A few months ago, my adapter started having issues while plugged in. It would only charge if the cord was pulled a certain way. I noticed that it started to get worse this year in that I had to spend more time adjusting the cord. It was also having a harder time staying hooked into its little hole.
I have no idea what happened yesterday but this morning the male end refused to stay put inside the hole. It comes out easily and doesn't even click. I can charge it, but only if I spend 5 minutes moving the thing around until I find the exact spot. Aaand then I can't move at all, so there's no point in even doing it.
Is this a laptop issue or the actual adapter itself?
I found one online that I can buy for $32, but I just want another opinion before I go and blow my money on something that might not even be necessary.
(Of course the alternative is that my laptop is in need of serious repair!)
I have a Sony VAIO VGN - FS810/W
The adapter is: VGP-AC19V11 AC Power Adapter 19.5V 4.7A
