yeah ,of course go for the warranty. A 3month old power supply failing
is a shame!
I once had the same problem, when I bought my IIGS with a Vulcan. So I
returned it to my local Apple dealer. Fortunately he could fix it him-
self (it was a blown resistor inside). I know, he isn't like many other
Apple dealers... :)
If everything else fails, you could perhaps have an electronics-savvy
person fix it for you.
