[Obi Wan's Ghost]

I need emergency help. I'm far from home and any Apple Store and my power cable has a small crack in the cable near where it meets the power adapter. It's making it near impossible to keep a current to charge my PowerBook.

I need to know how to open up the power adapter so I can remove the cable, pair it down and reassemble it. Without that I'm going to be without power very soon.

And no, the Force is not working

I'm pretty sure you can't. Pretty much all AC adapters these days are sealed such that opening them requires breaking the plastic.

don't risk a fire.

bite the bullet and buy a new one.

more than not risking a fire, don't risk the powerbook. it's not worth trying to fix it just to have your powerbook fried...
