It is possible that the power jack port on the notebook has come loose or detached from the MB, this can occur through nothing more than everyday use.
Does the ASUS have a name or number on it such as Asus N56VM-S4110V

Is there any movement in the notebooks power jack port when you plug in the AC adapter.
Does your AC adapter have an LED on it that normally illuminates when it is being used to power/charge the notebook and if so does it still illuminate when connected to the wall socket.
You are welcome BTW

Also, the charger gets to be REALLY hot now. When I pull it out if I touch it by accident I feel like the sun just supernova'd and the heat landed on me.
The model is right, btw.

From the additional information provided the jack does not sound as if it has come away from the MB but more likely to be worn/damaged internally, if this is the case you may wish to consider having a local tech or tech store carry out the repair as it requires the notebook to be dismantled and this is a task that is above the average user due to the complexity, as your notebook is relatively new there does not appear to be a repair guide available at present so the best that I can do is provide an example of the repair procedure should the power jack port need to be replaced http://www.insidemyl...-dc-power-jack/

I also hope that it is the charger, any replacement or repair cost is bad enough so the less it cost the better.
You are welcome BTW

Just so you know,it would be a power port repair not a MOBO repair..The power strips probably have broken at least one..it's just a pain to get to.. Also they can be soldered back into place,as to being replaced,if indeed this is the correct cause of your issue..It does sound like tho..By tech stores do you mean like best buy and stuff? Or more independently owned? Thanks a lot for the help, I'm hoping it's the charger because I've heard the MB repair is expensive.

If you are happy to keep using the notebook in such a way then that is fine, you may find that it will function this way for so long and then possibly only when the notebook is laying as it should be on the base.
Fully understand not taking the notebook into a tech store while it is working
