Have you ever seen a problem with a DC device (iPAQ, laptop, phone, etc) that used a portable DC adapter like the one's from radio shack that plug into your car?
If so, how many?

Do you mean if the problem has been caused by being used on an adaptor, ie the adaptor has damaged them or won't run them properly?Quote:

Yep. I plugged my laptop into a radio shack adapter and now it won't switch to battery power. It runs off AC but won't switch to battery even though the battery is full.Quote:

Whether this was caused by anything associated with the RS adaptor, or it's just chosen now to do it by chance is hard to say.
