Powersupply intermittently faulty

I have a Macbook Air purchased early 2013. It works well and is still happy, but the power supply has become a little flaky.


About half the time I plug the magsafe in, the powersupply does not charge the Air. Which is to say, the amber or green light does not light, and the battery indicator says not charging. I can 'fix' this by wiggling the plug a few times, and it always, eventually, goes to work, but the frequency of recurrence is increasing. This is a concern.


Any advice?


Is it the power supply? Is there an obvious fix (tighten screw A), or is a new power supply a good idea?


Any advice welcomed.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

It probably needs cleaning. Refer to Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters.
