About how old is the laptop? A common occurrence in older model laptops is the charge port becoming dislodged from the internal motherboard. The only real option you have, if this is the case, would be to back up your data with an external hard drive, and buy a new machine. If you do not have an external hard drive, but have access to another computer, then there is another option for data backup. Remove the hard drive from the laptop, buy an external enclosure (You can buy enclosures from your local Best Buy, MicroCenter, or electronics store) that fits your hard drive model, and transfer the data to the extra computer you CAN access.
However; if the laptop is fairly new, and the charge port doesn't wiggle or move at all (An indication of the piece becoming dislodged), then the problem could lie in the power adapter itself. Try purchasing a notebook AC adapter from an online site like Newegg.com or TigerDirect.com. They come with multiple attachments to fit a plethora of different devices, including a wide range of laptops
