    Hello all,

    Just a bit of a noob alert to everybody, this IS my first laptop...
    I've had my SZ220P for a year and a half now and havent experienced any significant problems until recently, when 2 weeks ago my AC adapter just wouldn't work.

    Once plugged into a wall socket, the light in the 'block' refused to show...However, since my laptop was still working with what battery there was left, I decided to get a new 3rd party one on eBayto save a bit of cash. I have absolutely no idea what caused the old one to suddenly stop working.

    So a week goes by without problems with my new adapter... until just 10 minutes ago, when my new one seems to have died on me as well (It seems to be the same problem). On top of that, according to my computer, I've been running on 0% Battery power for the last fifteen minutes :confused:

    Could my laptop be an AC adapter killer?! I'm totally at a loss...
    If anybody has heard of similar cases or and suggestions on what I should do...anything would be greatly appreciated!!

    Thanks for your time everyone.
