This morning I plugged in my laptop and after a moment heard some sort of sparking sound. I realized that during the night one of my dogs chewed a bit on the power cable. When looking at it I heard another, louder spark from the cable then a loud click from my computer and it shut off. After plugging in a backup power cable it restarted but the battery was no longer charging.
In the system tray it says connected, charging. However, the battery was losing its charge extremely quickly. It went from 35 to 7‰ in about 3 minutes. Once it hit 0 it stayed on for another 20 minutes or so before shutting off again.
Now it won't turn on at all. There is no indicator light active on the front (there was until it died) and it does not turn on at all.
Final note: before it died I attempted to remove the battery. It immediately shut off and would not turn on until the battery was reinserted. It turned on after I put it back in access survived another few minutes with the battery in and plugged in.
