[QUOTE="johnnyFIVE, post: 959581, member: 135156"] hmmm... something else may be wrong other than the battery. Do you have access to another adapter? I cant imagine the port on the computer could go bad since its a magnet so I couldn't imagine any solder points breaking like with PC laptops. I would venture to guess that maybe the end of the cable is damaged from flexing a lot and it doesn't form a solid connection, anything change if you wiggle the end attached to the laptop? any patterns in connection/disconnection? Do any parts of the cable, primarily the ends somewhere look physically worn? I dont think that the mAh are low enough to be too serious. If you dont have access to another adapter I would just go to a starbucks or something and ask someone if you can use their adapter for a minute, and offer to do it right in front of them. funny we both posted the same concern at pretty much the same time. :D [/QUOTE]
