Hi,
I have the new Hp Envy 13 clamshell (13-ba-0xxx) and whenever I charge via USB-C instead of the barrel plug power supply, the laptop will crash. I've used USB-C chargers from my Macbooks and chargers from Anker. In every case, the laptop crashes after a few minutes with a black screen and inability to wake up with out a hard reboot (hold power for several seconds). If I switch back to the barrel plug charger, it's fine, but the laptop is supposed to charge via USB-C, and I was counting on it for my use. Any idea what's going on here? Should I replace the laptop?
Thanks!

What is your Hp Envy 13 clamshell (13-ba-0xxx) ?

Are you trying to kill your machine by using third party products ? Please ONLY use compatible products from HP (or approved by HP).
Regards.

Does that mean that, unlike my phone, my Mac, my headphones, and my other devices, HP doesn't allow for charging via standard USB-C chargers? Every other device I have lets me use any charger I have (some don't even have a charger and recommend I use my own).
If that's the case, ok, but that's decidedly a non-standard approach relative to the entire rest of the industry.
Thanks,
Dan.
