Hey everyone. So I have a question about the PD over USB-C for the Legion 5iPro (12700/3070ti). I am using an Anker GAND Prime 120W Block with a 240W USB-C Cable. Plugged directly into the laptop, the laptop wont charge, but if I plug it into my USB-C Anker HUB that does support USB-C PD Passthrough up to 100W, it works?
Do you think maybe the laptop has a cut off of 100W max where it wont charge or anything if it senses the block is outputting more than 100W? (I have dug around and seen where it supports a max of 100W via USB-C PD but cant see anywhere if its a smart system where it would still work with a block that can provide more than 100W)
Just wanna pick your brains here about this.
*Note - It works fine if its plugged into the 100W GAND Prime block.... I just cant find it at the moment and the 120W block was 30 dollars cheaper than the 100W block... for.. reasons?
*Note Note - I have yet to try it with my 100W USB-C cable I had used in the past with the new block.
