Question

I Have an Acer Aspire laptop and evertime you plug in the charger it will show no signs it's connected and the laptop is now out of battery so it will not turn on at all. Even when my charger is plugged it, it wont turn on. Before this started happening the screen would flicker bright and then dark ( loosing connectivity between the charger im guessing ) but then this also started happening to my brother computer which is the same brand. If i'm lucky i can bend the charger on a certain angle and try and hold it there with something heavy to keept it charging but it will only last about 1 minute till it looses connection again. If you have any ideas on what this might be im all ears :D
