200w power supply caught on fire

[Mackdeezmusix]

Today I came home and went to play on my laptop which sits on my desk always plugged in. But it puts itself to sleep after 45 minutes. Anyways I didn't notice anything was wrong so I went to play a game. While I was playing the game I heard a zap and it sounded like it came from my laptop. I wasn't sure if it was part of the game so I kept playing about 1 or 2 minutes later the part that plugs into the laptop started smoking and zapping. As soon as it happened I pulled the cord out of the laptop. The spark/flame It melted the plastic on and around the charger. Theres wires showing now. Im unsure if the laptop is damaged but I got the jack out of the laptop and the cord is unplugged. Theres no marks anywhere else on the cord and there's no apparent reason why this happened.  Please help!
