Yep, one authorized service provider wants $50 just to take a look --
though it'll be applied to any fixing that might need to be done.


Well it's the sort of thing that's certainly repairable, so I wouldn't worry
about the diagnostic fee.

I just used a voltage meter on the adapter, and sure enough, it
doesn't register a current! Hopefully, that's the full extent of my
problem...thanks again for the advice.

Assuming you used the meter correctly then yes, in your case the first thing
to do is get a new adapter.
