Now that I take a closer look at it, it does look like it might be
possible to open it (it appears to be hollow, unlike the C64 supplies
which are solid blocks). No screws that I can find, looks like there's
a bottom plate that's glued to the rest of the case. I might try
carefully prying it open, hopefully it won't crack in the process...

Some of them were able to be opened, there were hidden screws in the bottom
of some, there were also some that were 2 piece plastic heat-fused? Or
glued together.
Here, I'll start: Anyone know if the original
TRS-80 Model I power brick
suffers from the same failure modes as those old C64/VIC-20 power
bricks? Any repair options? I've got an old one that seems to be working
OK for now, just wondering if it'll stay that way...
Are they openable? I don't have one in front of me, and I don't
think I've ever looked.
