There is also the possibility that there may be a broken wire near the plug and by your manipulation you are forcing the wire to make contact. You can test this with a volt meter clipped to the plug. You then hold the plug still and wiggle the cable near it. If the is a break you will only get voltage readings in some positions.
I tested it with a volt meter, and I am pretty sure it is a problem with the wire. Would you know if there is a standardized replacement for the charging unit? Would any charger with the same socket size work?

Failing that, is there another quick fix?

Thanks.
