I got another A/C adapter but the lady said the issue could be the laptop itself. Something about the current being being too strong, causing power to feed back into the adapter and burning it up. I don't get it, but I trust her. She said I ought to get a new laptop sooner rather than waiting until Christmas because there's no guarantee this adapter will last either.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your uncle, Em. *hug*
Thank you. *receives and reciprocates hug*

He was technically my great uncle, but I count that as an uncle.
