Have a Battery Technology, Inc. AC Adapter for an IBM Laptop
IB-PS365, 55W 16V 3.4A

The thing has gone intermittent. By slightly flexing the case, comes
back on, so idea is to disassemble, solder traces and be up and
running instantly.

but...how to disassemble?

Anybody done that?


You could try dropping on a hard floor, or using a hammer, pound on the
corners abit all around wallwart where the seam is.
I know this sounds crude, but often it works. Another way is to use a
dremel mototool with a cutoff disk and cut along the seam all around the
wallwart.

good luck,
