Thanks. She has subsequently dropped a note with a JPEG of the unit (which I would include but I don't have a website) and it shows that it is the cable itself, not the adapter, that blew.

The fault is at the adapter end of the cable, where the Maglink cable exits the adapter and is just past the strain relief. The cable has been blown right out, and has the burnt look of a dead short such as you see with a shorted A/C cable, so I'm assuming it's cable fatigue from being wrapped/unwrapped for storage.

This may be a goofy question, but I have to ask: Is there any chance that something in the computer itself would cause a malfunction in the adapter which then blew the cable? The logical side of me says the adapter simply converts the 120V A/C to something else, which then goes one-way to the Maglink end but.....
