I took my Thinkpad to a repair shop because its charging port was damaged. A very stoic human pointed out to me it has *two* identical ones, USB-C type, right next to each other.
- blindfolded_go 2y agoHaha, I have done this too! Glad I am not alone.
- dizhn 2y agoI am confused. Does only one of them support charging? (I've got one where both can charge, though they don't look the same because one is also thunderbolt)
- mlry 2y agoI think this is their point given this threads question for a humbling learning moment. Both ports support charging but it took someone from outside to get OPs fixed mind off their habitual notion that only a specific port could charge. They did not even try that other port.
- Izkata 2y agoThe leftmost one is the normal charging port: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/7fidd0/reminder_lenovo_will_introduce_a_new/ https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/7fidd0/reminder_l... The second one is a different design with a different icon. Not clear at all.
- bombcar 2y agoIIRC there was a MacBook with two USB-C ports where both could charge, but it would run significantly hotter (and throttle sooner) if the "wrong" one was used.
- tradertef 2y agoHaha.. I had exactly the same issue. To be fair, the other port is a little hidden since it is also part of a proprietary docking station port.
