Hi, I have a laptop that has a completely depleted battery so won't power up for me. I have a broken power adapter which I need to get a replacement for. Meanwhile I have a USB c cable that I have tried using instead to charge. The laptop is completely dead and the USB c cable doesn't seem to work at all. I have tried several different cables. Anything else I can try in the meantime until I get my replacement adapter? Thanks.
