yup, that looks like mine, except mine is all Silver. I have a car 
adapter for it, just trying to find one for in the house because hooking 
it to the computer to load, unload it on battery power would be a total

was on it. So, I think I'll play it safe and just go shopping for a new 
AC adapter.
