    No, it shouldn't!! :( It should fit firmly into the internal socket...I had this problem with my 1530, and it ended up not holding a charge whatsover...The technician came and ended up replacing the Motheboard vs. soldering it (the internal socket).

    I also had them bring me a new brick and adapter...just to be covered at 100%...Now things work very well ;) :)

    Hope that helps!

    Cin ;) :)
