Hey all

My 1400cs just bit the dust.  I think it might be the ac adapter, but I wanted to get 
some second opinions.  It won't do anything when I push the power button.  It clicks 
when I push the reset button, and clicks again when I release it.  Every third time or 
so that I push the reset button, it chimes like it's going to start, but then goes 
dead again when I release the button.  Every time I push the reset button, the screen 
flashes.  It does this whether the ac adapter is plugged in or not.  The book is 
completely dead plugged in but with the battery out.  Just before it died I noticed it 
was running on the battery even though it was plugged in, which is what makes me think 
it's the adapter, and the battery has just run down and doesn't have the juice to 
start the computer.  Think that's what it is?  Or is there something else I'm not 
considering?  I've tried wiggling all the plugs looking for a short but everything is 
solid.  I can feel something moving inside the adapter when I shake it gently.  Thanks 
for any insight in advance.

Cheers,
Andy
