Macbook Pro turns off when charger moves?

[UltimaLink]

I bought this 13" Macbook pro on christmas, so it is the 2010 version. Recently, when I move it with the charger in it, it seems to jerk the charger a bit and it turns off. Then the charger won't charge unless I unplug it and plug it back in, I'm going to assume it's a problem with the charger, but I'm not sure.

The port on my macbook has a few black spots, is this bad?

Lighting would be the most important thing when taking a photograph. The Magsafe Port on my Macbook is filthy but it still works. I do not have any black marks though.

Sorry about that, I'll retake it tomorrow when I have correct lighting (The room I'm in right now doesn't have much lighting, only a small desk lamp)

Ok, any ideas though?

Grime and other materials do get into the charging port quite easily. You would need another adapter for a much more thorough assessment beyond your current one.

All right, I'll head to best buy tomorrow and get another one and see if it does the same, then.

If it does, then will I have to send it into apple?

If they have in-store models, maybe you can convince (or sneak) an employee to let you test your notebook with the secured adapters.

Otherwise you might be looking at a logic board replacement in the worst case.

Really? Darn, hoping this isn't the case then.

I'll take it in tomorrow then.

If the computer actually turns off when knocked I am inclined to think it is a logic board problem. Your under warranty so they will fix it for you though.
