The actual problem in some cases is the Foxlink power supply and not the power cord. The Foxlink power supply did not use rivets to hold the power connecter to the circuit board where the power cord plugs in at. They used plastic clips instead which can allow the connecter to move a little and break the solder joints. This can cause sparks which can lead to a fire. The new cord some are getting has a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) built into the plug so if the power supply sparks it will trip and stop it from catching on fire. It does not actually fix the problem which is a defective power supply.
Everyone else is getting a new cord that looks like the old one but just fits a little tighter into the back of the machine.
