My macbook only charges under certain angles which makes it impossible to use now… i was wondering if my dc in is the problem, and if i change it i would get any more life out of this macbook cause its still usable for me?
Ive added pics of DC in and my charger which i bought last year and is original

It looks like the cord magnets are still stuck within the systems side connection. If you look at the DC In-Board part you can see the face is smooth along the connectors surface (plastic) and doesn't have these four? magnet pieces stuck to them.
Carefully lift them off (currently stuck magnetically) or just replace the DC In-Board it does look like iFixit is out of stock here's a second source Unibody MacBook Pro 13"/15" DC-in/Magsafe Board (09-12)

oh, so the dc in might be still usable? how would i go about lifting these magnet pieces? just to be clear, by four magnet pices you mean the 4 yellow pins that are in the charging port of my macbook?
@rokurbanija - No it's not the yellow (gold) pins they are AOK! It's the metal blocks that surround the five pin pads in the plastic block within the systems connection hollow.
The best way to ID is use a steel paperclip which is attracted by a magnet. Touch the surfaces surrounding the the plastic block.
You may find it easier taking the part out to remove the magnets MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2012 MagSafe DC-In Board Replacement
