Charger won’t go into port

A few days ago, our friend came over with his son, and he was kicking the side compartment of the futon where I keep my laptop. When I checked the laptop, the charger fell out of the port and now it won’t go back in so the laptop can’t charge. It’s like something is blocking it from going all the way in. I don’t know if a piece from the charger itself broke off inside or what. I have all my kids baby pictures on this thing and I’m just wondering if there is a way to get the battery charged so I can at least get the pictures off of it, or if I have to replace the charge port.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Either the pin inside the charger plug is bent or the charging socket on the side of the laptop is damaged.

Usually charger port needs to be replaced. Most models have a removable DC-in cable instead of being soldered to the main-board.
