Problematic USB-C charging port in 2017 MacBook

If the plug gets jostled at all, it often stops charging. If I unplug it and replug it, it often fails to connect. (I am basically treating it as a desktop at this point). Can the charging port be repaired without replacing the motherboard?.

MacBook, macOS 13.5

Possibly. The only way to get a conclusive answer it to have Apple evaluate your Mac: Official Apple Support


In the meantime try a different USB-C cable, if you haven't already.
