works a treat, splinting the weak area. If you want to know more please respond. Thanks for your vid and the ideas!

    • @octavalent
      @octavalent 8 лет назад

      +Guilherme Vieira The outer fraying stuff needs to be connected and isolated from the inner core. There are effectively 2 wires, the fraying stuff is one, the inner core the other. You have to turn the fraying stuff into a wire by twirling it and then popping some isolation around it, heat shrink in this case. otherwise you could always try to solder the fraying stuff in place as it stands. Good luck with that.

    I was able to use a similar method to what you described when repairing a DENAQ Magsafe (third party piece). I just twisted the wires and covered them with duck tape and used zip ties and duck tape to seal the case for lack of the cool equipment. Pretty ugly but it WORKS! Thank you so much!

    @GuilhermeBoechat 9 лет назад +2

    Thanks for sharing the hack. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, though... One thing that I think you can do to improve your video is to mention how fragile the black wire coming out of the charger is (at 2:00, "get rid of that thing"). It broke when I tried to peel off the rubber from that black wire and now I can't weld it back in place.

  • @gwen2479

  • @MikeeHollMartz
    @MikeeHollMartz 9 лет назад +1

    That plastic thing at 1:49... Is it just to hold the wires in place? it doesn't have anything to do with the electricity flow or something? I wouldn't want to fry my battery just for getting rid of that thing...

    Thanks for the video. It's always nice to verify how to disassemble a unit before doing it yourself.
    Saved my lil bro ~$80 by simply cutting off the 3-4" of cable closest to the hard case housing.. and re-soldering it.
    Just fyi for anyone else doing this.
    Slip off the boot (the strain relief part in the hardcase) and re-use it.
    A lot of times, mfg silicone or glue this in place.. it seems Apple did not, which is awesome.. as you can re-use it.
    It makes the repaired product look good as new, except for a few inches shorter. :)
    Just be sure to slide it back on the wire before re-soldering the cable into the housing.

    Thanks for your help, i did this and its working great. And to speed up the process I ghetto rigged it even a little more. I didn't have flat pliers to get into the casing, so I just used the soddering gun to melt that rubber stub so I had wire showing on both sides of the weak point, then I just sodderred the outside wire back together and taped it (or you could insert a new wire here and sodder both ends). No cutting involved.
