Magsafe L connector disassemble. Replace the connector.
I have three 60w magsafe 1 power adapters. Two of them are fully original (including the cables) and one has a non original wire wit L connector replaced. It’s a well known fact that those replacement cables with L connectors do not work properly, the charging indicator is always green (even when the battery is being charged) and the overcharge protection doesn’t work. But on the other hand, the quality of the unoriginal replacement wire is a hundred times better than the Apple original, because apple’s wires crack very fast. Mine actually cracked like a year after I bought it new from one of those apple shops.
So I want to disassemble the original Apple L connector and solder it to the unoriginal cable. I don’t mind cutting off the replacement L connector, as it is of no use for me, because when I use it with my Macbook pro 13” late 2011, the battery gets hot, and when I used it with my Macbook white mid 2009, the battery swelled and now when I use that MB 2009 with the unoriginal cable, with no battery, it won’t even turn on (it does turn on when used with fully original power adapter).
So… disassemble an original magsafe L connectror and solder it to another wire. How do I do that? In fact the problem is more about disassembling the L connector, because I do know how to solder things.
Cette question est-elle utile ?

Sources please..a personal opinion presented as a "well known fact" doesn't make much sense. In my opinion and experience you stepped into a faulty cable, that's all..

@arbaman - I suspect the real issue is a fake charger!
● Warning over fake chargers and second-hand electrics
● Safety tests of 400 fake Apple chargers bought online reveal that 99% are dangerous

The biggest problem now it Apple has stop selling the original MagSafe chargers and only the MagSafe2 are available from them directly.

@danj It may be, I've seen a few pieces of junk with a beautiful plastic cover.
