[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 138585, member: 9169"] If you bought this new, I would call Apple Support right away and explain the situation. 1-800-275-2273. You could also reset the PRAM and/or PMU, discussed in the "Instant Fixes" thread at the top of this forum. Now, this may seem like a reaallly stupid suggestion, but I've known two cases where this situation was in place, so just humor me for a second: Are you sure the outlet you plugged the adapter into isn't a switched outlet? A friend of mine was convinced that her iBook was going south (just days after the warranty expired) because the battery wouldn't seem to charge. She had her adapter plugged into a wall outlet, and just for grins I turned off the light switch and lo and behold, the adapter turned off. The only reason I knew to look for this was because the same thing happened to me just a couple weeks earlier. *slaps forehead* Good luck! [/QUOTE]
