   Thanks Paul ! (Paul from alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt)   
      
   After close inspection of the laptop and especially the connector I realize   
   what happened.   
      
   I think while I was trying to push/pop this connector out I pushed back one of   
   the metal pins.   
      
   It's now probably causing a short circuit of some kind which causes the   
   adapter to beep rapidly.   
      
   I made a video about it so you can see for yourself:

   Let me know what you think ?   
      
   I am pretty sure that metal pin is bent and needs to be bent back... if I fail   
   to do that this connector will have to be replaced and I am not sure how to do   
   that, pretty crazy to think that this little connector ruins a 1000 euro   
   costing laptop ! ;)   
      
   Bye for now,   
     Skybuck =D   
      
   P.S.: I will post some more/longer videos later on, one is kinda funny where a   
   tiny little cut fly visits me lol, the universe ! =D But for now this short   
   one to sum this up quickly ! ;)
