Hello,
For the past few weeks, my PC hasn't been charging properly; I have to find a specific angle for the charger each time, otherwise it won't charge.
I'm with Darty, but my PC has been out of warranty for about a month.

I'd like to know how much this type of repair costs.

Thank you in advance.

    What kind of computer is this???
    This happens frequently with power outlets; over time, removing and re-inserting the connector hole thickens it and makes contact with the power supply difficult.

    If it's coming from the power socket, you can buy another one; there are adapters that cost between €20 and €30. If it's coming from your computer's socket, you can check in the following way: there is a small bump in the power supply hole, take a pin or a pen and check that it doesn't move.
    If it doesn't move, your power socket is faulty.

    I've already checked and it doesn't move, but I've already tested it with another power outlet and it doesn't work either...
    I've read several forums and some say it's not repairable, that it's the motherboard...

    Thanks for responding to me anyway.

    It's also possible. Take it to a repairman but ask him for a quote first.
