Dell Recalls Millions of AC Adaptors

matgyver writes "Both CNET and CNN are reporting that Dell is recalling 4.4 million AC adapters worldwide. About 990,000 of those were sold to US consumers, 1.5 million to US businesses, and the rest where outside the US. The adapters were sold with laptops between 1998 and 2002 and included Dell's Latitude, Inspiron, and Precision laptops. The part numbers for the adapters are 9364U, 7832D and 4983D. Apparently the adapters run the risk of overheating and can be a fire and electrocution risk."

    How is this a Troll? So I worked at Dell and you don't like my insite into how the company operates? Sounds like a Dell fanboy to me that doesn't like what I posted.

    I propose mandatory, permanant subnet bans for anyone who quotes Fight Club in any kind of a discussion, ever.

    I hate that movie so much, and the idiots it spawned, you have no idea.
