Issue with charger port on Acer Swift 3 model N20C12

mksam22

So I just bought a new charger because the old one was bent and slightly charred. I had been having some charging issues off and on, but the past few days it got to the point where I was having to hold it at a specific angle in order for it to charge. Yes, I know I probably shouldn't have been using it in that condition, but we can't do anything about that now. The new charger works fine, but the same thing is happening where I have to hold it at a certain angle. Also the cord started to overheat after I had it charging for about 15 minutes. Same thing happened with the old one, hence why it was charred (yes I know, I should not have done this) So it must be the port. Both my old and new chargers are 65w with the little pin hole. Is there any alternative way I can charge it? Like a USB-C port? Sorry if that's a dumb question and this model doesn't even have a USB-C port, I don't know what I'm doing at all.

You mean you have a Swift SF314-43-xxxx model, as that is how its identified as and NOT by the model N20C12 that is written on the back sticker, yes its confusing I know😁

The Swift SF314-43 laptop is a 2021 laptop and it could be that you will also need to replace the main battery for proper charging and functionality of the laptop.

If the adapter doesn't charge and you have to put the adapter barrel plug into the port at a certain angel, then the DC charging port is damaged too, which is soldered to the mainboard and you need to take this laptop to a tech that has all the micro soldering tools to solder a new DC port and replace the damaged one. As afterwards the charging and adapter will work fully on this laptop. Good luck.

These are the parts that you need for this laptop to replace:
