Hi, I've recently purchased a Acer Spin 3 model: N19W2 and I was wondering if it is possible to charge the laptop using the USB-C port on the side, so far I have used every USB-C phone charger I have and none of them would trigger the charging indicator light when plugged in. Am I using the wrong type of USB-C charger or does the laptop not support USB-C charging?

 [Edited the thread to add model name to the title]

    You don't say what model Swift you have. It should be something like SF3xx-xx & is located on the sticker on the underside of the laptop. If you download the manual from the Acer site it will tell you the capabilities of the USB ports.

    Since you have only recently purchased it, it is likely that it will support USB charging. The USB Type C port will have a lightning symbol beside it. Generally, phone chargers will not work. You usually need a charger that delivers 20V and 65W although some will work with 45W.
