Repairing Universal Laptop Adapter

I have a laptop universal adapter, I like it because can be used for all my laptops, although my laptops have different brand.

Last week it couldn't be used, no electrical output, the lamp indicator was die.

Before I decided to buy the new one. I tried to open the cover, and check what is the cause of the problem.
Finally I noted, the problem was caused by a cracked tin. It may happen for hot circuit or high current/voltage.

I took the soldering iron and the tin to repair it.
Now it is back to normal.


Bellow are the steps what I did :

• Unplug/disconnect the electric input
