[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1497311, member: 56379"] I would also add...STOP doing what you mentioned and I quoted above! Unplugging the computers charger every time you are away from it is a REALLY good way to increase the potential for damage to the charger. Simply for the reason that the charger is being touched. Every time the charger is touched...the potential for damage is present...because no one is perfect. If the charger is unplugging improperly just one time...BAMM...the potential for a dead or broken charger is there. Do you unplug these items everytime you're away from them??: - microwaves - televisions - electric clocks - toasters - can opener - table lamps - phones - etc. etc. You don't need to unplug the computer either! If your computer goes nowhere...keep the computer plugged in...and keep your hands off the charger! All this unplugging & plugging in of your computer is just what I said previously..."end-user abuse". It may not seem like "abuse"...but it seems that something you're doing when unplugging & plugging in your charger is not good for the charger. Given your history with these chargers...the chargers will last longer this way!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
