The Easiest Way To Disassemble Laptop AC Power Adapters And Wall Warts

Рет қаралды 165,056

Күн бұрын

Hello, in this DIY video i'm going to show you how to easily disassemble a laptop power supply or a wall wart without damaging the case, and to do this you need something that can dissolve the glue like gasoline-petrol, i use my flux-off spray which dissolves fluxes but it can also dissolve the glue on the case, i spray a small amount and after a few minutes i can open the case very easy, this way i do not damage the case and i can glue it back together later after repairing the power supply.

+Nik Telio - I don't believe so. The glues that I've seen on these things appears to be some sort of solvent cement, which bonds as much by dissolving the plastic mating surfaces into each other as it does by its own dried substance.

@PracticaProphetica 2 жыл бұрын

@@Inflec That sounds a bit like model cement. "Tube Glue or Model Cement is a gel-like substance that contains a chemical, such as Toluene, that when applied to the joining surfaces of a plastic model forms a membrane that bonds the two surfaces together."

@Inflec 2 жыл бұрын

@@PracticaProphetica - That is certainly very similar. But I think what is used to seal up a wall wart is something much closer to the sort of cement that plumbers use to join PVC pipe. It works the way I described in my previous post. The solvent component of the cement dissolves the top layer of plastic on both mating surfaces, causing the two pieces of plastic to literally weld themselves together. The bulk component that dries solid adds strength to the bond.

@@markanne54 sand the surface rough before applying cynoacrolate

@Inflec 5 жыл бұрын

+markanne54 - Superglue is iffy with this sort of repair because the parts are rough and usually don't fit together smoothly which allows this type of glue to develop its strongest bond. If I have to open one of these things I generally just put it back together with some stiff tape that doesn't shrink, since there's a good chance it will have to come apart again at some point in the future.
