Power cord fall out?

Question

I want to know if anybody else is having this problem: I use a Inspiron 5150, bought in December 2003, and the cord from the power transformer to the back of my laptop keeps falling out everytime that I move this laptop in anyway! I use to have a Gateway laptop which had the same problem so I just figured it's common among laptops. But this is getting ridiculous

You may want to consider getting it serviced, especially if you got the 1 year warranty.

I have a 5150 and it never falls out. Is your that little square one or the big round one. I've heard of the square one falling out, but the big round one shouldn't, I agree that you should get it serviced while you ahave it under warrenty.

I will have it fixed once I have my motherboard & processor replaced under my 4 year warranty. Apparently Dell can't handle more then one repair at a time!!!

Mine has a small round plug 'followed' (further down the cord) by a much bigger and heavier round cylinder, which I think has to be a fuse. The plug started 'coming out' when I first got it but since I had the same problem my previous (Gateway) laptop, I just thought this common for laptops.
