Broke the KDE power manager

So it looks like I broke the KDE power manager plasmoid. It used to work perfectly (except setting screen brightness, which I fixed with 'acpi_backlight=vendor' in my grub kernel line) but I seem to have done something that prevents it from detecting when the power adapter is connected. It knows at some level, because it will calculate an estimated time remaining, but it will still say plugged in and it won't switch profiles. But what's really confusing me is this: if I run the following command, it will figure it out...but all I'm doing is READING:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/online

Obviously the easy solution would be to figure out what the heck I did to break it in the first place, but I've been trying to figure that out and getting nowhere. Just got this laptop, so I've been making a ton of changes. Tried reversing everything I could think of that may be related, but didn't have much luck.
