Hello guys
For an old MacBook Pro bought in 2012 as:
The cable of the `MagSafe` since years ago changed the color to "yellow" and many parts of the cable itself become _cracked_, it about a 98%. The partial "solution" is put a _masking tape_ (the one made with a special paper - not plastic - with color white/cream) for each cracked part. It works since 5/6/7 yrs ago and so far ...
I have other laptops and well it only happens for the MacBook Pro. Of course this cable/wire is thinner than others products (HP, ASUS, etc).
NOTE
Here the voltage in my country is 220v
Because nothing is eternal, I want have as backup other MagSafe. I did do a research at:
That matches with:
> 60W MagSafe Power Adapter with "L" style connector
>
> 13-inch MacBook Pro models introduced in 2010 through 2012
