As in the first post check the power jack on the laptop amd make sure it is not loose if you find that the jack is loose the best thing to do would be to replace the the power jack you can find them on ebay,if your power jack is fine then it will be the charging circiut on the mainboard and repairing the circiut might be impossible since most of the components are surface mount plus you would have a hard time finding new parts,in order for you to remove those surface mount components you would probably need a rework station a soldering iron would not work very well,if you can not repair your mainboard problem then you could find a replacment on ebay, hope this helps let us know what you find.
