If your MacBook no longer charges or you don't see the little orange or green charging light when it's plugged in, check the cord for signs of damage.
In this guide we will change the cord connecting the charger to the MacBook.
Alternatively, you can use this guide to repair your existing cable instead of replacing it.

Tools required:
-
A decent soldering iron
-
Wire cutters
-
Desoldering pump
-
A big heavy-duty spudger
-
A pair of snap-ring pliers for use with external snap-rings. Really any long-nose pliers would do, this is just perfect for the job if you happen to have a pair :-)
-
Super glue
-
1 or 2 small clamps
-
-
-
Open the cord winding flaps.
-
Heat the power brick's plastic casing with a hair dryer, and/or run a razor blade along the seam between the two halves of the casing, in order to weaken the adhesive. This will make it easier to pry the case open.
-
Insert your pliers and pry slowly. (Make sure they stay seated in the inside corners, or you may injure yourself or gouge the case.)
-
The cord winding flap will fall out.
-
Do the same on the other side.
-
Work slowly!
-
-
-
If your charger is never opened before, it would be difficult to pry it open. Try bench-vise tools to add power your needle nose plier
-
Handle of your needle-nose plier is laid upon the closed bench vise, insert into the casing, then roll the vise slowly.
-
The casing would be cracked and you can continue to next step
-
-
-
Carefully remove the inside from the shell.
-
Use a heavy duty spudger or other pry tool to pry the edge of the A/C connector from the shell, and carefully pry between the shell and the inside to break the foam glue.
-
You may find the metallic sheeting breaks a little; that's okay, but try to minimize the damage!

Apply and repeat to all your friends victim of faulty cable ;-)

This guide was very helpful in figuring out what needed to be done and how to do it. I don't have access to a lead pump so I ended up removing the old wires and then soldering the new ones on top of the remaining solder. So far it's working just fine!
I wasn't able to open my charger, even when using heat, the pliars as shown here and even a knife. As the damage to my cable was a few inches from the charger I just cut the cord and soldered a new one to the end. Cable looks a bit ratty but you could use white tubing to place over the top.
This guide is great and would definitely use it if possible =)
Try using bench vise with needle-nose plier

Thank you guys.. this guide was super helpful, without this I would have to spend 73 box unnecessarily.
Thanks again..
My powersafe adapter(a1436) has broken cable and i want to repair it, do you know how many volts out if you connect the multimeter on the black and white cable? I get 9,77v is that correct?
