I've had this laptop for about a year and a half. It eventually stopped charging unless I had it in a specific place, which was fine since I didn't move it. then it started whenever I would touch it, which would annoy me but i just used an external keyboard and mouse. Now I have to put about 25 pounds of pressure on the connector for it to charge for a quarter second. The charger doesn't feel loose, or wobbly, and the charger works since I used it on my brothers comp and it worked fine. Help please
 
Solution
I can only think of 3 possible solutions:

1- If you know basic electronics/soldering, you can try to repair it yourself, with some youtube help.
2- Have it repaired again, try to find a reliable/trustworthy repair shop, that will give you some kind of warranty.
3- Sell it, buy another one

Most likely there is a charger connection problem inside the laptop. In order to check this, you would have to dismantle it and check (only if you know what you are doing, or are very careful and follow an explanation video) or take it to a repair shop.
