Picked up the replacement earlier this week and just tested it now. Everything works well! :) I tried the AC in a power bar and the cigarette lighter adapter in one of those batteries people use now to start cars instead of a boost from another car.
Two differences I noted from the old one. First the adapter from Empower to cigarette lighter has a different FRU (03X6252 2011.01 vs. 41R4542 2009.12). Second the "hub" (splits to two connectors) was circular and is now wedge shaped. Thanks everyone for the advice, and thanks Lenovo for the great service. -- Andrew mailto:aweb...@wwwebbers.com Sunday, May 29, 2011, 2:29:08 PM, i wrote: > Last summer, I bought a refurb "Lenovo 90W Ultraslim AC/DC Combo > Adapter - US/Canada (41R4493)" shipped to a US address where I was > staying. > It's worked fine thought I'm a little disappointed with the overall > size (I had visions of its ultraslimness letting me just tuck it into > a corner of my case, but with all the cables and adapters it ends up > pretty bulky; oh well it was a really good price for a second > adapter). > However I only used it with the 120V connector.
