I don't know if I can get an estimation of the number of broken chargers.
I'll try and get it. I can certainly tell you as a fact that over 70% of the
broken chargers suffer from this problem.
The plug outlet is also a problem, but is not as big, and it seems that the
problem has more to do with

Ismael,
Please provide percentages, not adjectives like BIG.
Uruguay has reported problems with the adapters in the past,

Hello everyone! Here at Uruguay broken laptop chargers is also a BIG
problem, and I would dare say (personal opinion, not fact data) that over
95% of those chargers have broken cables, and from those over 80% break at
the connection between the cable and DC barrel plug. Actually, it's the

Hi,
What seems to be a lesser-common problem in the other deployments I
have seen seems to be quite common here: chargers are breaking due to
damage to the cable and the point where the cable enters the big green
plug that goes into the power socket.
Although these problems seem to be due to

I agree with Richard, something has to fail, and the cable should be the
thing to fail

But my original reading of what you said suggests the failures are at
the AC end of the cable ... the power supply housing is a big green
plug and it goes into the wall power socket.
Which is it?
I'll add that we have one other report from Nepal
