Hello, the male jack to my Acer stock 230W power source became bent for the Acer Predator Helios PH315-55-795C. I tried to straighten it, but the prong only make a sufficient connection in the port when I hold the cord in certain positions, which obviously is not a permanent solution, and probably does more damage every day.

Is there any way to repair the jack?

Alternatively, is there any material that I could use to wrap around the jack so that it makes a full connection in the port?

In addition, could you please direct me to some USB C devices at Best Buy or anywhere else that would sufficiently charge my computer through the Thunderbolt port?

@AnhEZ28 @Puraw @William_mk2 Much appreciated.

    As in the bit in the charger? i wouldnt recommend wrapping it as it it could lead to a fire

    For USB-C the anker nano 2 65 watt isnt a bad shout, cheap but should work. Think it can do up to 100w but the price of 100w usbc's go up quite a bit
