I was able to bend it back in place over the hole where you stick the power cord in. But I wonder if I bent the peg inside the laptop housing and broke a connection making charging the battery impossible. I guess only time will tell.
Right now my laptop is plugged in, but when I click on the battery icon it says it only tracks battery usage when it is on battery power, not when it is plugged in. But I am plugged in and when I hit battery settings it is still telling me how much time I have remaining on my battery charge.
Unplug your laptop. Look at the icon to see how much charge you have left. Plug your laptop in for a couple of hours, then unplug it and look at the icon again.
If the second reading shows a greater charge than the first reading, you’re fine. If the second reading shows the same or a lower reading than the first one, your jack input is fucked and your whole world is about to come crashing down around you.
