So I'm starting to have some issues with my laptop charger. It is not charging my computer without constantly fidgeting around with the plug. The problem is getting worse and I have to pull the charging cord off to the side to get it to charge now. So the question is how do I determine if it is the plug on the end of the cord or if it is the port on the computer that is not working correctly?

I have repaired them before by carefully cutting into the molded plastic on the body of the connector to expose where the wires are attached, then cutting back the wire and resoldering it. It's a bit tricky and looks ugly, but it works.
