The power adaptor and cord is not damaged in any way, as far as I'm aware.Д¬oconut battery shows I'm at 89% of current battery capacity, but charge is at 19%. I separated the cord from the adaptor, gave it a clean. The power adaptor feels warm to the touch when I feel it. The light remains orange but the battery doesn't recharge. I then tried a different mains plug and the same situation occurred. Also the moment I unplug from the mains the laptop instantly shuts down, and it shouldn't at 19%, it should keep functioning (with no apps running) till the battery gets very low. It also doesn't show that charging zigzag symbol, but the one you get when your laptop isn't charging. I didn't think too much of it, but as time passed the charge didn't go up, but stuck stubbornly at 19%. Rebooted it, and found that not only was it still plugged into the mains (the orange light on the charger showed it is apparently working) but that my battery was at 19%. Yesterday my laptop shut down unexpectedly, I thought I'd forgotten to plug it into the mains and the power had just run down. Afterwards everything has been working fine.
