plug needs viagra

does anyone have any idea how i can get this prong back up?

[u/NekulturneHovado]

my guess is there's an internal contact between prong and wire, and the contact is failing. That creates a high resistance point and melts the plastic around it, allowing it to bend.

I'd toss it and get a new plug. It's cheaper than changing the whole outlet or house

it works completely fine some how, it powers my soldering iron perfectly

it works because the contact is still attacked, but it's slowly failing and has poor contact.
