BTW, I agree with the guy who said, cleanest diy video out there. Lighting, camera stability and quality, speed, length, detail, fast fwd, narrative best I've seen on any subject. Do one on doing effective instructional videos!

That pencil Idea was great. Will be making a Dc 2.1 mm barrel jack connector.

Thanks for nice method to make permanent plug. For quick testing (for repairing a laptop for example), you can make a temporary plug using snips of tin can bent into an arc (dosn't need to be full circle, just an arc to make contact) and a straightened paper clip or piece of bare copper wire. Fit the pieces in the laptop power jack and then put some hot glue in between, and you can power the laptop using any appropriate DC power brick

Good idea, to bad it want work. Positive isn’t the middle pin, but outer layer of the inner ring. Basically, you are shorting positive and negative of charger port
