Why won't my zte zmax z970 hold a charge?

[AC Question]

I'm having a difficult time just trying to charge my phone. Unless i'm physically holding the charge cord in my phone at an odd angle, it does absolutely nothing, if i try to let go, my phone starts going crazy with charge sound and low battery. I have no idea what to do, and i'm getting frustrated.

I would try to get a new cord.
