I posted some days ago abt my power problems

1/my nimh charger (external) is no longer charging batt's to full,
seems to switch over to trickle charge too early

I got a new charger and the batteries are fine again, I now get weeks
usage out the newton.
But I'm still interested to know why the charger stopped charging.
Although I'm quite good at taking things apart and fooIing with
them/fixing them, I have a limited understanding of electronic
components, so I have no idea _why_.
really, you might say, who cares, I've "solved" the problem with the
new charger, but you know, inquiring minds want to know
Do I throw the old charger in the landfill now?

problem 2/ broken power supply.
Still havent cracked the a/c adapter, and it still doesnt work. Not 
too concerned bc I now have reliable batt's again. But if anyone 
knows where to get info on the Quicktake 200 a/c adapter and possible 
fixes, I'd appreciate a pointer. Tried google and while there are 
great resources for the camera itself, I've had no luck finding such 
for the adapter.
