    We're going to need to know more about the laptop. Which model is it specifically? It should be something like SF3xx-xxx-xxxx. Once I know that I can potentially look up the specs on the USB-C port to see if it supports charging.

    OK, the specs for the SF314-52 models do not show charging through that USB-C port. In addition the labeling beside the port doesn't show the DC power symbol. That means the Acer marketing folks either decided to leave it out (and since it's a USB-C gen 1 port it's typically left out by default) or put it in but don't think it's a sales feature. If you have access to a USB-C charger for testing without purchasing one of your own it would need to be 20V and 45W...
