My MacBook stopped charging, could someone examine this?

My MacBook stopped charging. I switched parts and tried cleaning it too. Eventually I tracked down the problem to this part:

I'm a little suspicious of it's end, since it doesn't look like the other (working) charger's.

Looks like 2 of the five contacts are pushed down. With it unplugged from powers use some denatured alcohol on a q-tip to clean it up as best you can. Then see if by pushing down on them you can get then to come back up. Also clean the mag safe socket on the computer. If this does not work you'll need to get a new one.
