I bought a 230V AC to 12V DC adapter from Amazon which is sold and labeled as a 3A adapter. Main problem is, its thermal fuse trips when I pull just 2.2A, and yes it does feel really hot when it trips. It also pulls 0.8W when idle, which feels a bit wasteful.

I do actually need about 2.5 A, so I'll need a replacement. Where do you guys get decent adapters, and how do you know if an adapter is any good when you see it in a webshop?
