Power port not working consistently when plugging in AC charging cable so unable to charge

[erin397]

When I plug the cable into the AC charging port on my notebook computer sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm thinking that the port is bad and not the cable because I've tried it with a different HP cable and I get the same result. The plug feels loose and will sometimes make contact if I hold it. Is it possible to replace the charging port or is it not worth it? This computer uses the round plug not a USB C like some of the newer notebooks do. Any advice would be appreciated.

Please keep me posted! I feel like it might just be time for a new computer but I'm not really in the mood to have to go through all that for something so trivial.
