Hi all,

I have a 15" aluminum, and the ac adapter keeps cuting out on me. It doesn't seem to have a real schedule, but if I unplug it and plug it back in, it works again.

I'm wondering if this might have to do with the battery, or if it's the ac adapter itself. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks.

The AC adaptor is shutting itself off to protect your machine. Either there's something wrong with your adaptor or your outlet. Have you tried other outlets? If the same thing happens in other outlets, it's probably time for a new adaptor. Better than a new computer, right?

Ah, good to know. It does it on other outlets, so it must be the adapter. Thanks for the tip.
