iBook power adapter--replace cable

I know I can buy a whole new adapter, but it seems wasteful; there's nothing wrong with the transformer, the cable got broken.

If I disassemble the transformer case, will it ever go back together again? Are there any tricks beyond just prying it with a screwdriver? Can I buy a replacement cable with the correct plug?

Thanks for any help.

Is this a white iBook? Where exactly did the wire break?
