Thanks for the tries.

I can't get the battery out of this one, and I can't test the jack.

The battery is charging, but I am concerned that if the computer doesn't know it's plugged in, it might not go to trickle charge and overcharge the battery.

It's going in the shop this morning.

I've used ThinkPads for years, and they generally give me no trouble.

Another thought entered my head. The night before I woke up to find a bad external power supply, Microsoft did an update to my computer. Now I don't think the MS updated could have damaged the power supply, but I wonder if that had something to do with the computer not recognizing that it's plugged in. Hmmmmmm...
