I knocked my 2011 MBA off my bed while I asleep this morning. My MBA is fine, but the charger is in question. The magnetic piece got stuck in the port. I was going to purchase another charger altogether until I used some pliers to pull the magnetic tip off from the port to investigate. I initially thought the charger cracked into two pieces and was damaged until I noticed that the magnetic piece and that long part with the green/amber indicator portion were actually 2 parts and it came apart. I snapped the two parts together. All I did was push the magnetic tip that goes into the charge port and snapped into that long piece with the indicator light and it seems to charge just fine.
I thought I was going to need a new MBA when I couldn't get that magnetic piece out and I really wanted to wait for the redesign (if one ever gets released). My question is, do you think the charger will hold? I was surprised that the entire part didn't just pull out like it usually does when I move my laptop around, but instead, broke into two separate parts. t need this laptop and can't be without one at work. Thanks.
