How To Repair Apple Charger Cord

Introduction

Sometimes the cable starts peeling just at that place where it meets the Air-conditioning Adapter. I've met too many people that throw away their chargers because of this. It takes fourth dimension and patience but repair is possible!

Nasty cut.

Nasty cut.

Unplug your AC power cord.

Unplug your Air-conditioning power cord.

Wait at the line that goes though the charger. This is all glued with some super agglutinative that prevents you from but taking it apart.
Yous will take to cut through that plastic, go all the way around following that modest space with your knife.
This will have a while, you take to cut the plastic from all the 4 sides. Y'all will notice when you have cut through nigh of it.
Be careful with the side shown in the last picture show. At that place are a couple of components that might be cut in the process.

With a flat headed screwdriver start separating both plastic faces from the charger. You need to use a piddling force to practice this.
In one case y'all have separated all sides with the screw driver, it still wont come off. This matter is glued to all sides of the plastic.
Insert the screwdriver into the top part of the charger and carefully separate the foil from the plastic enclosure. Be careful equally to not rip off the foil from the inner part of the charger.

In this step I already took off one face of the plastic enclosure.
Utilize the screwdriver to loosen up the adhesive on both sides of the ability connector.
Insert the screwdriver on the remaining face of the plastic enclosure and carefully loosen upward the residual of the adhesive.

Yous should end up with this block. Put away the plastic enclosure.

Grab the small plastic slice that attaches the cables to the Air conditioning charger.
Cut the cables equally well-nigh every bit you tin to the plastic piece.

Peel the plastic off the cable with a knife or a wire stripper.

Take the cable that connects to your mac book and carefully peel it off with a knife or a wire stripper.
Untangle the outer wire to reveal the white cable inside.
Twirl up nicely the outer wire and pare a small bit of the white cable to bring together the to the AC charger.

Join both white cable wires and solder them together.
Remember that the white wire from the Ac adapter NEEDS to exist soldered to the white wire from the cable that comes from the MacBook connector.
The blackness insulated cover tube on the cablevision is to isolate the cable later, you can use oestrus to shrink it.
The last motion picture shows the black insulated cover tube, you can cut information technology up to fit the length yous need.
It is very of import to isolate both wires, they cannot touch each other or else they volition short circuit (in other words: Kaboom!).

Continue to solder the black cable from the AC charger to the outer wire of your Macbook connector.
Isolate that wire. Yous don't need to comprehend up the whole extension of the outer wire, but plenty so that information technology won't bear on the white cable or the circuit lath of the Air-conditioning adapter.
You can utilise the black rubber tube or electric tape. If you use the black tube endeavor to keep it equally far away as possible when soldering to prevent it from shrinking earlier you cover the wire.

Cover upwardly with electric tape the rest the white and black/outer cable you simply soldered.
Bring together them together with electrical tape as to form one cable and place the AC charger in 1 of the faces of the plastic enclosure.
White electrical record makes this fix look nicer.
Take 3 small-scale zip ties and necktie them around the cable to stop it from being pulled out of the plastic enclosure.

Put modest bits of super glue on the borders of the enclosures. Place the other face of the plastic enclosure and close upwards the Air conditioning charger.
Don't forget the plastic tabs that let you wrap your cable on the charger... Even though those are the main cause for your cable tearing upwardly! I unremarkably choose to leave them out or mucilage them to the enclosure to prevent the cable breaking once more.

Tie 4 large zip ties to shut up the enclosure, 2 on each side.
Some people adopt to utilise just super glue because it looks nicer but zero ties make information technology safer. If you like it better without the zip ties, take them out subsequently a few hours after the super glue has bonded completely.
