The stress relief did save the connection where the wires were soldered into the circuit board inside.

** You may choose to de-solder the two wires from the circuit board, but this will reduce your cord length a bit. Also, there is not much room to maneuver an iron at the contact points. Individual mileage may vary.**

Snatch out that exacto with a sharp blade. Shave bits and chunks out to expose the wires underneath. Be careful to damage as little of the wiring as possible or you may have to end up soldering directly to the circuit board and there is not much room to maneuver in there.

Re-strip your wires for soldering back together. There is an inner coated wire and and outer uncoated wire, they are pretty obvious.

**Remember to save the important electro doo-dad.

Please, Please, be careful and try not to cut yourself. Don't let this charger beat you.
