Ford Johnson Wrote:Barry - I've got a magsafe that has frayed away from the power brick. When I replace it I'd like to cut off the magsage connector and attach it to a 12 dc power source.
I've done just this 2 weeks ago
the braid frayed through the magsafe end of the psu just where it comes out of the block, so bought a new psu for the mac
bought one of those universal 12v in car 80w laptop power adaptors from ebay cost £6
joined the chopped magsafe cable to the cheapo 12v psu, set the voltage switch and plugged it in
works fine
