Most chargers and charging bases are solvent welded together. They
can usually be cracked open with brute force. Place a masons chisel
along the glue line, and beat on it with a hammer. The glue line
should crack as the plastic bends. If not, just use a hack saw to saw
along the glue line. Do the repair, and then glue the case back
together.


Overnight in a freezer helps. It makes the plastic brittle. If you have a deep
freezer (0F or colder) use it instead of a refigerator freezer (around 10F).

It's amazing how many people have no clue what the word "contiguous" means. :-(
