Have you ever wondered how you can fix your charger in the tundra?
Let's consider a hypothetical situation. You are a hipster with a MacBook, but also a geologist. You arrived somewhere far, far away and successfully broke the charger, you are sitting crying, where now to edit photos and write an essay.
But the problem has a solution
All you need after you listen to your colleagues and throw away half the unnecessary parts is: eraser, mosquito coil, pins, knife, duct tape.
First of all, a little theory.
The key feature of the magnetic charger plug on MacBooks is that it can be inserted in either direction. Well, it’s also magnetic, yes. The effect is achieved as follows:
The first and fifth contacts come from the outer braid. The second and fourth branches off from the inner one. Thus, no matter how you stick it in, you can’t confuse a plus with a minus. The external will remain external, the internal internal.
There is no magnet in the connector. He's on a MacBook.
So what to do?
First, cut the pins that will become contacts in the future. Then take a couple and pierce the eraser with them. Next, it should be trimmed to the maximum. The main task at this stage is to fix the pins in a certain position.
After this, we carefully make a mold from the remaining eraser, which will be a platform for all our contacts, both external and internal. We outline what goes where and stick the existing structure so that the sharp ends form the same contacts. After which we cut them off safely.
When, after the fourteenth time, you manage to stick them where they should be, we begin the next stage. We wrap this story first with inner braiding, and then with electrical tape.
The tenth time you will be able to do it carefully. That, in general, is all.
They have one unpleasant property - they wear out quite quickly. Sometimes it’s just ugly: the internal “filling” of the wire turns black against the background of the white shell. Sometimes it’s very, very bad, because “charging” stops working. Need to do something! Do you want to save 5 thousand rubles on buying a new accessory? Read our instructions!
In contact with
First of all, disconnect the cable from the network. Further actions depend on its performance.
If the wire has just started to fray and is still charging MacBook, it will not be difficult to correct the situation. All you need to do is buy liquid electrical tape (the price is 300 rubles), apply it to the damaged area using a brush (usually included) and let it dry for an hour. This way you will solve several problems at once: you will prevent further destruction of the wire, avoid problems with the “electrical” part and (if the liquid electrical tape is white) make the repaired wire more elegant in appearance. The same can and should be done with worn-out cables for iPhone and iPad.
If you realize it too late and MacBook no longer charges from a frayed wire - no big deal! For such cases, there is a special step-by-step guide from iFixit. You don't have to be an electrician to do everything right.
If something doesn’t work out, or you don’t want to bother, you can always:
1.
Buy a used cable on eBay or at a local flea market. It is quite possible to save up to 50% of the price of the official accessory.
2.
Take advantage of the one-year standard (if not already expired) or three-year extended (if purchased) Apple warranty.
Good luck in solving the problem - and next time keep an eye on the condition of your “cable” equipment! :)
Fair, not overpriced and not underestimated. There should be prices on the Service website. Necessarily! without asterisks, clear and detailed, where technically possible - as accurate and concise as possible.
If spare parts are available, up to 85% of complex repairs can be completed in 1-2 days. Modular repairs require much less time. The website shows the approximate duration of any repair.

If you need MacBook charging repair in Moscow, contact Yudu specialists. The technicians registered on our website will conduct computer diagnostics, determine the causes of the breakdown and quickly restore full operation of the charger. It can be repaired on the same day you call.
Yudu performers will fix any problem in a laptop with an apple logo. They will repair the power supply, charge controller, adapter and connector. Also, if necessary, they will replace the cable on the charger so that the MacBook Air begins to fully charge.
Service center services are required if:
When MacBook Pro charging cannot be repaired, Yudu's performers will recommend purchasing a new charger. If the problem is in the MacBook itself, a specialist will carefully check all the parts that are responsible for charging the battery and repair the necessary elements.
The weak point of the MacBook Air is the cable. Over time, it frays at the joints. The integrity of the cable can be damaged mechanically. Supplying power through a damaged cable may cause problems with other parts of your Mac.
More modern MacBook Air models do not have such problems, since they have a built-in adapter. But after contact with moisture, it may stop working and you will need professional help.
When the first signs of inoperability of the original charger appear, seek help from specialists. They will match the adapter to your laptop model, since the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 2013 have different adapters.

With Apple, everything is not like with people, even the power supply for their Macbook laptop is different from the usual adapters. The material could well be a description of a successful repair, but the repair was unsuccessful, but first things first. They brought in a small old Apple Macbook for repair, in which the adapter either did not charge, then charged after tugging and moving the connector, and recently stopped working altogether.
The power supply is assembled in a small white plastic case. The power supply is connected to the PC using a special plug - for this there is a corresponding socket on the side wall of the MacBook. The plug has a light indication - so, if the battery is charging, the indicator glows orange; and if the battery is already charged - green. Naturally, first of all, three options for reasons for refusal arise:
1) Wear at the end of the cable is the most common problem. Appears due to the fact that the user, when disconnecting charging from the MacBook, pulls on the cable, and not on the MagSafe port itself.
2) Wear at the base of the cable. Occurs due to improper cable winding around the power supply.
3) Failure of the MagSafe connection controller. In this case, charging can sometimes infect, and sometimes not.
Let's see what we can do with all this. To begin with, I tried not to open, but to literally pick apart the power supply housing, since there are no screws there, and instead of latches, as is often done on remote controls, for example, everything is simply sealed along the contour.
Having opened it halfway, I was already able to reach with the tester the contacts of the two wires included in the power supply board. The continuity test showed a short circuit, which disappeared after cutting one of the conductors.
It is clear that now you have to work with the plug. And the Apple Macbook plug is equipped with an original magnetic fastening - MagSafe Connector. It simplifies the connection of the charger to the laptop (it is enough to bring the plug to the connector, and it begins to “reach out” to the correct installation in the connector). It also makes the battery charging procedure safer, because if during charging the cord is pulled too tightly - say, someone hooks it with their foot - the connector will disconnect on its own; Otherwise, the laptop could fall off the table and break.
Apple uses smart power supplies in its laptops, which means that, in addition to the supply voltage, there is an information channel. The plug of the block contains a microcircuit that “communicates” with the multicontroller (SMC) on the motherboard. The microcircuit has a memory area in which data about the block is written (manufacturer, serial number, power, etc.), and until the Macbook “reads” this information, it will not work from this block.
Having disassembled the plug, I saw that the wires from 5 contacts were almost torn off, and the ground wire, in the form of a braid, was all torn and shorted everything to a miniature scarf, which is installed in the plug.
Naturally, repairs here are very difficult, especially since some of the tracks on the scarf are torn. Of course, if you really want to, you can try to restore contacts, and some specialists have done this, but all this is so small and unreliable that it’s better to just buy a new power supply.
