My HP laptop was only 3 months old and its AC adapter cord began to show insulation also. I ended up resheathing it with shrink-wrap insulation for a while. but eventually had to replace it. Gee, why did it "fail" within 3 months? And why did I not get it replaced under warranty? Well, last July we picked up another Siberian Husky puppy (mail, two blue eyes, black & white). He discovered the AC adapter cord one afternoon, and decided it looked like a tasty treat, or a really cool toy to play with! Luckily (or not luckily <g>) it was the DC cable he chewed on. Otherwise he would have likely been in Puppy Heaven that very day!
