    Hi all,

    My company recently bought 10 M4400 and they work good so far...not laptop freezing etc....but both myself and another guy have had our power adapter die on us.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thanks.

    Mine just stop working...the blue LED part is still in tact but does not illuminate and the laptop does not charge when plugged in.

    That's a heck of problem...never hear of it much, easily fixed, but nevertheless a PITA. I'll keep an eye on mine as I just ordered.

    Not really what I wanted to hear afhstingray :(

    I thought you said the other day,that your new one [delta] was a tighter fit?

    Guess dell will have to change the MB,if thats so.

    Don't know whether to wait for it to get worse,or risk getting it fixed....its not inspiring me with confidence that its just going to go snap.

    I have the Flextronics, and I suspect that my co worker has the same.
