Repair my Macbook Unibody (late 2009) 60W Magsafe charger

From October 2009, till now, I have fixed (maybe some of it cannot be called real repair) my Macbook countless of times on my own. These includes replace the screen due to the cracked, changing/repalced my hard drive many times, replace and also upgrade memory RAM, and most of it are the Magsafe charger.

Power supply detail:
ADP-60AD 60W P Supply
Use for Macbook white late 2009

I am not sure why, but, my magsafe always have thermal dissipation problem and generate heat more than it should when in use. Magnetic connector that attached to the Macbook  get warmer/hotter when I am charging for hours during the longer usage. Even, the magsafe converter (big white square thing) sometimes getting hot too.


magnetic connector separated from supply cable due to excessive heat.


magnetic connector and pins separated from cable


by remove two lock pins,  plastic that hold supply pins can be detached


supply pins plastic holder detached from magnetic connector.


circuit for magsafe dc supply




insert pin into plastic holder and solder it.


using clamper is easier to solder




TESTED WORKING
you can verify the charger by charging your mac


repaired charger are verified and working.



NOW, NEED TO REDO THE OUTER COSMETIC TO MAKE SURE ITS DOES NOT BROKE AGAIN.


insert sumi tube


use plyer to tighting the connector cover into the magnetic 


attach the sumi tube to the cover


heating up the sumi tube to shrink the rubber tube


tada...final result!!!
So, instead of throwing broken charger into the bins, I think, why not we try to fix it. If its work, we will save money and also saving the earth by recycling the product. Cheers

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang jadi s

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan valve udara

HONDA RS150: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES & MOST COMMON SERVICE WORK

Hi all, this is based on the guide book supplied with your motorcycle when you purchased your motorcycle. With this guide table, hopefully, easy for all, planning their motorcycle service. for me, its really useful since I'm doing my RS150 maintenance myself. The list below shows the most common maintenance schedule and what I did for my RS150 (already 22000+km after almost 9 months): Engine oil change, Petronas Sprinta F700: replace every 1600km Oil strainer: clean every 12000km Spark plug: replace every 12000km (can replace with a high-performance spark plug to reduce maintenance frequency) Fuel filter: replace every 18000km Coolant fluid: replace every 12000km following oil strainer clean work Below are is the maintenance schedule from the guide book. Hope this sharing help
