Are AC adapter tips repairable?
I have a few of the white square block & yo-yo ac adaptors, with crushed tips. Can you buy new cords and repair these, or are they junk?
Is this a good question?

If they are totally crushed, they probably aren't worth trying to repair, especially considering you can get replacement 3rd party AC adapters that work really well for $15/ea on eBay.

Thanks, folks....what I had originally hoped for was a source for buying a cord with a tip on, then opening the yo-yo or the white cube, and connecting the cord, closing the adapter and voila! But, with all considered, and though I may try a tip repair with an audio jack, it seems certain that buying from eBay is the most time/cost effective...though this also seems most wasteful.
btw, I also found this... http://repair4laptop.org/contrib/apple_i... ...& it has me thinking if I could set up to do 3 or 4 @ one time, perhaps cost effectiveness would come back into line...(mind you, w/- Parkinsons, everything takes longer!)
Cheers!
