My charging port is broken and it wont charge unless I hold it furmly in, but that brakes the charger and I don't want to sell it because I've barely used it what do I do?

Seems like a simple mechanical problem to me.

First suspect, BAD CHARGING CABLE. Fix: Re-solder plug or buy new charger.

Second suspect, DUST BUNNY IN JACK. Fix: Clean.

Last suspect, BROKEN JACK. This one needs professional intervention.
