The power cords pull apart at the blue light on every Alienware laptop I have owned.  I bought an updated computer 2 months ago and the connector has just pulled apart at the blue led again despite my treating it extreme care.  The weight of the ferrite bead and the cord itself causes it to happen over time.  This is a seriously design that should have been fixed sometime over the last 4-5 years I have owned Alienware.  If there is a way to reconnect it, I can't figure it out. 

I used hot glue on the previous cord when it started separating and that delayed it getting worse for a while.  I am in Japan now with my new computer for several months and don't have access to any tools or supplies. If anyone knows of a way to reconnect it, I would appreciate hearing it.

Special note to Dell:  Yes a blue LED in the cord looks cool, but it is pulls apart allowing stress on the wires themselves.  Stop trying to be cool and provide properly designed products instead!
