Why doesn't my battery charge unless I push really hard?

My Battery Won't Charge Unless I Push Really Hard

I have a tablet I was using one morning and I had to bend the cord for it to work now I have to push really hard for it to work. I tried to see if it was the cable but it wasn't because it worked with other devices,

The charging port became unsoldered. If you don't get it fixed, each time you push the cable and each time you relax it, you make a spark, carbonizing the board it's on. Eventually enough of the board will be carbonized that the repair becomes expensive (it needs a new board as well as a new connector). Get it fixed while there's still enough board left to save money on replacing it.
