Hey, I'm experiencing some issues setting up a magsafe charger for my phone in my Vw up. Due to the cars original mount being limited to landscape mode I have 3D printed an adapter to fit a magsafe charger into. The printed part fits right in and the magsafe charger is safely secured to the mount. However, the magsafe charger does not seem to be communicating with USB port in the car correctly and the phone is not charging at all. I have tested the charger with a oneplus power adapter plugged into a wall outlet and it works fine. I have also tested with my laptop and it works fine while connected using the integrated usb-C cable that is attached to the magsafe charger. To use it in my car I connect it with a usb-A -> usb-C adapter that came with the magsafe charger. My first find was that the magsafe charger did not work with the usb-A adapter at all so I bought a 10GB/s adapter after I read on some forum that the type of adapter can be sensitive. However, that did not change anything. I looked up the technical spec for the USB connection in my car which classifies it as a "data" USB port. However, charging my phone with a USB-A -> USB-C cable works just fine. TLDR; 1. Magsafe Charger does work in my car (VW Up! 2018) 2. The Magsafe charger works fine everywhere else but the car 3. The USB-A port can charge my phone just fine using a regular USB-A -> USB-C cable 4. The Magsafe Charger has an integrated USB-C cable and is connected to the car with a tiny USB-C -> USB-A adapter 5. Replacing the "simple" adapter that came with the Magsafe charger to a 10GBps USB-C -> USB-A adapter does not work Any tip on how I could solve this? Anyone with similar experiences? My best guess is that it's just the magsafe charger that needs to be replaced for another variant although I have no idea what to look for since I can't find the root of the issue.

So I have this 100w powerbank that I bought three months ago and when I try to charge my Lenovo legion go (basically steam deck) nothing happens, and when I try to charge the powerbank nothing happens but if i charge my phone (with same port on powerbank) it charges, I use usbc to usbc when charging lenovo legion go and charging powerbank and usbc to lightning when charging phone so I though the cable was the problem, so I bought a new cable and it still doesn't work, when I use the cable for other things it works. It stopped working after I put the powerbank in the car for a few hours plugged in to the car and when I came back the issue I described started. Any idea to what it can be?

I received a Lenovo ideapad touch and it came almost fully charged and completely functional i even installed pop is and then instead installed windows. It did not come with a charger so I bought a Lenovo charger for my specific laptop. By the time I got the charger in the mail it had died originally it blinked to tell me it was dead now it’s too dead to even do that. When I plug in the charger it doesn’t work I tried replacing the charging port and still nothing any ideas?

Hey there, hope you're having a good day! I definitely had not, but let me give you the situation first: I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 that has been opened up before (Battery replacement). Therefore it was not watertight anymore and I got it liquid damaged. I dried it completely, discovered that some parts of the motherboard were corroded and wrote that off. On a local site for used items I bought a Note 9 that had its front and back glass completely shattered but worked fine all other ways. I took the motherboard and battery of that and put it into my phone, which worked perfectly for an evening, charged perfectly normal for one night and now does not anymore. (Using Ampere) It shows me that its discharging about (-) 200-220 mA, but when plugged in only gains 100-160 mA but stays very consistantly at 150mA for the most. When opening Ampere for the first time, it showed ~600mA, but quickly dropped to the aforementioned values. I use an Anker 25W Dual Port Charger (12,5W per device). I immediately thought of two things: further corrosion on the old parts (i only replaced the motherboard and the battery) or a mistake on my part putting it together. While both would be possible, it did work perfectly for a night so..?? Anyway, I replaced the charging port with the one from the "broken" phone i had bought as well as the battery with a brand new one. Same thing, ~150mA when charging. What I also noticed was that the wireless charging didn't work since the first repair. I thought the contact pads (no connector, its just Pads pressed onto the MoBo) were corroded from the water too, but I changed the coil and therefore the contact pads to the one from the "broken" phone which also looked very clean and the receiving pins on the mobo were changed with the MoBo anyway. When placing my phone on the wireless charger, it detects it but flashes, meaning it cannot charge. (Also, while writing this, Ampere showed "cold" (plugged in, but not charging) for a few seconds, but it went back to charging ~450mA and then quickly down to 150-220mA again). Now, what could be causing this? With some googling, it seems like most Samsung phones like do just stop cahrging, but I have not found a "charging, but not gaining battery percentage"-problem like mine yet. What could be causing this issue? What more could I try to fix it? Thank you for your help and time! -Jonathan from Germany

