Well guys ! hope you're doing fine

my macbook charger power brick is dead no power no charge i took it to an electtronic guy we opened it , Dead and no burns but the magsafe cable still fine cauz we cut it and tested from another transformater plugged to the macbook

i was thinking for a possibility to connect the magsafe cord with another universal ac power adapter with 60 w and 16.5 V anyone has think of this ??

If it were me, I'd just buy a new power adapter.

In fact, I had one go bad one me once, and I DID just buy a new power adapter. Life's too short to spend the last bit of it cutting and splicing power cords in an effort to save, what, twenty bucks?
 
Buy a new one. If you had written in large font comic sans I would have told you to repair it.
 
3rd party chargers are not to be trusted.
Magsafe is Apple licensed so no other company is suppose to make it unless given permission from Apple.

Buy the official one from Apple and you wont have any problems!
 
those things are $80. I say you build your own. Mine was falling apart i have it all taped up there built like crap.

Didn't the person say he had it all panned out with a universal charger. All you gotta do is get the right voltage and do some splicing.
 
quiet frankly i'm afraid to burn the hell of my macbook , iwas asking if someone had an experience with this

any instructions ?
 
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, I would not recommend you build your own. The risk of fire from a bad splice or short is too great. Just buy a new one and save yourself a lot of headache.
 
thanks mate , i think i have to buy a new one, i'm not risking with my macbook
