My Macbook MagSafe charger for the past few months would occasionally stop charging. I would need to patiently wiggle the cord to a certain position to get it to start charging again. This is similar to the HP charger I issue I fixed several years ago.  I know from gut that there is a break inside the main magsafe and the cord. As I’m a DIY kinda of guy I’ve decided to fix it. Instead of buying a new charger of which will cost me $$.

Things you need to get this job done.

• A pair of pliers,
• thick cloth,
• soldering iron,
• soldering lead and
• electrical tape.

Step 1: Wrap the pliers with cloth and clamp on the magnetic part and gently pull it from the body casing.
Step 2: Gently pull the innards out from the casing.

Step 3: Cut about an inch from the base.

Step 4: Unsolder from the base, if you can salvage those black shrinkage thing the better.

Step 5: Prepare the wiring then slightly cut the outer cover to reveal the wire and pull them aside. Then make another cut about a few cm on the inner cover to expose wiring.

Step 6: Push the insides back to the body casing and then start soldering back the base.

Step 7: Snap back the magnetic tip to the base. That should be it.
