AAAGGGHHH!!! for me this site is peeves bothers and utter rage... Finally get a call back from the techie who allegedly fixed my computer. Apparently the adapter isn't covered under my 3 year warranty. That's not what their website says but that's beside the point. And that when he and I last talked I said I was going to purchase a new adapter and let him know if that was still the problem. Doesn't answer my question of since the battery had charged, wouldn't it still work without the adapter since it is a laptop and doesn't have to be plugged in all the time?? I think my head is going to explode.
