My recent 1400cs acquisiton came with a yo-yo charger in somewhat poor condition. It has suffered from the cable being stressed too much at the base of the plug, a common fault with these, so it seems to provide power but only when the cable is pulled/wiggled a certain way.
Most posts online just suggest binning it and buying a new one, not so easy in 2023 and also not good for the environment... (I dread to think how many of these sit in landfill now)...
I already have a third party/new adapter to use with my 1400s and Pismos, but repairing this one would be interesting.
I read somewhere that they can be pried apart, but it sounds difficult. Ideally the whole cable would be replaced because this one has also yellowed badly.
Or, should I just attempt a repair on the barrel/end of the cable?
Any ideas? Has anyone attempted this before?
