Anytime I move my computer, the charger disconnects. It is annoying because it will connect and disconnect making my screen so black for a second each time. So I can't even use my computer when the charger is messing up. Does anyone know how to fix the charger/ change the settings so m computer screen doesn't go black each time my charger connects or disconnects?
 
Is it under warranty? Might be a bad DC plug that is losing connection. You can also go into the UAC and set the slider down one notch, and it won't darken the screen with system changes.
 
Other than changing power plan options in the control panel, I think you should have the system inspected. If it's not the barrel that inserts into the laptop, then like scottie said: the jack could be faulty.
