2 days ago, I unplugged my gaming laptop charger from the jack, and couldn't plug it back in. Thinking that there was dirt/plastic stuck inside, I (probably stupidly) used a few toothpicks to poke around in both the jack and the charger tip. The charger tip did end up fitting back in the jack...

Today, when I arrived home and powered on my eurocom M3 laptop (aka clevo w230st), I noticed the fan speed rapidly increasing.
