I have a toshiba laptop and my power cord wont strike right where it plugs into the 'puter. If you have it on your lap and you move, it will stop charging...pulling off the battery. It is aggravating to say the least.

Anyone ever have issue like that?

You reckon it is the power cord, or the female receptacle?

Also, the plug gets smoking hot when it is charging. Again, normal?

TIA!
