:: The One with Tapes! ::
Again, something broke. I dont recall damaging this. That’s the damned thing. Argh.
It’s the laptop adaptor cable and it looks like it was rolled over by a car of some sort. Visited the nearby HP store to enquire on a replacement only to find it costs a whopping RM290. Yeap, my jaw dropped when the fatso told me.
Again, I’m not ready to part with that amount so this is gonna be another “How To” thingy.
Step #1:
Get your hands on some electrical wiring tape or even better, insulation tapes which can be purchased from your trusted hardware shop or in my case, Home Fix in 1-Utama/ACE Hardware (Ikano/MidValley) for less than RM5.
Step #2 :
Make sure the power supply is off (nasty surprise if it “shorts”).
The two connecting parts of the wiring should be properly connected/wired. If required cut it off and reconnect them. In this case, the inner wiring looks different and I rather not chance cutting them to rewire.
Cut a length of insulation tape, around 2″-4″ depending on the subject’s diameter. Tape the joint at an angle and make sure ia dililit dengan baik.
Yea, its fugly. But for something MUCH less than RM 290, it will do for the time being.
