Anyone else have problems with the power supply? The plastic wire covering that comes out of the power supply (the side of the brick that leads to the computer - not the electrical outlet) has slowly but surely slid away from the brick, exposing wire. The power supply was still functional but died soon after. If I plug the supply into an outlet, i now hear this crackling sound...like the sound sparks make. I know that's bad...
So I have to send in my 8790 to Warrantech to repair some memory so I mentioned this issue to them. They say that if wire is exposed, it won't be covered. So now I have to buy a $100 power supply because Sager's is a piece of crap? I guess this happened over time from winding the chords around the brick to throw in my carrying case, but how can this be my fault? Is there a way to carry around a power supply that I don't know of? I'm hoping someone can enlighten me, and help me figure out how to get this power supply replaced without having to pay for it.
Thanks,
Chip
ps. I know 2 other people with the 8790 and they both have power supplies wrapped in electrical and masking tape. Pretty funny.
