Charger works only at a certain angle

My laptop only charges when the charger cable is held or bent at a specific angle; if it moves even slightly, charging stops immediately. I have already tested different outlets and tried another charger, but the issue persists, suggesting a possible loose connection or damaged port on the laptop itself.

    Gently blow into the port or use a can of compressed air to dislodge any particles. Avoid using metal tools like paperclips or tweezers inside the port, as they can damage the delicate pins.
