Not Charging, Charger Heating Up

Lately my laptop has been a pain to get it to charge. I will have to wiggle the charging cable around or hold it in a certain spot for it to start to charge. When I finally do get it to charge that corner of the laptop gets noticeably warmer then it did before. I have replaced the power cable but that did not help. I am not sure if it is the Magsafe board or the battery.

Thank You.

Did you repair or replace the whole AC adapter? It sounds like you repaired the cable.

Yeah sounds like it's an issue with the adaptor.

I purchased a whole new ac charger. It is the new design with the 90degree end on it instead of the straight.
