Loose pins in that socket sounds like the problem. Not too hard to tighten up the pins with a small pick or screwdriver. But be very aware there are some pretty high voltages present. You need to first make sure there is no voltage on the pins. It's a simple fix but if you are afraid let someone who knows electronics do it for you. Or they could replace the socket itself.
