Use this guide to replace the charging port in your Lenovo ThinkPad T460 laptop.
The charging port (also called a DC-in cable) provides power to the laptop in the form of direct current (DC). If your battery fails to charge, or you need to wiggle the charging cable around to maintain a charge, the charging port may be failing.
Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.
