guys,
connector is fine but my MBP 2015 has developed an issue: it is not holding so tight to the socket anymore like it was at the beginning
so the connection is loosen from time to time and cable just gets disconnected
I looked at the socket - it is ok
it seems it is the plug issue on the cable - it became a bit rounded on the corners etc and not holding so tight as at the beginning

is there any solution to this except changing the cable?
and now, seeing your article: should one go for DC cable replacement only or the whole charger? there is a lot of offers on amazon/ebay with "compatible" DC cables but are they really knowing what is inside?

thanks
