Why doesn't a stripped/cracked MagSafe power cable shock?.The low voltage side has enough power and current to start a fire, that is certain so I’d say you are risking safety if you don’t do it well or there is hidden damage you don’t catch and fix. I haven’t heard of anything worse than scorch marks and safely melted plastic on the low voltage side when people shut these cables in a door or roll chairs over them, so I’d say you’re pretty safe if you make sure it works and doesn’t heat up and protect it electrically. This is the low voltage side of the transformer, so the risk is far less than working on the AC side. However, I don't want to break the computer or start a fire over it. I will buy another one, but need an urgent solution right now. I have done similar shenanigans with audio cables and it has always worked for a while. Obviously I would isolate the two wires (copper and the other one) with tape and try to make a decent connection. How dangerous would it be, to cut off the non working connector, expose the cables and connect them together by intertwining the stings? I have another non working magsafe 2, which has perfect pins and after cutting the cord now looks like this:
I am able to unstuck the pins by softly tapping on the connector with my fingernails but it still doesn't work. For some reason after that it stopped working completely. After the usual yanking, I decided to clean both the connector and power plug on my macbook with a toothbrush and cotton. Until now I always managed to get it to work by yanking the cable (in order to unstuck the pins), however now this method is not working anymore.
I have a problem with my magsafe 2 adaptor, it has been stopping to work occasionally for a while now.
