One of the wires broke inside of the magsafe. So with some pliers I opened it up, then cut the broken part, strip the tip to expose the connection, reconnected it (tested it and put some electric tape around it to be sure), and assembled it back together with tiny amounts of hot glue on the edges. I wish they designed things so they can be taken apart easier. I'm not sure if this is really "fixing the charger" but some people decided to solder off the tips connection to the board, cutting the bad part, and soldering it back (I didn't want to do that much work).
I think for most users, they shouldn't have to worry about it, but I feel like there should be the ability in the hardware/software for users to have the ability to maintain/mod their own systems if they please.
