Q: He has made a couple of really small slits in the black plastic on the wire, all in the same place, but on both sides. I can see silver through it, but no other colours. I have unplugged it from the laptop and the mains, as I assume I shouldn't use it. However, it is the bit attached to the big square thing (sorry, I don't know what it is called), does that have a charge, so should I do something special with the wire? Also, is there any way to repair it, like electrical tape, or should I just go buy another cable this afternoon? I have a Sony Vaio in case that is important. (and before anyone says, "don't let your dog chew the wire", he usually leaves the wire alone, I left him for a couple of seconds and when I came back he was chewing something next to the wire, so I guess he missed! I've learnt my lesson and I won't be leaving him in the vicinity of the laptop on his own ever again!)
A: I have a house rabbit who does the same given the chance! In fact I now need a new phone cable. Get some electrical tape,and wrap it round while it's off. If the wire inside isnt damaged, it should be fine.
