fault in power socket

[jcr]

Acer Nitro 5 lap top. about year and half old.
i mostly use it on my lap whilst sat on a chair.
now whenever i move it the charge cuts off and on if its plugged in.
it seems like the connection is loose/faulty at the point where the power lead plugs in.
is this something i can fix myself?
thanks.

thanks for the reply. ive not used a soldering iron before but it looks easy enough. i may well give it a go.

You would need exact model number
But a quick look suggests
It may be a plug in job no Soldering
For at least a few of acer nitro 5 models if not all
How easy it is to get to may be another question though
For dismantling laptops
I take photos and print them
Then as take screws out I tape them to the relevant place
In the photo
Since I find the biggest pain is all the different screw sizes

thanks for the advice.
my model is Nitro AN517-52
can anyone advise where to buy the part?

turns out it was the power lead thats faulty.
£41 for a glorified plug seems a bit expensive
