My laptop is having an issue.  It no longer is able to charge itself by plugging it into the wall.  It's now simply running off of the battery.  One night I tripped over the power cord after setting it on the floor.  There's no outward damage.  What would be my first step in repairing this?  I don't want to have to take it to somebody to get it fixed since I'm not rolling in money.   Maybe purchase a new power cord?  Could there be some internal damage?
