Repair your broken Laptop power cord
Fix your laptop power cord that hasn’t been supplying consistent power for the past month, and completely died today. No matter how much you fondle the cord into this position or that , it won’t charge your battery or power-up your computer.
Here’s the fix that costs zero dollars and only requires patience, some basic tools, electrical tape, and the perseverance that only a true cheapskate can muster. I performed this instructable on my very own HP Pavillion’s power cord and adapter.
step 1?Set up and Evaluation
Tools I used: Chisel, Hacksaw, Electrical tape (or shrink tubing), wire cutters and/or strippers, flat head screwdriver (preferably sharp-ish and wide-ish), optional: two monkey wrenches for prying.Time: It took me about 1 hour, most of which was spent figuring out how to pry open the adapter box…

step 3?HP ac adapter insides
This is the precious inside(hp Pavilion DV6000 AC Adapter). Top view and bottom view. I pretty much didn’t open up any further than this and I tried to avoid any damage to any parts inside.
step 4?Fixing the cord
The cord was coiled up slightly inside the box. I pulled it out all the way. Cut the cord at the end of the rubber spring thing (aka “strain relief”) where the cord was breaking. Then I tried stripping off the “strain relief” w/ pliers… that didn’t work, so I used a razor blade and slit one s…
step 5?Close up shop, may add reenforcements
Finally, I got to shut-er up. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the benefit of an adapter box that locked shut or was fused or glued shut, so I got clever with some duck tape and Black e-tape for finishing. Some commenters have innovated and closed up the adapter box w/ a glue-gun. I’m sure a glue-gun…
