Riparazione adattatore di ricarica Microsoft Surface Pro 3/4/5/6/7

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tutorial! It worked perfectly and saved me quite a few bucks for a new charger, much appreciated!!

Thank you! This is the only solution that works for me! All the other official solutions posted on the Microsoft site were useless.

Instructions working perfectly with a surface laptop 4 charger as well. Thank you very much.

Very good, thanks so much!!!

Thank you so much! I manage to fix the %#*@ charger and the problem was exactly what you pointed! You're guide is excellent, even if I'm really bad at sewing and I managed to use some tape, but now it works! Thank you!!!

This is brilliant! It worked. Thanks so much

I listened to a podcast recently where the founder of this website was interviewed and I thought, huh, I didn't know this community existed. And after two failed chargers and going no where with the Microsoft customer service to try to have my laptop repaired I thought I give this a try. I wasn't expecting anything as repairing something when it's broken has never registered in my millennial brain. BUT! This worked like a charm!! I cannot express how grateful I am for people in this community who advocate for repairs rather than replacement. I was so ready to fork out another $1000 for a new laptop and raise a complaint ( even thought about legal action against Microsoft) with ACCC on Microsoft's refusal to have this repaired even though a defect like this should have been covered under Australian Consumer Law. To be honest, I probably still should raise a complaint. It's outrageous how big companies just blatantly ignore the law and tell me that I am not entitled for repair.

What a good solution!

Using a needle and thread to insulate is very simple, although I'm a bit afraid that it will short-circuit again and spark (I don't think it will catch fire because being strongly encapsulated it won't be able to burn).

The definitive solution would be to unsolder the cable and reassemble it, leaving more of the inside insulation, but that is much more complex and risky.

It is incredible that Microsoft manufactures a power supply with such good quality (and high price), having such a weak point. Knowing that the cable causes problems, I have treated it with the utmost care from the first day, but I have not gotten rid of it stopping working.

This was a life saver! I was ready buy a new adapter when I found this. Hard to believe that design flaw exists. Thanks for a great guide!

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. I had 2 power supplies with this issue. One with a short as described on the tutorial and other with a short 1 cm down the connector due an internal broken isolation caused by the metallic washer holding the cables.

Instead of a cotton line, I cut the isolation of another cable and inserted it between the positive and negative cables, then encapsulated everything with a self fusing tape. It is trick to get the right diameter to fits the casing back. So far it has worked well. Thanks again for pointing to the right direction.

Cheers

I could but believe it but this actually worked! Thanks so much!!!!

Works perfect, really appreciate your support!

Kind regards
