    When i put my ear almost directly onto the power adapter block, i can hear an electrical pulsing noise. It is extremely quiet (you can only hear it from less than 1 inch away). Is this normal for an ac adapter?

    Thanks

    You might want to get it replaced, especially if it starts to get louder.
