EcoGlow chick brooder power cord repair
Our Brinsea
EcoGlow chick brooder we
love so much stopped working.
The power cord broke at the
little nub. Some careful plastic surgery freed the nub enough to reach
the wires on the other side.
Splicing the wire and
deleting the nub brought it back to life. The wires aren't color coded,
so you have to figure out the polarity by trial and error. A dab of
silicone is all it took to seal up the hole.

A tip for next time
On cords like that, one side of the cord will have a groove (or sometimes fine writing)in the plastic running the length of the cord. The wire on that side is the neutral and goes to the wide blade on the new plug.
