Need some ideas because I'm not sure where to go from here. I have a Compaq Presario V4000T that when plugged in, won't charge the batt. It did boot up when the batt had a charge so I know it works otherwise.

Things I've tried:
-Bought a new ac adaptor from hp, this did not work.
-Disassembled the laptop to see if the power connection point was loose. However it was still firmly soldered on the board.
-Attempted to "straighten" the pin inside the connector.

I figured it was the adaptor for sure but buying a new one did not solve the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

I've already tried two adaptors, one new. Neither work.

Motherboard seems fine as it booted up when the batt had a charge.
