Broken Wall Adapter Power Supply - 5VDC, 2A (Barrel Jack)

Components & Accessories Power

I bought a Wall Adapter Power Supply - 5VDC, 2A (Barrel Jack) from:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15312

and it outputs 5.25 V, but as soon as a load is applied that needs around 300 mA, the voltage drops below 4 volts and jumps around. Consequently, the motor does not work.

Thank you.
