Hi ! My new laptop HP 15s-2143EQ has a C-type port, which I currently use for data transfer. I am curious as if I can use this port for charging as well ? I did not receive any USB-C Charger with my package. The specifications are -

Hi @Yash-Jain 

 

I can't find information on your specific model, and the specifications you provided are not available to me. Specifications for similar models show only 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® port with 5Gbps signaling rate, and you would not be able to charge the computer with that port.

 

You can double check the icon printed next to the Type-C port on your computer. If it has charging capability, it would show a power icon similar to what I've highlighted in yellow in the attached image.

Hi ! 

Thank you for the reply. I checked on my laptop, and there is no charging icon around the C port. So I guess I cannot use it as a charging port. 

 

Thank you for the information !
