What I Want to Know is...

that's very frustrating when that happens, especially if the battery is not plugged in, it will cause computer problems, maybe your using dell? most of their laptops have that problem, you can try to fix that with a little workaround like putting a paper, tape, paper match as a shim.

It sounds like it's a very poor design. I used to use a Dell and I didn't have that problem at all. My power cord stayed in with no problem. I have a Macbook Pro now and the power cord is magnetic which is a great design. It stays in but if you forget it's plugged in and move the computer, it just pops right out without damaging the cord or the plug. I will give you some advice though. It's not really good for the battery to be plugged in all the time. It will actually reduce it's lifespan. It's better to let it cycle. You should use it down and discharge most of the way and then plug it in to recharge. If you want to store the battery, it should be stored when it's about 40% charge. If you want to use your computer with it plugged in, you should take the battery out, however you can't really do that if your cord isn't staying in. If you have an old battery that won't keep a charge very long, you could use that one to leave it plugged in if you want. As long as it has a little power capability to keep your computer going for bit when the cord falls out. That way, you could save your good battery for when you really need it.

I usually have my laptop plugged into electricity, but I also use batteries, as I don't like to see my percentage of computer time drop down too much. So what I do is use batteries, but instead of buying expensive ones all the time, what I do is recharge them. I bought the recharging machine and the batteries at IKEA and have not been sorry I did! I usually have to charge my batteries once a month, which is no big deal and I can continue with the recharged ones!

My laptop cord has two pieces that plug into each other. A lot of times when iI move my PC to work they come apart. If I use the laptop in bed the same thing happens because I have to plug into a power strip on one side of bed and put the PC on the other side. This means putting the cord under the pillows and moving around on the bed causes the cords to come apart, which I never notice until the screen goes dark.

I have a Dell and mine snaps in, and I am grateful as my battery no longer works. I did not discover this until the other day that I unplugged it so that I can go into another room with my Laptop and whoops no power. Mine does fit right and and will not fall off, so maybe it is certain brands or types.. as I use to have an HP and did have the problem you mentioned.

I have a Toshiba notebook and never a problem with the power cord, it fits perfectly on the plug and sticks firmly, I can even move it around and still being connected. Possibly either your cord or connector is damaged. Also think that Dell is the cheap brand and they don't have the best products of all.

WEll, my battery doesn't even work, it's an Acer, so the designer is pretty unintelligent. I just hate it when it doesn't work your way. Yes, some lap tops get ruin pretty fast. It's really is irritating. You can also go online and find another one to replace it.

I'm using Samsung brand and have not had problem with the charger so far after using it for three years now so I'm really happy. I know how frustrating your problem is because this has happened to my younger brother's power cord before too and he was very upset about it. He was using different brand though but I just can't remember what the brand was. I hope you will get it solved soon and have a nice day

Well I'm typing on a laptop computer right now and the power cord hasn't fallen out once, I have been on the laptop for almost a month now and the power cord hasn't fallen out once. I would suggest to you to call the company and complain or you really need to get a power cord that will stay in. Becausr they aren't supposed to fall out that easy.

if keep power to laptop if battery is full it damages the battery better to remove the battery and plug your laptop and use if you dot want to waste battery this is the best way to get max life for battery
