Why did my laptop battery stops charging

This laptop has a power problem. The laptop battery stops charging when I move the power cord on the DC laptop adapter. When I start moving the cord left to right, the power LED light on the front goes on and off and the laptop battery charge LED goes on and off too.
I removed the laptop battery and tested the laptop again. The laptop starts fine from the DC laptop adapter when the laptop battery is removed, but as soon as I start moving the power cord the laptop shuts off. It looks like the laptop looses power immediately.
First of all, I tested the power laptop AC Adapter with a multimeter. The power didn’t cut off no matter how badly I moved the cord. The power adapter output voltage was 15.45VDC all the time. That means there is nothing wrong with the power laptop ac adapters and most likely there is a problem with with the power socket inside the laptop.
You cannot simply unplug the jack and replace it with another laptop battery. You’ll have to unsolder the old jack and solder a new one back on the motherboard.
If the power jack is not broken but loose (not making good contact with the motherboard) you can resolder the old jack without replacing it with a new laptop battery.
