My laptop, while plugged into the AC adapter won't lose any charge but also won't charge. It will charge if I bend the power cord a certain direction but otherwise not a charge. I'm kinda of hoping its just the adapter and I can buy a new one. Can anyone help? Could it be the power jack or just the adapter?

It could be the jack, but it is also possible a wire is broken in the cable. If the power was stored neatly every time, then the wire was flexed in the same spot and could have broken. With careful testing the broken spot can be located and repaired.

How do I test it? Would it just be cheaper to buy a new adapter? I have no idea how much power jack things cost but it sounds expensive. Thank you so much for your help ><

It's common for the jacks on laptops to break loose from the motherboard. Remove the cable. Stick a finger in and see if you can wiggle the jack. They are only held in place by solder joints. It might be able to be fixed by resoldering.

I tried wiggling it and it didn't seem to move or be loose. I just got the battery replaced cause I thought it was that so I'm positive its not the battery. Could it be something inside the computer? When I bend the cord part of the charger to the left it says its charging/fully charged but when I unplug it the computer goes right back to 94% or whatever it was left on. Could it just be sending false single? It doesn't lose charges when its plugged in though

"It will charge if I bend the power cord a certain direction but otherwise not a charge." That would sure indicate a jack or an adapter cable problem.

Do you know which one it most likely is? It doesn't lose power when the cords in but won't charge and I don't wanna like buy a cord if its most likely the jack or vise versa
