The dreaded loose charging pin problem in Lenovo IdeaPad L340

https://youtube.com/shorts/01l4-eWfQfc?si=o3v1lXno6byxul4k

Any permanent solution to this loose charging pin problem in Lenovo laptops which have rectangular pin port.

Can't we replace it with USB or anything better?

Edit 1: This is what I do to make it work.

  1. Turn ON the switch before plugging it into laptop.
  2. Slowly put it in until you see the LED light glow. Don't put it all the way into the port.

Edit 2: Oof, have to do some non-invasive procedure.

Oof! I'm still struggling with it.

Anyone here who has cut the wire and manually connect it to laptop. Should be possible if one knows where to connect each wire individually.
