bad luck with power adapter

[Justin R. Miller]

Hi Titanium users,

I'm wondering if others tend to have generally bad luck with the Ti's 
power adapter.  I've got a 667 DVI and I use the little "white box" 
power plug directly (i.e. without the longer cord) most of the time.  I 
realize that these things are kind of frail and I take great care when 
winding the power cable every day.

I had my original one fail after a few months, and I had it replaced 
with the current one, which has been fine for about 8-9 months.  Now in 
the past couple weeks it occasionally stops working, so that the little 
ring at the computer end does not glow and the battery starts ticking 
down.

I also notice that occasionally when I plug it in, it sparks very 
slightly between the prongs and the outlet.  This is on a standard 
North American plug.

I have the two-prong adapter, not the newer, grounded one.

Anyone else see this a lot?  Or have suggestions?  Thanks for any leads.
