Happened to me too once. Since i put a spring on the cable. I've seen people doing it for the iphone charger (http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--WoIhYjfz...) so i tried on my power adapter cable and it works like a charm!

The problem can also happen on the other end of the wire, on the adapter end.

Do you know what the tension for the spring? Would think it requires a good amount of tension to avoid too much angle movement. And what's a good place to get the spring?

Well i just used a spring from a ballpoint pen. It did the trick for me.
