... a simple test of this condition is jiggle the plug on the computer
end while it is inserted into the laptop and watch to see if it
switches between battery and ac power.

Well that is a tip-off for sure. But if it doesn't, it doesn't mean it
isn't the jack itself or the solder connections to the board. As
sometimes the jack can break (and it is still can be solid as a rock) or
a solder connection or something... and no amount of wiggling will make
it work for some of them.
