Around one and a half years my laptop’s charger died, after five years of intense usage it’s understandable. At that time I’ve chosen to buy an Universal charger from Trust which seemed a nice choice at the moment.

Last month it decided not to work, with exactly the same kind of problems the first one had: the end of the wire near the charger box seemed to be broken.

Instead of go out and buy another charger I’ve decided to open it and try to solve the issue. You can view a full photo reportage in my flickr gallery.

The solution was quite simple and after one month and a couple of days it’s still working with no problems.
