Power adapter/Magsafe 2 not charging / no light after mishap.
I use my MacBook as a desktop computer, always with the power cord plugged in.
A month ago my quite old magsafe did that little *pop* and light went blank, happened years before so I knew I had to replace it. I bought a new one.
One month in all is fine, until yesterday. I accidentally dropped my Z906 speaker which sits on the left edge of my desk near or on the magsafe. It also took out the audio jack with it.
Suddenly the screen went black, the MacBook rebooted itself and the green light on the magsafe turned blank. I had no power and was on battery. What's strange is after I logged in, the time & date were set incorrectly, year was 2038, no internet, and I had to log back in on web pages with a saved user/pass. Did some sort of reset occur here?
That was resolved quickly enough. There was still no light on the magsafe and no charging. I wasted the battery trying to resolve the issue to no avail. Now that the battery is below 5% I can't power it on. My next step would be to get a new charger and see if that resolves it. Hopefully some of you can help with the symptoms I've described.

Don't chance it! Get a REAL Apple unit directly from Apple! Apple 85W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter (for MacBook Pro with Retina display)

The source is Apple authorized reseller. Same store, same chargers as the previous ones.
Only difference is that unlike last time, I had it delivered.
I don't feel much of a difference upon weighing them.
Was it a defective charger, and would it have happened regardless? If so, am I entitled to a replacement?

Wanted to give you the heads up that it was indeed a faulty unit.
Got a replacement an hour ago.
Thanks for the input.
