MacBook Air (Mid 2011) doesn't charge

I have a MacBook Air (Mid 2011) and it won't charge the battery when I plug it to the wall adapter.

No matter what i do the light on the L shaped connector magsafe doesnt light up.

 

After a few tries, a few minutes, or even a few hours it just works..and I don't know why, or what to do to make it work all the time.

 

I tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964), followed every step, but it doesn't help.

 

I dont know if the problem is in the MagSafe Power Adapter, or if it is in the MacBook Air MagSafe Connector.

 

Here is a video of me trying to connect it to the Power Adapter without success:

Then 30 minutes later it is working again:

This time was 30 minutes, but there sometiimes is much, much longer before I get it to work..

What sloud i do?

 

My mac is still in the warranty period. If i take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP), will they change the faulty component for free?

(Where I live, in portugal, there are no official Apple Stores..so i can't go to one).
