Computer troubles
My Lenovo y560p laptop has a charging issue. I have to wiggle the charger when its in the computer to actually make it charge. Ive looked it up on the lenovo forums but havent found anything yet.


Things ive tried that people have said worked.
Plug it in without the battery to see if the battery is faulty (battery is fine)
Plug it into multiple plugs in the house (they arent the problem)

Someone help me, I just want to play more Dayz.

It's your adapter. It probably has a false contact issue.
You have change it or the little head piece. Depends on which one isn't responding properly.

Same thing with an old laptop I had. I took it apart and found out the Power Adapter port was loose, so I soldered it back together and worked just perfectly after that. Take it apart and check if that might have happened.

Thats most likely the issue. Is there any way i could do it without taking it apart? If not ill just get my friend to do it.

Nope. If you don't think you can do it, then just have your friend do it. It's really simple.
