    So this is a weird problem. I just noticed that the power light on the power adapter cord for my SXPS16 stopped lighting up (the blue light) but it appears to still be powering the laptop. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I don't think it's a case of "turning it off", more likely having a faulty solder connection.
