[Tommy Ward] had a huge issue with the cord for his laptop power supply. This thing’s not affordable so he figured out a method to repair the frayed cord on his Apple MagSafe. He asserts that the shortened rubber collar on the plug end of the cord is to blame for this type of damage. We believe rough utilize may have something to do with it too, however having had to repair work our own feline-damaged power cords we’re not about to begin pointing fingers.
To pull off an appropriate repair [Tommy] pries apart the situation housing the power converter. This lets him get at the solder connections of the cord. After eliminating it from the circuit card he clips off the damaged part of the cable. To reuse the strain relief grommet he drilled out the old part of cable as well as insulation, making space for the undamaged cable to pass through, adding a cable tie on the inside to aide in strain relief. The last part of the repair includes gluing whatever back together.
If your power supply issues have to do with the computer connector itself there’s a repair for that too.
