Librem 5 charging connected to PC only

[dos]

@irvinewade

Charging from a PC will generally work - but incredibly slowly because power source and power destination will just negotiate standard USB power (max 500 mA; 5V)

Many PC USB ports these days are CDP that can supply up to 1.5A, and the Librem 5 will use that. 500mA limit applies to SDP.

(If you use any random charger or power bank then it is a bit of a roll of the dice as to whether it works. The power source is expected to support USB-C PD 3.0.)

Any PD 2.0-compliant 15W USB-C charger is supposed to work and let the Librem 5 charge at full speed. If it does not, there’s either a bug somewhere, it’s non-compliant or something’s broken.

It’s more complicated with peripherals like hubs that pass power through because of the way these devices reserve power for their own operation.

Now I can only charge from my PC but any charger or power bank, nothing happens.

Are you using USB-A or USB-C ports?
