Has anyone used magsafe to usb-c adapters?

Question

macbook

The magsafe 2 cable on the macbook completely frayed, before buying from scratch I decided to google how to solve it cheaper.
So far, the options are:
1. buy the entire block, original or duplicate ..
2. Replace only the cable:

the nuances that the power supply itself is problematic to disassemble and assemble back
3. Take an adapter to usb-c

at home, the number of devices with usb-c is growing, and so there will just be one more unit for 45W by the
way, how is the question of the fact that you are using the wrong power supply being solved? those. put the phone to charge from the laptop?

Answer 1

Change the cable and that's it. You can’t disassemble the unit yourself - take it to the service, replacing the cable in the service is much cheaper than the PSU. A USB-C PSU that is enough to charge a MacBook costs about the same as the original magsafe 2
UPD. Correction, I myself encountered this problem after I wrote this comment. About a year ago I changed the cable myself, it lasted less than a year and stopped working (although outwardly there are no signs of a fracture). I decided to take it to the service so that they could disassemble it and check the cable for operability (the PSU itself suddenly died) - the service turned out to be $ 20 with the replacement of the cable with a new one. I decided to refuse because I bought the original PSU for $ 25 from the hucksters who carry it from Ebay.
Therefore, the fuss with replacing the cable makes sense only if you do it yourself, as for me it is not advisable to change the cable in the service for $ 20 due to the short service life of the Chinese wires.

Answer 2

I recently re-soldered the cable due to the fact that the native became unusable (a fountain of feces towards Apple).
in principle, nothing complicated, if you know how to hold a soldering iron in your hands and have a suction. Lots of videos on youtube.
The only trick is that you need to have two pieces of non-electrifying plastic or leather to wrap the PSU insides taken out of the case and screens, because it’s not so easy to crawl up to a large capacitor to discharge it, and it, bitch, beats if it’s unsuccessful to take charge.
