Default Storm not charging correctly (please reply asap)

Please help guys.

So my storm is charging whenever it wants to. I have tried different chargers and stuff. So when I plug my charger in the phone the clock appears and I do see the thunder bold. But after 10 seconds the thunder bold goes away and then comes back again and again. Which is causing to decharging my battery somehow.

For some reason, If I put the charging cable in a curtain way (like wrapping it around the phone) the thunder bold stays and it is charging normally. So this is making me believe that it is the charging port and not the battery ??

It is not the software cause I've updated my phone three times so far without any problem.

So the only problem is it isn't charging all the time. I don't think this is the battery but I'm thinking it's the usb (charging) port.

What do you guys think ? I already bought a usb port on ebay which I will get next week or so but I'm still worried that I t might be the battery instead of the usb.

That's what I'm thinking as well. It can't be the battery at this point right ?
