    I have a p100-st9752 laptop.
    The issue is the power cord where it plugs into the lap top is really loose and flops off. I sent the computer in and had the plug on the computer replaced.
    The power cord stayed snug for about the first month and now its loose again.
    I noticed Toshiba power cords on the lower end models stay put much better.
    This is a serious design flaw that the manufacture needs to address.
    I'm wondering if others are having this problem too?

    I have the same problem. I bought my P105 in february and i remember the connection being solid and everything. Right now the plug plops out every time I move the laptop closer to me when I'm on my bed. It's real annoying but most of the time i refrain from moving it so the adapter wont plop out. Design flaw? Yes. The adapter gets worn out too easily. The lower end models have the round plug that goes all the way in and is snug. The higher end models have the ones with the four prongs and the only thing keeping the plug in the laptop is that little bump on the top that "clips".
