One of the metal wall outlet prongs to my 12v LED strip power supply just fell out of the wall wart completely, kind of like pic related. As if the chink who glued it in there didn't press it in hard enough or something.

Is there an easy way to securely attach it back in there without either: 1. fear of it falling out again, or 2. losing conductivity due to using an insulator to keep it back in, like superglue?

I'd just get a new 12v power supply, they're really cheap and ubiquitous.

Its not worth shorting out your mains

I could but this is more out of interest, I'm an EE.

Is there some kind of superglue equivalent of electrical tape?
>>
Don't bother, just throw the thing away. Not worth saving.

As for the metal piece that is stuck in the wall cut the power at the breaker and test the outlet to make sure it's off then use needle nosed pliers to pull it out.

I imagine that if there was a conductive superglue, it would be used in place of solder but that's not the case. So either it's not strong enough, not conductive enough, has some kind of degradation issues, or is just too expensive. There are conductive glues but I've never seen them used for this specific application.

And you can't figure out how to fix your 12V power supply? What the fuck?
>>
>>59292474
There is a liquid electrical tape, but epoxy is non-conductive and stronger.

Dude I'm not an electrical engineer and I could fix the fuckin thing.

Well honestly I probably will but I'm just incredibly lazy and want to use what I have on hand.

I'm not sure how to securely adhere a metal dildo into a cheap chinese plastic transformer shitbox while still retaining conductivity. Got a suggestion? I'd love to hear it :)
