Repairing Laptop Ac Power Cord.

[SporkRocker]

This cord still technically works, It is detoriating in reliabilty. I have to bend and/or wiggle it to work. How it got to so this state I do not know. The replacement for the prick and that end is about 50 dollars from Toshiba. =/ I think some of the copper wires are some how damaged and was going to replace them or something. I don't know how to pop off the end in that picture also, so I can rewire the insides or what.

I was wondering how I might repair this? I have copper wire available, electric tape, and other tools and supplies that might help this.

I have nothing to lose if I fail to get this working as it isn't working correctly at the moment.

Thanks buddy. Although, I don't recall seeing these Coaxial Plugs on the walls or shelfs last time I went to a Radioshack. So I'll have to check on Fri, if not order online.
