charger wire repair complete!

ah, its been a long time since i've used my tool box, and oh boy its still messy as it ever was!


as to fixing the broken laptop charger's tip, i used:
a new surprisingly cheap yet efficient solder gun, my moms old trustee glue gun, a cutter,


and obviously a solder wire.
oh, and duct tape and some metal.

before the fix is the broken charger tip:


to start fixing the broken modded charger, i had to take off the hardened glue by firstly chopping it to bits, carefully so as to not the working wires, then after most of it was cut off, i used my glue gun and melted the rest off. this process took roughly about 6 hours. thankfully that day i had no hw.

the next day after school, i de-soldered the loose/broken wire which took 2 hours or less so as to avoid more conflicting wire problems. then i grabbed a new better wire and soldered on the new wire to the charger which is a very VERY tough task to do without a holding device.

after connecting the wire, dangerously might i add as the charger was still uncovered in the air, i grabbed the glue gun and covered the working charger in glue that i had chopped off before in thinner amounts than previously used.



with a working covered charger, i then took parts of an old broken laptop charger's brick metal casing and used those parts to cover the glued parts of the charger, thus giving the charger a more tougher structure as bending the tip of the charger may have been the cause of the loose/broken wire in the charger. user error.



then to put a worrying mind to rest, i layered the glue covered metal topped charger tip with layers of tight duct tape, possibly hopefully decreasing the chances of the tip bending by accident.

and with all that done, i have fixed my laptops' chargers' tip! and proudly name it charger 2.0!

old VS new

some pics to prove it works fabulously! >:D



next thing to repair if i aint lazy, my lil sis butterfly laptop fan.
