When we last saw our hero, he'd just fought tooth and nail to remove the hard outer shell of his MagSafe™ charger. His next trial would be to peel back the protective shielding that surrounds the electronic core of the transformer.

Success! After pulling back the shielding, I desoldered the two wires that connected the power and ground the to the laptop side of the transformer.

| looks complicated |
Desoldering stuff sucks, it seems like it takes me forever, it's possible that I just suck at it and I have gotten a little better since working on this project but it's seriously, brutally, horrendously tedious.

| Pretty cleanly desoldered in my amateurish opinion =) |
After I soldered on the new power cord, which I took a picture of but can't seem to access on this slow Wisconsin internet, I tested the power cable to make sure everything worked before putting together the jigsaw-puzzle of a casing that Apple decided to super glue around their charging cables.
