My last laptop (an Acer) was plagued with charger issues. We sent it in for repairs 4 times within a few months before we gave up and got rid of it entirely. At the time, we had thought it was just a bad laptop and worse customer service. So when we got my new one, we made sure to get a different brand. This is a Lenovo Ideapad S400 Touch. All of a sudden, as of last night, the charger port began to come a bit loose. I didn't pay it too much attention, because in my previous experience, charger ports can last a few days or weeks more before they become absolutely unusable. But I just sat down to plug in my laptop again, maybe 12 hours later, and the cable wouldn't even stay in. My laptop will not charge by any means now. Is this problem just way more common than I thought? In that case, why did it never happen with my first two laptops? Is it possible that I have been doing something to cause this to happen to my computers over and over again? And most importantly, how can I fix it?
