Hello.
Having recently moved back to the family home, a problem quickly arose: there are no grounded outlets available to plug in my computer.
I have an "ASUS Power Supply Port Connect" charger, which doesn't have a "hole" for a ground plug, and I was wondering if it is dangerous to plug it into an ungrounded outlet.
Not finding any answers, I am turning to you for help.

    Hello.

    Could you please send a picture of the charger plug?

    If you see a square within a square on the charger's labels, it means it's Class 2 and does not require grounding.

    Otherwise, if your title is correct, there's no need to stress.

    As you said, there is a square within a square, so that seems correct.
    To be honest, I'm stressing over this out of fear of a problem, even though the answer seems logical to me.

      So no worries, this charger is deliberately ungrounded.
      It is designed to operate this way.

      No need to worry.
