My Acer Aspire V5-571 began to only charge when the charger was in a certain position, which became harder and harder to find, so i ordered a new charger, however this didn't help. I proceeded to get the charging port changed at a shop, but the problem persisted. I ordered a new battery, and still the laptop would only charge when the charger was angled in a very specific way. What could the problem be?

That's... weird.

I'd think the problem would be in any of the two parts making the connection, either the adapter or the charging port, but if both were replaced I have no idea where the problem lays. You (or a tech) would need to disassemble the laptop and follow the flow of the energy and see what's up, I'm guessing schematics are not publicly available though.

You're sure the charging port was changed right? It's the first thing I'd check with the laptop disassembled and a multimeter at hand.
