This helped me fix an adapter with one prong pushed in!! Thank you now I don’t need to buy a new hairdryer!! 😊

Thank you so much for posting this! I had the same problem and this helped immensely!

Nice presentation. Thank you for taking the time to show how to do this!

4:10… I noticed when you plugged it back in it sparked. It should not do that.

my charging brick’s prong fell out, i didn’t see a wire so i just shoved it back in a few times, low and behold, it worked

Good job dude, thanks for a short and to the point video. To others trying this out on your own: Certain power adapters can be quite dangerous once you open them up since you can get a 400V shock if you put your meaty parts on the wrong side of the circuit, it's relatively low energy but still dangerous and very painful (took a 200V shock once, do not recommend). This is specially true for 'el cheapo' adapters with generic labeling (like the one on the video). Let's just say that manufacturers skip certain components which are not absolutely necessary in order to save money and time at the cost of a more dangerous circuit. Brand names usually avoid these practices but don't risk your health wantonly. One possible but not recommended way to avoid this is leaving the device unplugged for a REALLY long time, this allows the stored charge to fade and makes the device safer (safer, not safe) to handle. If you really wanna do it right, look for bigclive's videos on discharging capacitors.

Nice I tried that with this light lamp fixture thing, but I guess I got to pry the whole adapter open. I didn’t know you could open it up that way because I didn’t find any screws or anything but I’ll try it that way. Thanks for searching deeper.👍

Thank you it really worked but I took no chances turned off the bathroom electric box and wore 3 rubber gloves just in case 👍💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you didnt find the missing part then what would you do for a replacement

Going to attempt removing the broken prong from my iPhone charger from the outlet. Can I just switch off the power from the room from the breaker or do I have to switch off the whole main breaker? I’m going to use rubber gloves and my plier with rubber handles

Thanks

This is a slightly unrelated question but I broke off phone charger prongs and they’re stuck into my outlet in my room. The thing is, I did this 4 years ago and like a idiot I’ve ignored it. I plan on having a electrician come look at it sometime next month but now I’m paranoid a fire will start. I know it’s been fine this long but I just wanted to know how likely a fire would start and if people have commonly left prongs in their outlets before with no fires. I need to ease my mind because this is worrying me

My ac adapter for my Roku broke the same exact way.

Thank you for the help but my fan's prong got stucked in the outlet and i got it out and when it went out is it safe to put it back inside the plug 🔌 of the fan?

Did you shut power off? My neighbor has a prong stuck in the polorizing side. I’m wondering if I can pull it out without shutting power off? There’s plenty to grab onto. Thanks

What can i do if i dont have like the gun that makes it in place
