Do you see anything useful in /var/log/syslog when you plug it in?
If, in a terminal, your run
tail -f /var/log/syslog
then it will show the end of syslog and wait for new stuff to be
written there. Then plug in the mains and see what happens in the
terminal.  If necessary you can copy/paste the extra stuff here (use
Ctrl+Shift+C to copy marked text from the terminal).
