AC adapter swallowed something?

ok.. here's the deal..

i have to jiggle the ac adaptor on my laptop to make sure it stays a certain way so that my laptop is powered by the ac adaptor and not the battery..

when i first noticed this, i unplugged the ac adaptor and noticed that the end that goes into the laptop had a screw or something..i dont have a picture yet.. but..

here's what it's supposed to look like on the end: O

here's what i looks like O=

i dont know if it melted some screw into it.. im kinda skeptical on just taking pliers to pull the thing out as i have no idea what this is.

the laptop is a hugebee (formerly internetishop.com) and i have had no other problems other than this power thing.. if anyone has any clue how to help i would appreciate it as i need this thing powered for my classes!!

note: laptop works fine once i get that stupid O= into the right position when i plug it into the laptop..

thank you for any help you may provide!

I also have a Hugebee laptop from internetishop.com but I am unable to access their site. I still have like 2 years left on my warranty... Did they go out of business or something?
