Hi, my ac charging port is damaged and I'm wondering, is it possible to charge the battery via the USB-C port?

Greetings

It is not likely to work, but you can try if you are willing to take the risk of damaging the USB Type-C port.

 

I would replace the DC input jack. It is a plug in replacement part.

 

Maintenance & Service guide (for parts reference) See chapter 3, page 18, item 7

Hi Erico,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I didnt mean to use the same charger on the USB-C port, but to buy a new dedicated USB-C charger. Would that work instead of replacing the internal cabling?

That would not change the risk you would take.

 

Replacing the DC-in port (with included cable connector) would be the better option.

 

There are many PC/Laptop shops in the Netherlands that can do this for you at reasonable prices. 

 

I know that because I lived in the most northern part of the Netherlands for sixteen years.

Ok. Before I open up Pandora's box, isnt there a way to know for sure that it is possible to charge via USB-C? Is it somewhere noted in the specs? (couldnt find it so far).

HP Recommended

HP does not say it is possible if it is not.

 

Your USB  Type-C port does not have the required specifications. 

 

The requirements are Thunderbolt and sleep and charge.

 

I do not see it as being worth the risk of purchasing and plugging in a dedicated 65 Watt USB Type-C power adapter.  That could  cause some damage.

It actually worked! I bought the replacement DC-in cable via Amazn and I replaced it myself with the instruction of the video and it solved the problem. Thanks a lot!!

HP Recommended

Great!

 

I am glad to hear that it was simpler for you to do it than you thought.

 

I am pleased to have been able to help you resolve the issue.
