I have a Toshiba laptop and basically, for the laptop to charge I have to apply a lot of pressure to the charger, so it shifts to the right, and it charges. My laptop's battery holds only 10 minutes max, so I would have to hold it all the time like that. Is there anything I could do myself?
I can't send it to a repairing center or buy a new charger. The laptop is Toshiba L305-S5921. So, again, I have to shift and apply pressure to the tip of the charger for it to charge. Tape won't hold it as it needs a lot of pressure.
I am okay to open the laptop as long as I know that it's for sure fixable.

Had the same problem , just replace the jack where you connect the charger, there is nothing wrong with the charger and i replaced 4 chargers but problem wasnt solved, just go to laptop shop and replace the jack where you connect the charger--
1I had a similar issue to this with my laptop charger twice over the years and I found that replacing the charger cord fixed the issue. Upon inspection of the tip of the cord the plastic shroud was very weak and in my case a tiny bit was missing which was exposing the wire. Only when applying pressure in a very specific spot could I get the laptop to charge. Take a look at your charger and see if there is any abnormalities with the shroud or the tip of the cord.
