    Has anyone had issues with thier G73 chargers? The one that came with my laptop crapped out so I RMA'ed it and the replacement is having the same issue.

    Basically, they appear to work for a couple weeks, then as you plug/unplug it and move about using it, something inside the actual plug piece must be going bad.

    Once this happens, the charger only works if it's the plug is rotated around until a connection is made, even then if you move it the slightest bit, connection loses and it fails.

    Now, I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue that has had it happen twice. I just want to see what others have seen.

    Thanks!

    Mine broke like a month after I bought my G73. I bought a Targus APA05US for 30 bucks and it's been working damn near perfect for over 3 months.
