Macbook Air Power Adaptor Repair

Disappointing that the basic good design of the Apple Macbook Air is let down by poor quality of the the power lead.  Not just me but others have had the same problem.

The rubber on the outside of the wire is pretty poor.  It started to fray a long time ago and also there are a couple of places alomg the lead that are cracked.  Eventually the outer brad wore away.

Opened the case (look on youtube as others have posted handy video  on how to do that) and cut off the dodgy segment and re-soldered it.
