Hey Community!

I need your help in disassembling the good old known power supply unit (PSU) “PCGA-AC16V6”. The fixed cable with the laptop-plug is broken exactly where it leaves the PSU - short-circuits included.
An electrician will try to fix it. For that I need to know how to disassemble it to put it together again.

Tried to find a related topic in this forum, no luck.

Any notes and hints are welcome!

That’s pretty funny, mine died as well. I am going to look into opening it up sometime this week. Until then I got a Belkin universal one.

I would imagine the instructions for dissassembling the power brick go something like…

1.  Pry open with knife.
2.  Reassemble with super glue.

Was not that hard. Use a knife or a tiny screwdriver to open it. I attached some photos:
Green coloured plastic noses and where the cable was soldered (black and white-writting).

Hope it’s enough info. My PSU is in a good optical condition and in a perfect technical condition now. So, go for it

The cable was broken, but no short-circuit at all. Too much power for the damaged cable, heat evolve from that. Kept the damaged part of the cable (actually stewed).

Mistakes in my written english? Gimme a note THX