My Thinkpad p1 gen 2’s keyboard has been acting up with certain keys not working. I attempted to fix this by removing the motherboard and trying to troubleshoot the keyboard. After doing so and reassembling the whole motherboard and plugging in all ribbon cables I tried to plug it in and turn it on. There is a battery charge indicator light which did not show any light and the laptop does not turn on. I’ve read that you might have to press the bottom reset button down for 30 seconds for it to charge, but the hasn’t done anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, I've noticed a slight decrease in charging current for my 8s LiFePO4 battery after around 7 charge cycles. The charger used to deliver 1.48A, but now it charges at around 1.45A. I'm wondering if this is a cause for concern. Could this be an issue with the charger or potentially a problem with the battery? Additional info- my charger only charges my battery upto 90% soc and then cuts off the charge hence while it might be good for the battery health, my battery is prone to disbalancing issues since some bms tend to balance the cells only when the battery is fully charged, so do let me know if that is related to this issue. I use it on my ebike so it(the battery) goes through consistent shocks and tremors and rough use. Any insights or suggestions on diagnosing the situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

I know for a fact that macbooks around/before 2016 might have had a usb short circuit protection because I've seen these images online- and heard stories where people have connected Faulty/shorted USB-A cables to their macbooks which resulted in one of 3 things- 1.) USB port getting temporarily disabled until the cable is removed 2.) Macbook temporarily shutting down until battery cable is removed and re-attached 3.) Macbook logic board burning I would like to know if the above protection features still hold true for usb c macbooks. I specifically have a macbook pro 13 inch 2020. I would like to know what could happen if someone accidentally attaches a shorted usb c charging cable where the pins of the USB c interface are shorted with each other.....(can actually happen because they're only 0.5mm apart) into the modern (post 2017) macbooks. -Will the charging port disable until cable is removed? -Will the macbook disable until battery is removed and reconnected? -Will the logic board say bye to its owner? I would also like to know what additional protection macbooks have against similar possibilities, for eg. Short circuit is basically over current flow, what protection do macbooks have against, say.....over voltage, what if someone applies a voltage higher than normal at the USB c charging port. I'm asking all this stuff because not a lot of information is available about this in the public domain...so only people who tinker with Macs on a daily basis would be able to answer my questions. Thanks for helping me out and curing my curiosity!

bought a 200W GaN USB C Wall Charger with a SooPii 100W USB C to USB C Cable to charge my XPS 15 7950 using USB C (Thunderbolt 3). but it only "holds" the battery, as it sees it as a 65W charger. I suspect the problem to be the cable, even tho its supposed to be able to charge up to 100W, please help. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0B53BFFGY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09V82LKK3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

just like the title say is it bad if I charge my phone 10-20% percent here and there? does charging multiple time cause wear on the battery or not? or is it based on how many percent? I just bought a s22 ultra and want to take care of the battery so it last a long time.

Hoping to find some experts on the matter... Basically i got this 4-7 years old Lenovo thinkpad e450 laptop with windows 8.1 on it, tried to backup some files that were saved on it and then reset it to factory settings. While messing around with it i noticed that even while the charger was connected for some moments the laptop wouldnt recognize the charger, thus no power was delivered. I shrugged it off since it happened only twice and just for couple minutes... later on i noticed that it happened again but this time more than just a couple of minutes passed and no power input was detected. Ive tried going to the device manager window and then deleting the battery devices under the "Batteries" section, the laptop's display went brighter (as it does when its connected to power) and thought thats probably it... restarted the laptop, again doesnt charge and again im deleting the battery from the devices manager. After a while the laptop turned off and i couldnt power it on anymore. Ive read about it and found out that this problem was quite common on windows 8 (also other versions) but couldnt find a defenetive answear. Does anybody know what to do at this kind of state? Thanks for your time...

