Question:

my charger won't charge my laptop?

I have to keep wiggling it for it to start charging. sometimes it stays charching and sometimes it wont'. is it my charger or computer. I have already ordered a new charger and it does the same thing

Answer:

If you had it happen twice in a row, it probably wasn't a coincidence. If something small is broken within the input spot for the charger, that could affect it. However, if your electricity outlets in your house are old, or if you have a power surge, it could cause a short in the wires of your charger. You may be buying a bad brand of chargers. I have some cell phone and laptop chargers that do that because my town gets many power surges. Also, one of my laptops got hit by lightning and it fried the charger and it wouldn't work on my new computer. Try getting a different charger and charging it in another room/outlet. Also, if your charger is fried it can hurt your battery, which can cause problems. Try a new battery and if that doesn't work, have a professional take a look at your motherboard.
The power jack on the motherboard is loose-requires a professional fix
one my last laptop the charger port was directly conected to the mother board and and after four years that link busted and i had to replace the mother board but it did the same exact thing before i fixed it
If you have tried a different charger then it sounds like it could be your laptop. If it is still under warranty then i would return it. If not i would either try to get it repaired or look into what may be involved in fixing it yourself, may just be some simple soldering.
the problem is in you laptop battery you should change it or have someone do a check up if it's not the battery
