    My M11x would normally charge to full then the charger with stop charging and the laptop start to run off battery instead of the outlet. If I unplug the wall charger from the M11x then plug it back in it will not start charging again. Only when I unplug the wall charger from the wall outlet and replug it will the M11x start charging again. This is kind of annoy. I'm not aware of any Win7 setting that does that. It might be the power brick issue. Anyone experienced this?

    definitely a power brick issue, people have also had this problem after reporting the smell of burning plastic coming from the ac port
