Thank You So Much after 2 years it helped me.

Okay: I can Confirm this video has either a previously opened magsafe2 or a close none OEM one: 0:29 you can see on the side there is a place for retainers, they are missing. 1:21 this is misleading as the original has an extra housing going over the top which is again missing in this example the negative wire can be attached to any part of the metal bridge which is not in this video. 1:25 this is the same, but you have to thread through a hole of the "bridge" mentioned earlier 1:56 final note, the orignal is all covered in glue, so getting to this point requires some heavy poking... glue does not melt, but with heat it does crumble easier.

[@benw4544]

So the neutral is soldered to the bridge, and the live to the board? I just opened mine up, and you're right, it looks nothing like OP's - if it did, this would be an easy fix. CHEERS!

[@jjvandonkelaar]

CANofART, dude the cable has a positive wire (white) and the shielding that’s around it is the negative. Twist that shielding cable together for your negative. He did a great job.

[@neelusharma7046]

Unable to open the MagSafe pin which just popped out in few seconds. I am struggling too hard to open that. Please suggest something

[@honestview]

@@jjvandonkelaar Yes, he did... but you haven't seen what the original looks like, and in his video there are parts missing... here: i.imgur.com/AwCE4uq.jpg That's what I mean... I don't debate that he did a good or bad job, I am just saying that its not the ORIGNAL and the OEM part is different.

[@honestview]

@@neelusharma7046 are you saying one of these pins popped out: static.righto.com/images/magsafe/1-magsafe_connector_labels.png ?

[@CANofART]

0:18 No way .. HOW? It's supposed to just "POP OUT" so easy? NO WAY! I had to loosely pinch it in a vice and hammer it out with extreme force! the top is full of glue and looks nothing like 0:30 it is all sealed up

[@shazzz2909]

I’m still trying to get my one out since 4 hours ago, still no luck

[@honestview]

@@shazzz2909 The good news is, you can buy just a cable for cheap off eBay under $5 I believe. But you can try to give a good solid hit with a hammer, and see if it comes out... if the head is completely detached from the cable you can try oven bake it for a few min to loosen up the glue, but that is an equal risk you are going to be taking as to hammering it out.

[@fiddlestx123]

Bro I knew I wasn’t crazy. I’m here looking for tools while this guy pops it out like it’s a push pop

[@honestview]

@@fiddlestx123 Yeah, it is not as easy as he makes it out to be, what he has is obviously not an OEM part. You'll spend a chunk of time clearing out the glue inside afterwards too. (that is if you ever get it out.)

[@fiddlestx123]

@@honestview I ended up buying a knock off from Amazon for about $20 bc after I spent the time clearing the glue and soldering that when I attempted to pop the thing out I actually jacked it up. The $20 knock off works but most def a fire hazard

[@666flashback]

This video is totally useless because it doesnt show how to properly remove the inner part of the plug. It wont come out at all and you can breake it in the process.

[@Modemic]

Maybe the second video will help you more kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6no4OmnZKYqq8

@@Modemic That's a completely unrelated video

[@D3RF972]

Excellent💪🏾, merci j'ai pu réparer mon chargeur

[@MissPernickety]

Having ruined mine, but finally getting it out fairly easily. You have to gently heat the outer casing, I used a lighter, holding the plug with pliers. gently heat all around it and then push, it comes out almost as easily as he showed. Trouble is I tried too hard before I attempted the heating method and it's buggered the circuit board, which incidentally looks slightly different to the one shown, but you can still see where to solder the wires to.

[@KarlGauti]

just the man I needed to see, thanks

[@josemendozaperez3726]

Good job, thanks for sharing this video.

[@icoebtg]

Best Tuto ever! Just saved my laptop with its 12v charger.. had a bit of a doubt if the ground had to go both sides (as other tutorials showed) but then decided to trust and solder on only one side (opposite to the positive wire)... it works perfectly, and with both side up of the charger. Thanks thanks thanks.

[@Ray-lk8zv]

at the end you can see it doesn't work

[@iisbetoq]

BolJug, Boleh Juga, save dulu thank you mister

[@calorion]

Getting the inside of the connector to slide out was really difficult. I finally did it by resting the lip on something (a vise in my case), then pounding the screwdriver in with a small hammer.

[@Modemic]

Hey calorion we are happy to hear that you tried our fix. the glue we are using is just a simple superglue . and about the other part you have i guess it is a different manufacturer as there are a lot off cables like this running in the market.

[@neelusharma7046]

Unable to open the MagSafe pin which just popped out in seconds in your video. I am struggling with that please suggest some technique

[@Modemic]

Hey neelu, when it shows up in the video?

