Buzzing AC adapter

2005-11-30 Thread Debra Platt
What does it mean when your AC adapter (round disc type) starts to buzz loud enough to be annoying? Is it toast? Thanks. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon PowerShot Digital Cameras start
