Extend the longevity of your Macbook charger and save some money while doing so.

The contraption

These Magsafe adaptors have been touted as revolutionary by the industry and myself as well, but their design still holds one downfall – As your wire twist and turns inside the shrink-wrapped sheath, the wires inside get twisted and eventually break right off.

Cue the ever-useful cable tie! Wrap it around the shrink-wrap sheath both on the Magsafe side and the adaptor brick side and pull it real tight. Done.

    Quite probably explains why my charger has been a bit volatile recently. It sucks to wake up to a dead battery when you’ve reached the end of the month, desperately trying to use up the last of 60GB of broadband usage. Thanks for the fix.
