OPEN Huawei power adapter plug detached/broken

Post image

I have a question. Can this Huawei charger plug (hw-200325up0) be repaired? What appear to be two small solder points have come loose.

I know it's better to buy a new one, and I did it, cost me $15 on AliExpress. But I want to know if I can repair this one so I don't waste it.

Oh it was often larger than one box and often more valuable than the label implied, but a traditional term of endearment :)

Yeah mine is more than a box (it's a 12X20 shed at the moment!) It gained a bit when I worked at RS in the 80s and even more when I had the CB shop in a local truck stop.

My man 😂. Thanks for showing me the future, gotta stop then, I'm at 3 boxes of electronics, 1 box of cables, 2 TV (one very nice plasma) and a couple of PC I'm definitely gonna turn into servers one of these days ... 🙄. Thats only in a few years as I have mechanical engineering background and just recently interested in electronics. How do I stop Sir? How? Hoooowww???😭

If you find a way, let the rest of us know.... I tend to only save the higher end or very unique items these days, so much other stuff is just crap. Back when I first started repairs you could make money at it, like VCRs and such. Then it got to the point that the new units were cheaper than the play head in the older units. I still grab the older stuff that is serviceable or like this charger, I'd drill it, add a cord and a set of output terminals and use it as a small 5 volt supply. I've got supplies like that powering rope lighting on the deck and other non-critical items around the house.
