I had a brand new cable that came with my phone that did similar. I would try another or get a new cable before I did anything else. First rule of troubleshooting - try the easiest and least expensive things first.
My son had a PC laptop that did this also, and we later found that the fine cable about an inch form where it plus into the machine had broken inside the insulation. Too much bending at that location.
It can do damage to the device if not repaired.
