RE: [cobalt-users] Qube2 wont restore.

Yikes! $90 for a power brick??
Is this quite common? Should I just bite it and hope that this fixes it?

The external power brick is "faulty".  They were never really up to the
task
and as they get older they fail to provide sufficient power to drive the
Qube ... Hence it dies and restarts.  You need to get a replacement.
