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. Preparing the Power brick for soldering/ soldering. 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.
