Solved: What is the problem, laptop or charger?

Okay so about a week or so ago my laptop (or charger) starting acting strange, would only charge if the charge was in a certain position, so i thought the charger internal wires were broken, so i ordered a new charger and its pretty much the same story, it will only charger in a certain position,now im getting the idea that the port inside is broke ( although looking from the outside of it inside the port, it looks still intact) and getting the impression something needs to be soldered, but i am not so sure, any ideas as to where i go with this? im not very keen on sending it to acer as there service can be hurrendous at times, but if it doesn't cost that much to take it to a local computer store to fix, ill do that, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know

Thanks!
