Good Luck and I hope the new breed of chargers doesn't cost 79$ or fail so easily.
#Apple macbook charger cord how to
If you use heat shrink tubing instead (which I have had good results with in the past) make sure you slip it on before you start! Congrats on fixing a problem Apple should have never had! Please send me your ideas on how to make this a more friendly process, I would be very interested. In reality i think that I always pull on the cord to unplug the charger so I opted for hot glue hoping it would take better straight on yanks vs shrink tubing's side-to-side protection (who knows though).

All portable mobile chargers and lithium batteries are not allowed in. I used hot glue, making sure to apply at least the first large blob all once in one blast to ensure uniformity. have to be repacked into boxes which are available at the airport for a fee. Solder your connections and use electrical tape on the unshielded wires to protect from shorts. Split the outer sheath wire into two equal groups and tin them to connect to the two points on the MagSafe. I removed the rubbery plastic that is used to secure the joints enough so that I had something to solder to (soldering iron melting and exacto surgery). Exacto Knife (Skilled use of a dremel could save you a lot of time too!) 4. Skills Required: -Adventurous case cracking -Exacto surgery -Hot glue sculpting -Soldering wires Materials necessary: 1. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC. Preparing the Power brick for soldering/ soldering. Apples innovative AC adapter is made specifically for your MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro. Preparing the Magsafe connector for soldering/ soldering. In this Instructable I will cover opening the power brick case via brute force. You must be making a killing on these chargers. You can do it! Apple you should be ashamed of yourself. This instructable is to provide hope for people who must forgo grocery shopping this week if they plan to buy a new charger. Apple knows about this problem, but they have done noting to remedy it. If they do not replace it then start working on this instructable. I would cite reviews on the apple store website if they do not replace yours. You may want to take your charger to apple straight away and see if they will replace this charger. If you use the tabs that fold out and allow you to wrap the cord around the brick you are probably reducing the life of you charger. Eventually the rubber sheath separates from the MagSafe connector or the Power-brick and the wire begin to fray or short, sometimes affecting charging and sometimes smoldering. The wimpy wire used in the design is simply to weak to take any real stress, coiling, and yanks. Apple really dropped the ball on the design of this charger.
