Odd 8662 Heat issue: AC Power Plug Stuck... or Melted!?!?

First let me say all of my component temps are fine and my 8662 was purchased in August (from the fine folks at Xotic).

Last week, I noticed a lot of heat generating around my laptop's AC power port. When I removed the power cord, the metal jack that inserts into the laptop was extremely hot. Hot to the point I was concerned it could soften or melt any plastic fittings it may contact and is hottest when the laptop is both on and charging the battery.

I soon noticed the power plug wasn't seating properly (not a typical case of the 8662's power cord coming loose) and the laptop wasn't charging. Fixed it by wiggling the plug or changing the angle at which the power cord meets the "L" shaped fitting and was back in business.

As of this morning, I can not get the AC power jack unplugged from my laptop. The power jack/cord coming from the power supply into my laptop's AC receptacle is stuck and stuck hard. I'm afraid if I use any more force getting it off, I could damage the power port. Only thing I can figure is something has melted or a fitting is bent. It also isn't charging.

Anyone heard of this? Should I attempt to open that part of the case? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


EDIT:
I got it unplugged and can now get it get it on, off, and charging again,... but something isn't right and it took a ton of effort to unplug.

Is it normal for the power port & jack to get so hot????

 

Exactly the same happened to the first laptop in my sig. However, it was my fault since I removed the heat pipe and reapplied it without applying new themal paste. The G736 had no themal sensor other then for the HDD, which got as hot as 56°C. On top of that I bought a Trust AC when my original one broke instead of buying a new original one - the power plug of the original one was made out of hard plastic while the Trust one was made out of soft plastic. Therefore the power plug of the AC melted in the power jack and got stuck. I left it like that and everything was working but when I tried to pull it out and used to much fore the whole power jack broke down. Well, in my defense the G736 was build in such a way that the super hot P4 exactly next to the power jack. Anyway, pretty amazing that the CPU still ran that long... it must have been 100++°C hot...

So, unless you made equally stupid mistakes it is NOT normal that the power jack gets so hot that it can melt the power plug of the AC adapter;-) And even then, your 8662 hosts a mobile CPU, that would shut down long before they get hot enough to melt something.

 

Hi you guys! My laptop's power cord was stuck in the outlet. When I tried to pull it out, only the internal part of the power cord came out, and now the external part of the cord is still stuck inside the outlet.

What do I do?!?

I appreciate any advice that either of you can lend regarding my issue...
