I don't know if this helps but my son had what we thought was a faulty charger on his laptop with intermittent power problems. We sent the whole lot back to Gateway and they diagnosed a faulty socket and a break in the motherboard so I have come across this before. I had a similar problem with a socket on am old HP laptop but I had it 5 years or so so wasn't as bothered. The guy I spoke to at Gateway said it is quite common that people use their laptops and the sockets are put under strain, especially when people use them on beds or on their knees and the cables are bent and put under strain and it causes problems with the motherboard. The man from Gateway conformed exactly what Macman is saying. My son's laptop was only 6 months old. It happens.
