Worked on a friend’s AC power adapter, the cord had gotten cut. Just a simple two-wire cord, nothing too complicated.

Didn’t do a perfect job with the heat shrink tubing, but still made good connections and it’ll be safe to use.

Wish I had upgraded my soldering iron sooner. The old one didn’t heat nearly as evenly as this one.

    I am terrible with soldering I think. All I really do (at least so far) is attempt to solder hotswap sockets onto keyboard PCBs. I have like a 50% success rate. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where the solder is supposed to go, and where I am supposed to place the soldering iron tip.

    What kind did you get? I keep an aoyue on my desk, but one of those usb models would be nice sometimes.

    At least you rememberd the heatshrink. I can’t count how many times I forgot to put it on and had to redo everything.
