    i have a gateway t series laptop an am having power problems with it..when i plug in the adter to the outlet in the wall the lil green light stays on like it usually would do..but here is my problem kwhen i plug it into the laptop i notice the light on the adapter starts blinking an i smell like somthing it starting to burn in the laptop from the area where the charger is connected to...i was wondering if there is something wrong with the adapter where as its not breaking the voltage down to the recommended voltage needed for the laptop an it sending to much or there is a problem on the board
