Power is distributed to your motherboard via the DC power jack from the AC adapter.

This type of laptop DC power jack is soldered directly to the motherboard with small pins holding it in place.

This makes the DC power jack connections very weak to any stress applied.

A sudden sharp pull sideways or tripping on the AC adapter cord while attached to the laptop will usually cause damage.