[@neelusharma7046]

Hey it’s when u pop out the inner chip part 0.18 in the video. I cut the cable then tried to open but it’s very hard to do that and I am stuck in this lockdown and unable to get any help. Please suggest me something

[@Modemic]

@@neelusharma7046 try to genteelly warm it up using a heat gun or any other method you can come up with in order to release the glue that is holding it. but be very careful not to over heat it otherwise you might damage you board. have a nice day and stay healthy.

[@honestview]

​@@Modemic For anyone reading this months later... There are glues which melt under heat... this glue does not. under extreme temps (in my case 250C) it starts to crumble, so heating up your MagSafe connector, unfortunately, won't do much. I just hammered it out, even though it felt like it was going to explode under pressure... or do what this "genius" did and cut it apart kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZKxmouJq6xordU

[@aapkadostanurag3097]

Such a misleading video. Totally lost the circuit after hours of time waste in pulling out the pin. I request all the viewers to ban this guy so that other people won't suffer losses.

[@lornamcdevitt4200]

Thank you so much! I was panicking as I have a new job and need to work over the weekend, my charger would not work. Low and behold, there was a staple stuck inside! Thank you!!!!

[@Modemic]

Hey manoj, in our case we did not need to heat the connector to pull it out but it may vary.

[@calorion]

I think they changed the design to fix the very problem you had of the wires pulling out. On mine, at least, the connector seemed glued in, so heat would probably help.

[@rys9993]

Ha Ha. It is very useful but with a little lie. To open this plug you have to use the hummer and a Hex bit, not screwdriver, ha ha. Don't keep it in hand: put the plug on the desk, inside the edge of closed tweezers, then put the Hex bit inside back of the plug, then hit the hummer in the bit. In 50% it will destroy the electronic main board inside the plug, but I had a luck and have repaired my plug :) Thanks to your video. Thank you!

[@ericcartman6558]

Thank you

[@lucmaradan4370]

thank youuu

[@CeZarMusic]

That isn't an original magsafe2 connector, the original ones have molded plastic on the little board, it's apple's idea of preventing anyone from fixing the damn thing.

[@longgolf5530]

My cable is entirely disintegrated (except for the internal white wire, which is hi-temp durabel stuff). I need to find a new piece of cable and put it in as per above video.

[@karanchabhadiya]

Quick. Easy. Simple. Just repaired my MagSafe 2 charger through this tutorial. Thanks for this..😊

[@flammaferus2998]

Don't lie, please. It's not really easy .......It's difficult. Everything related to the repair of the cable charger for the MacBook is done so that a person would buy a new MacBook charger.

[@graeme5060]

​@@flammaferus2998It's easy if you have basic electronics or soldering skills. If not, then it's definitely going to be hard.

[@AdrianBridgett]

Putting the end onto an iron, then using one pair of pliers on the short edges of the plug case and another holding the (computer) end that sticks out (and then _levering_ this set of pliers against the plug case, wobbling from side to side) really helped get it out. OTOH I cannot for the life of me desolder or otherwise remove the wires from the circuit board. Maybe my soldering iron is too weak.

[@publicAvoid-qn3zn]

I know I'm late, but check whether your soldering iron is oxidized. When the soldering iron is oxidized solder won't stick to it and the iron won't transfer heat properly. In that case I'd suggest changing the tip if you can, or slightly sandpaper the oxidized layer. Make sure to always have the tip coated with tin so it doesn't oxidize :)

[@mdabdulmoiz]

0:20 that won't come out so easily i think you heated first, I tried without heating and damaged now have to buy new one

[@paullewis3914]

Thank you. This video helped me salvage my existing charger until a new one arrived. Much appreciated!

[@manojkrishna2200]

Its hard and i cant able to take out the circuit board do i need to apply some heat to remove it from the socket?

[@Modemic]

Hey manoj, in our case we did not need to heat the connector to pull it out but it may vary.

[@calorion]

My inner connector has an entire metal bracket on the back that yours doesn't have. Any clues on what to do? I can't get the remnant of the broken wires out.

[@calorion]

I managed to get them out with a pair of iFixit tweezers,, a magnifying glass on a stand, and a lot of effort and patience.

[@Modemic]

@@calorion effort and patience it is what it's all about

what an OG.....Just saved me £45

[@farhadjabbri4331]

Nice video but don't think pushing the inner part of charging port with screwdriver be a correct advise for education. specially first timer. I've opened many and the original condition has those rubbery white resin in corners and transparent at the middle. transparent because of the two LED as orange and green can pass the beam. pushing metal object from back means going right in the middle of the PCB. also need a bit of heating either socking in solvent like Acetone. and heaps of cleaning inside the cover.

nice and very productive video...can you help me with sinked in pins of MagSafe2 charger...can i take out the pin-set to clean
