Greetings Everyone,

just a quick question.
for how long you can keep ac adaptor plugged into a wall, since it’s getting pretty hot after just couple of hours?

I keep mine plugged in almost 24/7 and it’s been months…just don’t put it on carpet or something that could burn and you should be fine.

I think this has been discussed before, but I have had my adapter plugged in at home since I got the TR.  I bring the iGo Juice adapter with me in the car and use it at the office when needed.

The VAIO adapter at home still works like a charm. :wink:

I leave mine plugged in all the time and it’s perfectly fine. These things are generally designed to be fairly durable.

Mine usually remains plugged in 10 hours a day and it doesn’t get very hot (using 220v here).

My adapter is plugged in 24/7 and my TR is on 24/7. No problem. I don’t find the heat excessive at all.

Mine is on 24/7, and on the rug and under our bed.

Thank you all for quick replies!!!

By the way, I’ve finally set up a wireless network at home.
got the wireless router connected to pc, and now actually sitting in the living connected through wifi on my tr laptop. niceeeeeeee.
although the speed is only 38mbps due to floor interference… but enough for surfing..

To all you guys that keep your TRs plugged in all the time, do you also leave the battery in at the same time?  I remember hearing that it can damage the battery to do that…  :shock:

38 is more then enough for surfing. If your going to transfer files of any large amount, I suggest going hard-wired…

Yeah I do. I’ve heard from both sids…some say its not good to leave it plugged in, others say its bad not to use the battery a lot. Either way your not going to get more then 2 years of a decent battery life and eventually it wont hold the charge..cutting that time down by a month or two wont effect my life in the least…it’s just easier to leave it plugged in.

This advice alone should kill all these battery concerns.
