Over time, my plug has gone into the laptop less deep and idk what caused that to happen. Any ideas? I can't get it to go in far enough to charge/turn on the laptop anymore. Is this more likely a plug/power cord problem or laptop hardware problem?

@Heyitskevinlol The best way to confirm that is by checking with an alternate adapter, perhaps, you can borrow one from the local store or a friend and that'll tell you if its the adapter or the laptop hardware, also, if it isn't the adapter, it would be the DC port, and that part can be replaced, it could get a little tricky, however, you can either have a local tech do it for you or if you wish to indulge in growing your technical experience, let me know and I'll guide you through the process.
