Same problem, same solution!

Hi, I HAD/HAVE the same problem....My charger wouldn't be detected and an ALERT BOX would appear saying "AC Power adaptor not detected". But thanks to you, as someone mention here, i plugged in the power plug forcefully, and surprisingly it worked! I mean then ,the charger was plugged in, charging from plugged in, not charging. Thanks a lot....Although I do have to get a new charger eventually...What the DELL huh!
