How to charge a laptop via USB?

Solved

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to power a laptop through a USB port
I mean, instead of using the plug on the laptop, I connect the adapter (charger) to a USB port on the laptop
Some time ago, I had an issue with the socket on the laptop (HP Pavilion zv 5000); the adapter plug didn't fit well into the female socket on the laptop (the one attached to the motherboard), but it was not getting power. I repaired it and it worked for 3 weeks, then the same problem happened again
So I'm wondering if I can power my laptop through a USB port (feed power through the USB port) to avoid having the same issue again
ThanksConfiguration: Windows Vista

    Nothing on the laptop recognizes the USBs as "electricity in" but only as "out," except on recent Macs with USB-C, so no, you won't be able to...

    EDIT: However, there are external batteries that can charge laptops: https://www.amazon.fr/MAXOAK-50000mAh-capacit%C3%A9-Batterie-ordinateur/dp/B00YP823NA

    You shouldn't treat people like fools,
    But you must never forget that they are.

      Ok, thanks qwerty for your reply (very quick, thank you very much)
      But manufacturers should think about this, it's very practical, I find that only one universal charger for all phones is simple, but I think their financial interest doesn't align with that
      Thanks again

        Indeed, what's more, what a space saver, we would have 8 sockets for the same size as one current one!
        But indeed their financial interest lies elsewhere, even if some are trying USB products.
