I have opened one to find out that it wasn't broken.

No fuse.
The three adaptors I've repaired so far had all broken cables. 2 were broken
just at the exit of the cable from the Newton plug and one had the broken
cable just where the cable came out of the adaptor case. Cut the broken
piece of wire away and resolder. The Newton plug case can be cut at one side
and easily removed for resoldering the wires (don't swap the polarity!) and
afterwards glued in place, using silicon rubber for bathroom seals. Before
you open the adaptor case make shure that you have to. That is done with
measuring the output voltage while moving the cable and trying to find the
interruption.
