In Which I Briefly Become Tony
For one glorious moment, I felt like Tony Stark...and by that I mean I fixed my laptop charger.
A few months ago, my laptop charger died and I had to buy a replacement part so I didn't have to suffer at the hands of Dino Comp. Well, today I was pretty surprised when I pulled the cord from my laptop and half of it stayed connected to my laptop. I went D8 and looked at where it broke...unfortunately, without a solder gun and some solder, there was no way I could fix it. Luckily my pack-rat self had kept my original charger that came with my laptop.
Since I had a good guess what was wrong with it, I said what the heck and dissected the ac input, stripped some wires and twisted them together, then electrical tapped the said connections...and it worked. I stared at my work sure it was going to explode or something but..it worked <3 Eventually, I am going to replace my charger...again... But for now I think this works pretty well [puffs out chest]
Now I am off to build a computer!
