Type C Charger Lockout *rage*

[MattZ2918]

I bought this laptop because of the Type C charging.  The Type C connector on the supplied power adapter is broken.

I purchased a Type C charger and Type C cable to find out HP locked them out.

What is the point in having Type C to charge if you are restricted to HPs adapter?

So I spend $60 on HPs very low quality charger to have it break again? 

Is there a hack around this? I want to use my own charger with my own higher quality cable. Duh

I realize it charges powered off. That's obviously not sufficient. 

If HP refuses to resolve this very simple issue. Then I will just throw this in the trash and go back to Dell.  Amusing thing even if HP releases a bios update to fix this issue. You can't install it without the factory power adapter. 

Thanks

Well, that was a waste of time. 

Threw the laptop in the trash. I refuse to give HP money for a Type C charger when they purposely locked out all other Type C chargers. I refuse to buy another Type C charger from HP that will just break at the plug a few months later. 

Goodbye HP, never again.

Why not send me a replacement charger? Why make me spend $50 on something that costs you $5? Especially when i'm unhappy and the device broke because it's just poor quality? 

Also, you plan to sell this charger for the next 20 years? No I can barely find a new one on Ebay.
