I have to push hard on the charging cord into the port to get it to connect so that I can charge my laptop. Should I replace the charging cord or is it a port issue?
Plz check the charger to some other laptop and check it is working or not. If the charger is not charger the other unit then issue is with the charger otherwise issue with the port.
It might be charger issue or port issue. Try using an alternative charger and check. If you are facing the same issue by using an alternative charger then it is a port issue.

Thank you William and Easwar. I tried a new charging cord and that didn’t solve the problem so I think it’s the port. I have to wedge something between the cord and the laptop to hold the cord in place to keep it connected.
I purchased a new charger, I purchased a new battery and a new DC in port and nothing changed. It is exactly as you describe where I have to hold my cable at a certain angle for the laptop to charge and that angle is getting harder to find.

Hello,
I'm having the same issue with the same laptop.
I purchased a new charger, I purchased a new battery and a new DC in port and nothing changed. It is exactly as you describe where I have to hold my cable at a certain angle for the laptop to charge and that angle is getting harder to find.
Please someone advise!
