Hello,
for more than 5 months now, the end of my charger gets extremely hot every time I plug it into my computer, I'm worried it might melt the charging connector. In addition, I have to force the plug a lot for my PC to start charging.
Do you know what might be causing this and how I could fix it?

Hello,
Over time, it's possible for a play to develop in the socket and cause short circuits in that area, which could explain the overheating.
In the event of a short circuit at the connector or socket, the charger should stop, so you inadvertently switch to battery mode.
However, it is normal for the transformer case to heat up to around 60°C.
Do you have any play in the socket? Does it move a bit?
If you have to force it, it means the socket is not properly in place or the connector is deformed, and the longer you keep forcing it, the more problems you'll have, until the socket completely detaches and you can no longer charge.
Check with a repair technician to re-solder the socket if there's any play and inspect the condition of the connector to see if it needs replacement.
