Hi,

My charger only works when slightly pressed in, when left with no force pushing it slowly in the charger does not work. Is this a charger or laptop issue. What would be the best cause of action to resolve this?

Update - The charger doesn't always work when pressed in, only in some positions more often doesn't charge (No orange light)
thanks

Most likely you are suffering from a failing power jack. It's a common enough occurrence that some companies specialize in the repair. In some cases it can be a DIY thing to replace the power jack. This video let's you know just what is involved in the repair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB0Y7G1p5Z0 . From there you can decide if you want to tackle the repair yourself or take it (ship it) to a shop for repair. In your case a decent level of soldering skills are needed to do the repair
