Title:

Computer doesn't recognize power supply when plugged in

Text:

My Vostro 15 7510 laptop doesn't charge or recognize the power supply when plugged in. Will charge from USB-C when connected to hub, but that's low power.  Power supply has indicator light on the barrel plug that's lit up, steady.  Can often get it to charge by wiggling the plug or pulling it partway out.

I opened it up, computer side of plug is soldered to the board and not very accessible. Any way to repair this?

Dell Vostro 15 7510
