4 years isn't a bad lifetime for a laptop PSU. I know I kill the cables on mine way before the 4 year mark.

- ekianjo 6y agoThe PSU itself is supposed to last way longer though... Never had a laptop PSU die on me until the laptop actually dies first for unrelated reasons.
- ashtonkem 6y agoOne of the underrated facts of USB-PD; replaceable cables. No need to replace the brick if the insulation frays.
- rconti 6y agoI don't get what people are doing to break PSUs or cables. I've never fried a laptop PSU nor destroyed a cable in, whatever, 2 decades of laptops? I am willing to accept that cables can get damaged, but I don't think a PSU outright failing is something we should accept as "normal". Unlike cables, their longevity shouldn't be related to physical handling.
