You're quite welcome :). Mine was a replacement. They said they'd try to fix the original, but I told them to replace it since they were going to be in there anyway. The price difference wasn't that great.
Thank you to everybody. I called the manufacturer today and they are sending me a new ower cord. If that doesn't solve the problem, they say they have to replace my motherboard. Isn't that a bit much?
Anyway, it won't cost me anything because I have an extended warranty and I'm covered--thank goodness.
