Well, the new adapter arrived today and the same issue exists.

The battery is original (bought in November/December of last year), and performs well.

They're going to send me a new computer. I'm hoping for an upgrade, but I have to backup everything on the HDD. They may redeem themselves if I get an upgrade.

I have no idea what this could be, and they don't either -- so it's probably going to get the re-furb or parted-out.

We'll see.

Thanks for the insight...
