Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44-R7ZU - Suddenly Stopped Charging

justn17

I used to play games (Valorant, Dota 2) with my laptop plugged in and battery charge limit of 80%. Suddenly, this morning, it stop charging while in use (plugged in). I tried to connect to other power source, reinstall battery drivers and reboot, hold power button for 15 secs, wait 30 minutes to plug in the charger again, but nothing happened. The laptop is still useable (able to startup and run programs). Then, I tried to use my old 60-watts charger and plug it in (i know 135-watss is needed but i need to see if it will work). Fortunately, the charging and power indicator blinks. However, they are constantly blinking and disappear occasionally. 

Question:

- Is the stock charger the only problem here? Or maybe the battery? Does mb have nothing to do in it?

- Since the stock charger is not working, can I use the lower-wattage ones to charge the unit while off?
