As we prep to get our solar MacBook chargers back in stock, we got together in our Brooklyn conference room to make some MagSafe adapters. They are not works of art, but they are functional. We splice used MagSafe adapters from old MacBook AC chargers to our DC Out Cables using X-Acto blades, wire strippers, solder, heat shrink tubing and caffeine.
If you have an old MacBook AC charger that you aren’t using, don’t throw it away! Send us the last 10-12 inches leading up to the MagSafe and we’ll pay you $10 and give you a big virtual hug.
My puppy bit through the cable for the new air with the metal cased MagSafe 2.
I have taken it apart but need to know how to solder the wires back to the magnetic head.
Can you advise?
Thanks!
Hi Budd,
Sorry your puppy is attracted to expensive and hard to repair cables. We typically don’t work with them when the failure is at that point – there are a couple articles on iFixit address this topic for older MacBooks.
