How could I repair a broken cable on my laptop charger?
The cable is broken between the charger box and jack (into laptop) The cable is very similar to coaxial cable or shealded cable. I cut in to accidentally when moving my car seat, the charger happened to be under the seat and laying in the runner which cut the cable. Im hoping there is a connector available to join this type of cable available.
as far as I am aware the sheilding acts as a conductor i.e. the 2nd wire,
there seems to be only a single insulated wire in the centre.

Mine is starting to break, I have to jiggle it to get it to work. When it finally quits I will have to fix it. Get a sharp knife and trim back the cable covering and the sheathing an re-solder or tape them. I wouldn't worry about the shielding , just make sure no of the joints come in contact with it. You may get a hum or something, see if moving the cable to a different spot helps. Just found this video- same idea.
