That's very impressive. I spent a while looking for a good laptop that fit all of my needs for work and couldn't find one that wasn't over $1,000 that had a Type C Charger. This is a great video, i may try this on a old laptop just to see if i can modernize it. Would it be possible to wire up one of these to add Type C Data transfer function to a laptop? Lets say i already added 1 to charge my laptop, can i use a separate one to swap out a USB A to USB C or where these only made for Power delivery?
Most 19V laptops can actually handle a 20V input without issue. Do your research, of course. You generally can't request 19V from a USB-C source as that is not usually a supported voltage.
@@myriadtechrepair1191 Thanks! I wonder if it would be possible to emulate Dell's 1wire protocol stuff somehow... they 'authenticate' chargers using it.
Nice job!, I also use a Lenovo laptop but as a desktop, so far (after 10 years of use) no problems with the barrel jack.

Thank so much! If you wanted to use the port for data as well, you would need some logic. Definitely a interesting idea.
Why didn't you buy a usb to type c voltage step down adapter
Don’t really need that in this instance. The laptop uses 19v input.
Do they make one that can be set to 19V?
