New adapter hard to plug in
I hate to even post another comment on the adapter exchange program, but my newly-replaced adapter's plug is extremely tight in the power jack and I'm worried it will damage the jack's mount. Anyone else have similar concerns/experiences? If it does break off the mounting for the jack, would Apple repair it out of warranty because it's due to the new adapter? - Jeff Lentz __ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm awaiting my new one, but I do have a spare yoyo adapter I've used with both the Wallstreet the Lombard for about 9 months. They're somewhat tight when new (like most things, like coffee plungers), but wear in pretty quickly. It's no tighter or looser than the standard black adapter (we should christen the black baby adapter sometime - 'Son of Delta'; 'Idiot from Quanta Who Subcontracted Delta' or something?).

Judging from experience with my 5300's jack mount comming lose, I'm definately very worried.

Anyone else have similar concerns/experiences? If it does break off the mounting for the jack, would Apple repair it out of warranty because it's due to the new adapter? Mine was far too tight in my Wallstreet and since I recall a much earlier post from someone who damaged the AC port on his Wallstreet after 2 weeks of using a yo-yo adapter (prior to the recall) I decided to loosen up mine. I rather barbaricly spread out the shield on the plug using a flat blade screwdriver. I slowly worked the screwdriver around the perimeter of the shield prying it outward. This resulted in a tiny gap at the seam of the shield which loosened it up enough to relieve the tightness. I was careful not to apply any significant pressure (while prying) to the jack in the center as I didn't want to break it. I repeated this until it was loosened up enough. It's still tighter than my original black AC but I feel more comfortable with it. Now it fits quite nicely. I don't think it would have loosened up enough over time. I figured it would be less costly to break the adapter than end up needing to replace the power board in my Wallstreet. disclaimer Do this at your own risk of course. end disclaimer -makmac -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
