amrit9037: Here where I live it cost 2$ to replace the wire.
You just have to pay a visit to nearest repair shop. It takes 15-20 mins.
They usually have many spare damaged chargers.
They will replace the non working part with working one.
After that it will work fine. Just as new.
In the states nearly everything is considered "field replaceable" so no one actually stocks parts or keeps broken items. Our market is so saturated with electronics that keeping a supply of even 1 item type (chargers) would fill a warehouse. Company here are very good at making things not universal. I could see finding a new tip that matches then splicing in the new wires for a fix but no shops like that really exist except in the largest of our cities.

Its a damn shame, little fix it shops are forced out of business by bigger stores.
