Hello,
I have an MSI GL73 8RC-236XFR laptop.
It has a USB Type-C 3.1 Gen1 port.
I would like to know if it is possible to charge my laptop with a phone charger?
I just tried a regular cable that I use to charge my smartphone and it doesn't work. The laptop doesn’t show the little icon next to the clock indicating that it is charging.
Could someone inform me about the possibility (or not) of charging my laptop via USB-C and with which charger, please?
Thank you :)

    Hello
    A laptop like the MSI has a specific port for charging with the charger that comes with it.
    You cannot use the USB ports to charge the laptop itself.
    These USB ports are only used to charge other devices such as a smartphone, etc...

    Hello,

    It doesn't seem possible on this model. It's worth noting that on the PCs where it works, a certain level of power is still required, not sure that just any smartphone charger would be sufficient.

    Best regards.
