This is the second time my laptop has refused to charge via it’s USB-C port. Perhaps some sort of static discharge causing the circuit to protect itself? Here is the solution that’s worked for me:
- Remove all cables attached to the laptop (hdmi, external mouse/keyboard, etc)
- Ensure device is switched OFF
- Keep the AC adapter connected to the laptop, but disconnected from the wall socket Important
- Hold down power button for 60 seconds
- Re-attach all cables
- Connect the AC Adapter, then let the device charge for about 2 minutes (if it does) then start up as usual.
- Try it a couple of times (2-3)
