Barrel connector replacement or repair - cel - 08-15-2019

Hi Forum,
The power cable for my Pinebook 1080P is not working great. It now only works when I apply pressure to the barrel connector at an angle andĀ hold it in place with something.
I'm thinking of getting a replacement:

But I'm concerned it might start having the same problem. Has anyone tried getting or using a power cable from another source for their Pinebook, that might be more durable? Or repaired their cable that had this issue?
