C-141XL Charging issues.

I'm having some issues with my laptop for quite a while now.
It would seem that the DC jack does not work correctly or the chargers I've used do not work, or both.

What happenes: I have to push the charger upwards or downwards for it to work. Sometimes it has to be constant (put something to keep the presure) or I just hold it for a few seconds and it stays charging. With the current charger I have, I must wiggle a bit and it works. I've used a multimeter to check the charger voltage and it supplies 19V so the charger is OK. The battery is OK aswell as it does charges well. When it doesn't I remove the battery and leave the charger connected but it doesn't turn on unless I wiggle the charger or put pressure on it.

Probably a bad connection from the charging port on the motherboard... I wouldn't really know where to get something like that fixed but you might be able to re-solder the connection on your own...

Pulling this thing apart completely is kind of a pain in the ass, but its definatley cheaper than buying a new one...

Ah screw this.
It's for sale now if anyone is interested. $350 and I'm keeping my hard drive.
