IPhone or charger fuze fried?

I'll cut to the chase.my iPhone still charges but the charger needs to be in a certain position for the phone to charge whereas it used to be just plug it in and the iPhone would charge. I say this for the fact that a couple nights ago I found out that one of my charger went hey wire and decided to malfunction leaving some battery acid residue in its wake. Well, pulling the iPhone off the battery acid residue might have gotten the iPhone charge port too but the tricky thing is that the iPhone charger port started malfunctioning before this. I got an iPhone 3G.Does this make sense?

Answer:

No, not really (making sense that is) if you are using a wall/USB charger , there is no way that is it leaving battery acid residue, that if it is battery acid, is coming from the battery in the iPhone. Otherwise I will assume that the charger got wet in some fashion. So it's either a loose charging port, or a bad charging cable/wall charger. Anytime you have to hold a charger in a certain position or prop it up to allow it to charge, it will be either the port or the cable plugged into the port.
