You must find the right barrel jack to USB-C converter for your laptop that has the same voltage marked. Do not buy any random one to avoid potentially damaging your laptop due to different laptop voltages. Most laptops support between 18V-20V. Look on the back of your laptop and confirm the voltage with the adapter you are purchasing. The USB-C adapter internals my look different to mine so please bear that in mind. 2. You must use a USB-C Charger that is equal to or more than the wattage of your original charger (which is typically more than 65W). You cannot use a typical phone charger to charge your laptop because it does not have enough power. You must use a USB-C to C cable that supports charging, and not USB-A to C. 3. Be sure to properly protect any bare wires or pads with heatshrink, glue or tape. You do not want any electrical hazards here nor airport customs to annoy you for your dodgy laptop. Do it right the first time. Do not use hot glue, it will melt from the heat while charging. 0:00 - The Problem - Bulky Chargers. 0:25 - The Solution - USB-C Adapter (Easy Way and Hard Way) 0:52 - The Plan - Hard Way 3:08 - The Result Follow me on Twitter and Subscribe: #laptop #hacks #joegaz Background Music: Thank you to () for making the amazing remixed classical tracks (Bach and others) -
