My AC adapter seems to have broken prematurely

[Kwi9]

Since day 1 of owning this laptop I heard strange printing noises coming from the 200W AC adapter that came with my laptop.

The noise was very faint and barely audible but it was there, since it was my first laptop I just assumed this was normal.

Fast forward to today, and I felt my adapter get really hot, which I also believe it shouldn't do. Soon after, it died and I haven't been able to get it to work again. I feel like such an adapter should work for way longer and this event makes me think that it just died prematurely because it was faulty from the start. Anyone that knows more that can weigh in?
