The charger that came in the box has started giving me issues.

I purchased my laptop in mid 2021, and it was great. However, about 2 months ago, the charger started to become very sensitive to the slightest rotation or movement. Now I need to use it a bit more, but it is nearly impossible to do any work without hearing the dreadful "unplugged/plugged in" chime. I have isolated the issue to the connection between the connector and the laptop port, since I have not found anything wrong with the wire itself.

Is this a good question?

@fzahra how does the connector on the charger side, fit? Is it loose? Damaged looking? Or is it the connector in your laptop that is loose? Difference here is that one can be replaced easier than the other. Post a picture of the connector coming from the charger. The one that plugs into your computer.

@oldturkey03 I have attached a picture of the charging connector in the original post. I cannot tell if anything is broken or damaged. The outer plastic ring has a few signs of wear. The laptop side has no wear or corrosion damage.

@fzahra that connector does not look to bad. There are two things I would try. A. a new charger (or try to replace the connector which plugs into the computer). B. if that does not fix it. replace the DC jack of the computer. It is more involved but not to bad. Using something like this video will definitely help with it.
