My MBP charger has stopped working, I've tried using it in a different plug socket, I've tried the extension thingy and I've even restarted the MBP to see if it makes any difference - nope!

I did the SMC reset and it doesn't make any difference. Usually the problem happens after 4-5 hours of use. Then I take the plug out of the socket and leave it for a while, plug it back in and then it works.

Is this just a faulty charger? If I fiddle with the wire when it is working then charging can be stopped so it does seem like there is a bit wrong with the wire.
