Hey,

So I'm having an issue with my laptop. It is a Samsung RF-510 and is a few years old but was bought new. The issue I'm having is with the power brick it would seem. When I plug it into the laptop everything works fine, it boots up, the battery starts to charge and what not but after 15-30 mins the green light on the charger dyes out and it switches from AC power to the battery. Not really sure what is causing this and it cuts out in random intervals, some times it may be 15 mins other times it may be an hour. The power brick isn't very hot either, it's warm but not hot to the touch. Any opinions or advice would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also forgot to mention that if I unplug the cable from the power brick that is leading to the wall plug and plug it back in the light comes back on and everything works again until it decides to cut out once more.
 
Solution
100% it's the block once you gave me that info.

1) If you have a warranty, get a replacement.
2) Amazon for the exactly one you need.
3) Tiger direct has them for about $40-$50

It all seems fine when I wiggle it, no signs of it cutting in and out at all. It just randomly cuts out and goes to battery power until I unplug/replug it.
