Of all the If it's the same thing as the 750's connector, there's an RF choke inside the thing. Mine broke in half and you could slide the choke up and down the cord. I didn't bother getting it fixed until the cable started to fray near the connector because of the 90 degree turn it usually made there. IBM replaced it by shipping me a new AC adapter overnight so I never really considered it a problem. (That's why the AC adapter is new, Howard. :) Your cord acts like an antenna and picks up RF signals. The RF choke filters much of this out. Just how useful this is open to question. -- John H.
