I had this problem with an HP laptop a few years back. The power jack had come detatched from the motherboard. I ended up getting a docking station for the laptop, it connected differently and avoided the broken power jack. It worked, anyway.

Try the same cord on an identical laptop (which might not be easy to find, granted). Wiggle the laptop - as if you were using it the way you do now.
Then try THAT person's power supply cord in your laptop. See where the failure. Could be both ends.

I've been trying to do some internet research but I'm not sure what keywords to use. I read something about a port replicator--do you know what that is? Would that help?
