Solved! Laptop charger reconnects/disconnects itself

I have an acer predator Helios 300 and I got it about a year ago. My laptop charger disconnects and reconnects every few seconds when I play a game. I took it to the service center and I was told that there's a problem with the motherboard and that I'd have to replace it. Is there any way to fix it? I can't afford to replace the motherboard. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There may be a way to fix it, but if you are asking it's not likely you will be able to do it. Soldering on a new power jack should fix it.
