Has anyone experienced this?  It seems that there is a bad connection with the AC Adapter but I'd rather not send it in if I can help it. I have replaced the hard drive so I'm rather fearful of being stuck

I dont think an SSD could effect this as i've had the drive in for almost 3 months with nothing but great performance. What do you all think?

I was having the same problem, then 2 weeks ago (while i was in an airport) i noticed that i lost power entirely, and looking at my power adapter there are two spots on the cord (where it usually curvs arount the bend of the power brick when its coiled up) that seem to have meted a bit.

I can get power with it if i hold the line in traction, or after having electrical taped it. What I cant do is find any place to get a replacement adapter.  Best buy has nothing...

Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that mate, bad luck. I haven't found any problems with the cable although i remember noticing that the power cable didnt connect flush to the laptop and i pushed it a bit and that seemed to be the issue. ( i shouldve took it back at that point) it never gave my any problems however until maybe a month ago. I'll just have to phone Nokia then.

If anyone was curious my Booklet had a bad battery. An associate at one of the Flagship stores was kind enough to replace it.

What colour was the light flashing, and did it look the same as "almost flat" (ie flash at the same speed)? - Miles.

It is actually both the "mains power" and (with some delay) the "battery" icons flickering (the latter sometimes turning red even though it should be blue as per the full charge status. This seems to be due to the plug of the AC-200 power supply /charger shipped with type RX-72 Booklet 3Gs which is NOT making proper contact, being longer than the socket's depth and having all-too-literal radial "wiggle room" (as if of insufficient diameter) at least on the units of several reviewers at http://hukd.mydealz.de/deals/ebay-wow-nokia-booklet-3g-349-euro-versandkostenfrei/8751#un96854 - moreover I have heard one of these netbooks (not just the PSU itself) make a high-pitch hissing sound (as from switching PSU or LED backlight transformer coils) only while the mains charger is plugged into the Booklet 3G. In fact it needs to be firmly plugged in to make contact at all, but it just does not fit tightly into its wider than expected socket - actually whatever little vibrations are caused probably by the slow hard disk suffice to disconnect the plug and drain the battery after a few hours unattended in an empty room. I do very much hope that this is just a problem of the charger rather than an engineering defect in the Booklet itself, and that Nokia will indeed take the opportunity to offer me another one with a better plug to try.
