Re: Recommendations for replacement MagSafe adapters? - john-o - 09-25-2015
Wow, thanks for the great feedback, one and all. I guess I forgot that OWC sold them used/refurbished, but I'm also cheap enough that I like to find ones in the $35-40 price range, as opposed to $60+.
I'd be curious to learn how you open up the "brick" case to solder on a new cord. I'd do that in a heartbeat if it wasn't too much of a hassle opening that baby up. I've seen clients try, with a screwdriver or knife, and they tend to just mangle the white plastic without gaining any traction at all.
I do know about Sugru too. The problem is that few of my clients do, nor do they take much care in handling their adapters, so they're always failing.
Thanks again, and g'night all!
John
