    I sent my G1S in for an RMA about a month ago and they sent me a new power cord unit along with my repaired laptop. The cord is already failing, with a fray at the female end of the wall-to-transformer patch cable. This fray is directly touching the plug, so splicing it to make a repair is not an option.

    I'm looking for ideas for how to replace this part. Can cables like this be found, or would I need to replace the entire power supply unit? If I do need a new unit, what should I look for? Buy an OEM product from an ASUS vendor, or get a generic?

    Thanks!!

    You should ask Asus for an exchange. They'll probably ask you to do a cross-ship.

    ok, cool. Thanks.

    Wasn't sure if that would be considered "normal wear and tear" or anything.
