Is the power adapter supposed to be really loose on this model?

Well mine fits tight, the transformer is insanely large and heavy making the whole thing less portable. But as for the plug, there is a strong connection, nothing loose at all.

I wouldn't expect it to wiggle from the wind, or fall out. On the other hand, I would expect it to pull out easily - a connection that's too tight can damage the connector inside the laptop, where it's soldered to the motherboard.

Define loose. My adapter connects without ever falling out but it is by no means as snug a connection as some other adapters I've had. I haven't had any problems with the adapter though, if that's what you're asking.

It is pretty solid. At least my two packs were. I prefer not to have any weight pulling on my cords as a general rule but I don't think a moderate power supply would cause the plug to decouple. If you have an approximate weight I can test it for you on one of the plugs I have.

Generally there is some heat felt on the adapter, that's normal; nevertheless, check that the fans are running free of any resistance, like dust or lack of lubricant; this has a tendency to increase heat on adapter and cord.

The power supply is on the bottom. Front of the case is not very stable. I had to call the factory after returning mine twice to get a new front. The front pegs were broken off on two of them.

I've had mine since December of 2014 with no issues of being loose. I do not adjust it very frequently either. It pretty much sits in place and works very well so far. If anything, it's still as stiff as day one.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems. My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Both the power cord and the solder iron cord need to be snug. Check them first and then make sure the solder tip is snugly fastened. Mine's been a workhorse.

Have the terminal checked where the charger plugs in. It may be getting or is loose in the laptop. You can sometimes tell if this is a problem by wigling the charger end slowly when it is in the laptop.

The laptop I am using it in doesn't have that problem. Perhaps like another answer suggested use a spacer, such as tape, to give it less space to wiggle itself loose or to simply make it more snug in place?

Mine used to fall off too. If you haven't already thrown it out, call them and have them send you a new replacement adapter that is metal. They know about this issue and will send it out for free.

I experienced this same issue when using the micro-USB port for charging. Using the round slot with the original power adapter charged it correctly in my situation.

I was in that same situation and the laptop knows to adjust accordingly. Just make sure all the cables are hooked up to the laptop *before* turning it on.

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, the power adapter is for the IDE/laptop hard drives. I have recovered data from SATA drives without the adapter in place although I normally leave it connected for convenience sake.

I have not had any problems with the AC adapter.I think it's a very good product.

It's a pretty loose fit. I find mine will only stay in if the USB cable is plugged in, snug and secure.Overall not a great investment.
