Aesthetics here means I want to keep it as Appleque as far as I can, even after a good working repair.
Unlike other tinkerers, I’m not in favour of using superglue (cyanoacrylate, err) to glue the two halves together. Instead, I’ll be using a roll of white vinyl electrical tape, easily found in most hardware stores.
Step 1
Inspect the replacement charging cable stopper attached to the ac adapter. Make sure its seated properly between the two halves. Then take care to press the two halves of the ac adapter together to ensure a tight fit.
Step 2
Wrap white electrical tape around the ac adapter as many times as required.
Job done!
