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?

    Sounds like your charging port might be killing power adapters…what happened to the 65w charger that came with your framework?

      I got mine as a DIY kit, and decided to buy RAM, SSD and power adapter separately, which means I don’t have a FW power adapter. I’m now questioning my life choices, and probably just going to buy a FW one
