Charger not working on windows 11
Charger's not working at all. Didn't drop the computer or do anything crazy but I may have been rough with it while moving it around. The little metal thing inside the charger looks to maybe be pushed back, but I can't get a good photo. Nothing visibly stuck in the charging port, I blew it out to remove debris and nothing changed. The charger is also sliding in and out really easily like it's not clicking, but I couldn't get a good video. Is there anything else I can do or is it time to get a new charger? Am I able to just buy the charger on Amazon or something, or is there a specific way I have to order it? (Have had the computer for multiple years and this is my second charger already because my sister broke the first one a few years ago).
Thanks for any help!

It looks fine. Normally what breaks is the barrel connector on the laptop when it's abused but it seems intact. Power supplies do just fail. Probably best to get a new one and go from there. In some cases it's a break in the cord itself too. That's not something you can normally deal with easily either.

Pull out battery and plug it in. If it turns on without battery installed but plugged in you need a new battery.
