that happened recently to my laptop power brick. In October, after not quite 2 
years of traveling with my laptop, I plugged it in, but the power light 
didn't come on. When I picked up the brick the light flickered... depending 
on how I held it, it worked/didn't work. Dell sent me a new one, after 
talking on the phone to a tech. I wish I could get them to replace the chewed 
up power brick for my Epson scanner!
