Yesterday, I found my DV8P not wanting to charge with the included charger. I tried another and realized that the charger was not going in to the port completely. I took the cable back out and shined a flashlight down in the port and saw a 'fleck' of gold at the bottom of the connector. I had a bad feeling that one of the pins bent off of the port, but after I removed the fleck with a straight pin, it began to charge again when connected.
Anyone else have any major issues with the charging port so far and do you think I should fire this one in to Dell and have it replaced ASAP? It could have just been a part of a charging cable, or my USB OTG cable, but I'm a bit worried that it might be the port that is starting to kick the bucket!
