Windows 10: lenovo laptop not charging

I recently bought a new Lenovo Yoga laptop off of a craigslist-like app from a random seller.


the laptop, which I've had for around a month now, has been working beyond my expectations. EXCEPT, whenever I needed to charge it I would have to hold the charger in the port at a certain angle.


I've been doing this for weeks but today it suddenly stopped working all together and i can't tell if it's my charger or the actual laptop itself. I was playing on it fine all day and chatging it and now suddenly no matter how I move it it wont charge.


the actual charging port where I insert the charger is slightly loose, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.


please, can someone help me? T_T I use this laptop for school and for games and it's like a child to me

:)

Laptop no longer charging since Windows 10 update

Thanks for the response, but the issue is not the battery or the laptop. It was charging and working fine prior to this most recent Windows 10 update.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. When the charger is plugged in, it just says "plugged in", but my battery has been at 2% for the past several hours. Obviously the charger is doing something since it's holding the 2% power, but it's not charging. There has to be some day to bypass whatever this update broke.
