Battery charging
Inspiron 5502/5509
I have a problem with the connection for the cord into the charging port. The cord has to be in a certain position in order for it to charge the battery. Is this a problem with the battery or is there a seperate connection that it plugs into? I don't believe the power cord is the problem
Thanks
Ken

It's either the DC plug on the adapter or the DC input jack. Try a new OEM Dell adapter first -- if that doesn't solve the problem, replace the DC input jack:
