Harold, are you sure the AC outlet the adapter was plugged into has not become defective? Sometimes over long periods the contacts inside lose their springiness. (Your diagnosis of a dead AC adapter is probably right but it's always good to check the easy stuff first.)

I usually take it with me when my wife and I take a vacation at our condo. I noticed this morning that its little "I'm asleep, but alive" blinking light was not blinking. I traced the problem to the AC power adapter - no DC at the output. It should be 24 VDC. By now the internal battery in the laptop has lost its charge.I can get an adapter replacement for $75 from the university computing center, but that seems a lot to pay since the laptop itself is probably not worth much more than that. I wondered if anyone on the list had a failed and discarded laptop but still has the adapter sitting around and would like to get rid of it. I know I can probably find one on Ebay, but even that seems too much to pay.
