Is it possible to replace the tip on AC Adapter cord ??

The cord on my AC Adapter has broken at the tip.

Is it possible to replace it ??

 

not ones like those, but you can buy a universal charger.

 

Yes it is, I have replaced those and many other kinds.

Just depends on how professional you want it to be what you need to do it.

Anything from a knife and electrical tape can get the job done, you just need to find a cord that has the same end you want to replace.

You splice the cord and fix it in the cord not just add the tip to the end.

When I was a kid my parents thought they could one up me and kill my video games by cutting cords..... ^^ well it never worked.

 

That is HILARIOUS !!!!

 

I was way to damn smart as a kid, I dont think it would be far fetched to say I was smarter then than I am now, and I still have a 142 IQ even now.

Just find yourself some cheapo cord with that piece on the end and splice it in, garage sales, dollar store, or maybe you just have something laying around the house that has a cord like that that you dont need anymore.

Some silicon beans and crimps, and some heat shrink shielding and your good as new for ALOT cheaper than a new cord.

There should be consumer end replacment ends you can put on the end of the cord aswell that will unscrew and let you place the wires in there and screw back together, havnt looked for one, but radio shack or something would be the first place I would go look if you wanted to do it that way.

 

You and me both! Mine is 142 as well. Wish I had MORE common sense to go with it though! LMAO!!

 

common sense is not always so common it contradicts itself

The family life is what killed my brain, that and not being in school anymore.

 

I actually just repaired it and it's now working GREAT!!!

Just take an Exacto knife and slice the connector open. You'll see where the ground wire (bundle of teeny wires have broken). After you slice it open, cut back the far enough to connect the wires again.

Solder the connections back together, then black tape the snot out of it all and YOU'RE DONE!!!

Save your $25-40 and fix them yourselves!

 

My answer was for something a little less intensive - such as a plug and play fix. With enough effort, you could theoretically fix anything.

 

I've done that a bunch of times too, to my old gateway. I figured it was already broken anyways, so it couldn't hurt anything to cut it open and at least try to fix it. It does look pretty ghetto, but it works. Later you'll start doing it to all kinds of stuff, when you realize things aren't as complicated as you think. I used to be the type who'd be afraid to change my own ram or air filter in my car. A couple years later I can do brakes with my eyes closed or replace my valve train... Dealer wanted 2k to do it... I looked up instructions online, sought help in a car forum when needed, and after admittedly 4 entire days of work and several points where I wanted to give up, I did it myself for 200 bucks. I wish there were the depth of technical knowledge here that you could use this place for guidance on doing similar things. But it seems most just want to talk about how much ram and which video card people should buy.

 

My work here is done
