Introduction

Step 1

              How to repair the Apple MagSafe2 Power Adapter with a Damaged Wire
  • To disassemble the T connector, you need to cut the wire 1 cm away from the connector.
  • Pull out the remnants of wire.
  • Take a metal rod 4-5 mm in diameter and push out the inside of the connector through the lumen (hole) of the wire.
  • It is easiest to do this in a small vise,

Step 2

  • Due to impact forces the inner part of the crimped metal will bend. It must be returned to its original shape.
  • This is easy to do with a regular screwdriver.
  • ATTENTION! Do not damage smd (surface mount device) light-emitting diodes and resistors.
  • After that, you need to solder the metal sheath back to the board.

Step 3

  • Cut off the damaged cable and tin (the end)
  • The Outer part = GND
  • The Inner part = +14.5

Cut off the damaged cable and tin (the end)

The Outer part = GND

The Inner part = +14.5

Step 4

  • Slip the heat shrink and the outer part (plastic housing) of the connector onto the wire.
  • Solder the wires,
  • From the factory, the GND is simply crimped with an metal part, but I also soldered it for greaterreliability
  • Assemble connector
  • It is very easy to press it back in with a small vise.
