[Ti] bad luck with power adapter

[Kynan Shook]

Hmmm, in that case, perhaps you should make sure the DC-In port on your 
computer is OK.  With the power adapter plugged in and working, try 
applying a little bit of pressure in various directions (up, down, 
left, or right, without moving the plug in or out) and see if the light 
ever goes off.  If it does, the DC-In board might need to be replaced.  
If it doesn't, then presumably it's the power adapter.
