Failing AC adapter

Options

‎11-15-2011 12:14 AM

I bought 2 AC adapters with my T410i 9 months ago, and the 57y4616 is progressively and intermittently failing. The meter reads 20V, primary side~300kohms, secondary 5 ohms. The other charger works fine, with a much higher primary. Any ideas about how to proceed?

Have it replaced under warranty. I seem to go through 1 AC adapter per year.

I'm poleaxed with admiration and delight. I got home from work to find a UPS next day air package on my frontporch, with the new charger nestled inside. Exactly which thing I did to achieve this happy outcome is a bit of a mystery, but kudos to the system are in order. Thanks for your advice.
