Something that might prevent this problem in the future (or for others) is to give the adapter connector a quick shot of WD40 or the like. Pismos are notorious for tight adapter connections, and this solved it on my second Pismo. First Pismo was solved when I tripped over the adapter cord and launched it (Pismo) into space - landing on a concrete floor. Only damage was the adapter connector was now much easier to insert!
To prevent unintended 'launches', you can run wires (charger, ethernet, etc) from laptop, then around the leg of table it's on (2 or 3 times is better) or other solid object before crossing floor etc. Then if you trip, worst can happen is you rip the wires out of the wall or adapter. Much better than dropping laptop.