Hi, I am a recent s22 owner and I am fascinated by what bixby routines can achieve and to make your phone more personalised. The title is the main question but I can provide more details about it. I am intending to create a bixby routine which triggers MIDWAY through charging to toggle the setting from super fast charging to fast charging. I have a Samsung 25W charging brick so there will be an electrical change when I toggle the setting and I'm wondering if doing so while plugged in and charging will cause an error or damage any components? For completeness, could you also answer for the fast charging to super fast charging situation too? Thanks, Squirtl3

I had this motherboard for about a year now and never had this problem. But every time I plug in a device like my oculus quest, switch, or phone it will charge it very slowly. For an example right now if I plug in my phone which is at 4% battery life it says it will take around 32 hours for it to get to full. Data transfer speeds seem fine, and other devices like my microphone appears to be working the same. Things I have tried: tried using 3.0 ports and 2.0 3 different cords, which all work fine w/ a wall out let. back IO and front IO. Turned off "allow computer to turn off device" in device manager. my wifi card: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084JPFKQ5/ref=emc_b_5_t uses a usb port on the motherboard to have Bluetooth support, i unplugged that. unplugged devices Mother board: https://www.newegg.com/msi-b450m-pro-m2-max/p/N82E16813144271?Item=N82E16813144271 psu: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cx-series-cx750-cp-9020123-na-750w/p/N82E16817139199 Any ideas on how to fix it will be GREATLY appreciated

I have an acer aspire a315-31. The charging port was loose and the laptop was not charging. I replaced the port, but now, when I plug the charger a "tik" sound can be heard and the laptop don't charge. The charging light is flashing, but not in the "discharged battery" way. It's flashing at the same time as with that tiking sound. (for me it sounds like a short circuit). What can I do?

Hi, I’m currently waiting on my new 16” MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip arriving. I’m slightly concerned that the supplied 140W charger will degrade the battery faster and with intense workflows likely draining the battery within a few hours I would need to charge the MacBook more often. Does anyone have any input on if it’s worth going and buying either an Apple (or alternative brand) lower wattage power adapter to charge the laptop? Usually I’d just run with what’s in the box but I plan on keeping this laptop for as long as physically possible so I’d like to keep the battery in good health for as long as possible. I was thinking maybe the 96W Apple power adapter or maybe even the 67W version (if that would charge the 16” model). Thoughts? thanks in advance

Hello everyone, Lately have been noticing my laptop battery life to drop instantly after charging, I noticed it charges from 0% - 17% normally and then charges to 100% instantly, after charging to a 100% I only get a backup for like 20 minutes. Checked and verified this for multiple cycles. Any idea what this could be? I've updated Windows 11 and all the drivers.

I forgot my charger at home, so i went looking for alternative ways to charge my laptop. Lets get to the problem.. I got a bright idea: My phone can charge from USB-C cant laptops aswell? i quickly googled: HP Laptops can chargw from USB-C, i tried and it worked. But only when 100% powered off, After POST (After leaving the bios) it would stop charging. This problem is only with USB-C, But i havent tried with the standard AC as i forgot it at home. But then it stopped charging from USB-C after running out of battery after one charge. i began googling found it can blow capitors in the pc with low-wattage usb-c, But then i found HP says its fine: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/3-different-ways-to-charge-laptop-without-charger TLDR: Is it bad to charge hp probook g7 with a low wattage USB-C (can i blow the capitors)? or is hp correct or did hp mean that i needed a power brick? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/3-different-ways-to-charge-laptop-without-charger

Hi everyone! I need help on this strange situation with my laptop (hp 15s). When the charger is plugged in, the temperature goes up to 50/60 degrees celsius even when doing small tasks, (even tried removing battery but still does the same). Today i tried to monitor the cpu/gpu usage and it seems that when plugged in, the gpu usage goes down by 10% but when i unplug the laptop it goes back up. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!

I recently got a Nokia Lumia 2520 from a second-hand market (i know it's pretty old but it's what I needed, eheh) but now I got a big issue: The battery seems to not charge. I tried with the tab turned on and off too but nothing seems to work, it works only with the power brick inserted and Windows telss me constantly "plugged in but not charging" while stuck at 0%. The battery seems to OK (not faulty) since it doesn't say "battery missing" or "non detected" but still there's no way to charge it. I tried the trick of resetting battery drivers in Windows but it didn't work, I dunno if I did something wrong. Someone has a solution, please?
