So yesterday my Anker 100W charger died on the second use, so I bought another one, this time by Teknet (also 100W) which arrived today. Straight out of the box I plug it into my FW 13 and got nothing. Tried it on my phone, still nothing.

I made a post yesterday asking if I could use a 20W iPhone charger temporarily as long as I wasn’t using the laptop at the time. I’m doing that and it’s working, so I’m confident the laptop is ok.

Are chargers from Amazon just bad? Is this just a coincidence that I’ve had two broken ones so close together? Or is destiny trying to prevent me using my new laptop?

    I’m in UK. I agree with Teknet being a bit unheard of, but reviews were very good. I was more surprised about the Anker failing yesterday as I’ve heard good things about them

      Actual reviews or Amazon reviews? Amazon reviews are often just bought off or botted by a bunch of those no name Chinese brands that pop up on Amazon.
