The issue is almost certainly that the power tap has been damaged and will need to be replaced. This is a pretty common issue when you aren't careful with keeping the power cord from tugging on the tap.

Yes, though typically it's a male socket with a center pin that slides into a hole in the plug that goes to the AC adapter, and that center pin can break or become loose.
