I'm sure the problem is due to the charger connector being broken. It's also possible that the replacement charger you got is not 100% compatible with your computer.

I don't think there's any such thing as a "CMOS button" on a laptop, and anyway I doubt that it would cure this problem, because this sounds like a problem which almost certainly is caused by something that is physically broken.

I know you can't afford to fix your laptop - but you also can't afford to be without it, and your fiddling and wiggle can only make the problem worse. I suggest you seriously consider getting it fixed anyway - try a small local mom & pop repair place instead of a big place like Best Buy; it'll be cheaper for sure.
