Recently, despite my best efforts in ninja coilery, my Apple 65W Powerbook Power Adapter bit the dust- a cable short in the pull relief, right where the cable exits the brick. Tragic!

With nothing to lose, I cracked, smashed and pried 'er open and managed to hack together a pretty decent repair job. A few hours and a few screwdriver-induced injuries later, she's uuuuh-gly but working again!
