My laptop has a very loose power connection to the point where if I slightly move the power cord it will not be getting power anymore. That wasnt too bad when I had some battery left, but now my battery has also died so now everytime my cord is nudged a little my computer will shutoff automatically which is frusterating and also not healthy for my computer as it didnt properly shut down.

What do I do?
 
you can solder it, that is really your best & only solution to actually fixing the problem
 
Hi,

If you can take the laptop apart then get a replacement socket for the motherboard. Unsolder the old one and solder in the new one.

You can get the sockets on eBay fairly cheap.
