Answer 2

use the life left in your battery to search ebay and just order another charger. seems pretty likely its been damaged. try and find one thats buy now, that way hopefully you wont have to wait long.

Answer 3

It sounds like the tiny wires that they make the cable out of may have broken causing a short in the power cable.  In all reality, I really don't think that there is anything you can do but replace your power cable.  To do that you will either have to buy an aftermarket one (very expensive) or one from the manufacturer (quite expensive).

If you have a multimeter you can check it out.  Set the multimeter to DC volts.  Then (if it has ranges) set it to a range that your adapter says it puts out (my guess is around 15-24v DC).  It should also have a symbol showing whether the inside is positive or negative, stick the positive either inside or outside (depending on which is positive) and the negative on the other part.  If you are not reading voltage this is the problem.

The other problem could actually be your laptop.  If the power center in your laptop got too much of a jolt or the center pin broke off, you won't be able to fix that for cheap.  This could be done yourself (go somewhere like Fry's Electronics to buy the parts) but only if you know quite a bit about computers.  I recommend taking it so a computer shop if this needs to be done.

Good luck man, that really sucks.
