If your laptop charges only when the cable is held at a certain angle, or won’t charge at all, the charging port or power jack is the likely cause. It’s a common fault on laptops that get plugged in and out every day.

How we fix it
We always test your charger first, because a faulty charger gives the same symptoms and is a simpler fix. If the port is at fault we replace it, whether it’s an older round power jack or a USB-C port, and test the charging circuit on the board.

Questions
Could it just be my charger?
Sometimes. We test it with a known working charger before recommending any repair.
Should I keep using it?
Not if you can smell burning around the port. Unplug it and bring it in.
