I have a dell inspiron 8200, and it stuggles to charge or even run off the ac adapter because where it plugs into the back of the laptop has become quite loose. Is there anyway to go about fixing it? Because the laptop itself still works fine, when i can get it to run off the power!

Your DC jack has just come loose from the motherboard. It happens. You've just got to take it apart and resolder (or buy a new jack and solder that one on) it. I usually add some hot glue to hold her down. Good as new - you just need the skills to do it. And a soldering iron.
