Lenovo power brick bricked
Ok, so this one will be really fast. My Lenovo PowerBrick (ADL170SDC3A) for Legion 5-15ARH is bricked. It died few days ago and I had to use my old 65W charger added to some old, random, Lenovo Yoga.
BUT it was still discharging battery while using this laptop, so it wasn't too nice experience. Also Lenovo didn't gave me opportunity to use USB type C to use my PD chargers ... But years ago I had Lenovo W530 with another Lenovo 170W power brick. Solid, BIG, heavy one.
What if... I cut both cables that should connect laptop and charger and swap them? So i have square connector (with its PinID) on the old charger. Which also delivers 20V@8,5A (so 170W same on both ones).
You cannot imagine ;-) but now I have a bit bigger power brick with the same wattage, longer cable and ... doesn't have to buy a new charger. Win for my laptop (its charged), Win for me (didn't pay for new one), Lose for Lenovo (who cares for bigCorp).
So I have a big Win here.
Have a nice day
