Is this reparable with a soldering iron?

This is the base of my laptops charger. The actual bit that connects the male end to the power cord.

I've never done any kind of repair before myself so I'm not a good judge of what should be done.

Would I be able to fix this with a soldering iron? Do I need additional material?

Probably buy a new plug, cut back the wire to get rid of anything damaged. Solder on new plug.
Hardest part is finding a spare matching plug, some laptop supplies have 3 pins in there so the computer can 'talk' to the charger, if so you need one to match.
A multimeter might be useful to check which wire goes where on the old plug once you cut it off, and to check it works before you fry your laptop with out

thats the end that goes in the wall? cut it off and screw new one on
>>
if that's a mains plug that's removable then try to find a replacement cord but if it's hardwired you can desolder another grounded cord from something and solder it into your charger
just make sure that there isn't an opportunity for it to arc inside of the charger

this
& definitely check with a multi meter to make sure which one goes where, mostly important for the ground

>>1157106
take a pic of the actual plug too what kind is it?
>>
>>1157106

just wrap it in electrical tape, tightly. then a layer of duct tape, or not. I'd just use electrical tape

not surprising
this is why so much electrical stuff is fucking garbage
>>
Get a new plug and rewire. Middle is ground, conductor with lines molded in the insulator is N.

Where are you an electrician? Africa?

How would you check with a mulimeter? Where do the prongs go?
>>
>>1157236
turn multimeter to sound or resistance where it beeps if it connects the two red & black ones

touch the ground output with either end of multimeter

touch each of the 3 wires that are breaking, see which one connects to it mark that wire as green or whatever

repeat for the other two
mark them as black & white

then you know which one is which

I currently have some epoxy so if I were to go about it I would make a tape rim and just fill it in with epoxy. Make it a little girthy so that section holds rigid

Cut off the wire before the damaged section, go to the hardware store and buy a new plug for less than $5, pic related. No soldering required, just a screwdriver and something to strip the wires (a knife will do)
