Our 13" MacBook Pro has recently become very finicky about charging as of late. This model has the "L" shaped Magsafe connector for power and it seems to take a lot of wiggling and plugging/unplugging to get the charger light to finally come on and for charging to start. Most of the time the charger snaps into place and nothing happens- no orange light and the computer doesn't acknowledge it is connected. Often I end up messing around with it for 5 minutes before it will finally work.

My question is; is this an issue with the connection on the computer side or the charger side? How would one be able to tell?
