To charge your Dell Chromebook, simply use the provided USB Type-C charger and follow these steps:
- Plug one end of the USB Type-C cable into the plug adapter (the part that goes into the wall).
- Plug the other end of the USB Type-C cable into one of the USB Type-C ports on your Chromebook.
- Plug the plug adapter into a working power outlet.
Once connected, your Chromebook should begin charging automatically. You can usually see a charging indicator light or an icon on the screen indicating that it's receiving power.
Important Considerations:
-
USB-C Ports: Dell Chromebooks typically have one or more USB-C ports. You can use either port to charge the device.
-
Power Source: Ensure the wall outlet you are using is functioning correctly. Try a different outlet if your Chromebook isn't charging.
-
Power Settings (Potentially): While usually automatic, some Chromebooks might allow you to specify the preferred USB-C port for charging in the settings. You can check this by:
- Clicking the Time in the bottom right corner of your screen.
- Clicking Settings.
- Clicking Power.
- Look for options related to USB-C port behavior.
-
Alternative Charging: While the USB-C charger is recommended, some older Chromebook models might also support charging via a barrel connector. If your device has one, you can use the corresponding Dell charger. However, this is less common with modern Chromebooks.
-
Non-Dell USB-C Chargers: In a pinch, you can try using another USB-C charger. However, to ensure optimal charging speed and prevent potential damage, it is always best to use the original Dell charger specifically designed for your Chromebook model. Confirm the voltage and amperage are compatible.
Following these steps will ensure your Dell Chromebook is charged correctly and efficiently.
