HP-35 Charger Cord Message #1 Posted by Albert L. Johnson on 6 Mar 2002, 2:42 p.m. The molded 3-prong plug and the end of my HP-35 charger has some broken wires just before the cable enters into the molded plug. Does anyone know if the plug can be repaired or not?

Re: HP-35 Charger Cord Message #2 Posted by Erik Wahlin on 6 Mar 2002, 7:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Albert L. Johnson One method of fixing this problem is to carefully slice the top of the plug (along ridge line, just on top of the wires) off with a razor blade (be careful!). Next, you have to cut away (bore out) the plastic material to where the wires attach to the sockets. I usually cut out a small square region. Next resolder the broken wires and epoxy or tape the plastic top back on. If you do a good job, you can't easily tell that it was repaired.
