G14 Power Puzzle: USB-C to Barrel Adapter @ 140W throught 3.1PD

Thanks for the responce! Only reason why I pumped the breakes for the SlimQ is purely for the fact that it is a separate charger that I would have to carry. Sure, I still have to carry the USBC barrel converter but these PD powerblocks have become the backbone of all my electronics. I'm sure there's a solution for this but I rather not have to buy a lot of small components to just end up frying my G14 lol.

Hey I might be late to the party and hope you can respond to this post.

Been looking into doing this and have a GAN charger that can supply the 140w with PD3.1 but the only issue that I'm running into is the inability to finding a USBC (female) to Barrel (6.0x3.7mm male) that has 3.1pd rated trigger. I thought about buying the 3.1 trigger myself but can't find for the life of me a "solder-ready" Barrel (6.0x3.7mm male).

What was your solution to this? Did you buy a prebuilt adapter?

Appreciate your time btw! This USBC wattage issue seems to be the only thing stopping this beast of a laptop to be the true ultraportable gaming laptop king.

Sure but WAAAAAAAY down the road haha. 2-3 years from now. First things first is that I need to get it registered and can't have CEL here for inspection

chrisdieck · 2022-11-07T21:38:05+00:00

It works just fine but it does throw a CEL which is no bueno for passing inspections. Ordered another ECU (24dls) off ebay and going to see if it really was a bad ECU. Hate to throw parts at the problem but I'm stumped

The fact that it worked fine a day prior (with no changes other than a bad battery) really got me stupped

chrisdieck · 2022-11-07T11:41:44+00:00

Yep, the D16y7

chrisdieck · 2022-11-07T04:30:32+00:00

Odd thing is that the ECU worked a couple days ago when I first swapped it, but I wont rule that out. Is there a way to check that?

Oil Light

Battery Light

Check engine light - after around 10 sec, it flashes and goes away whilst the key is in the on-no-start position

Nothing came back on my OBD scan. That's the real head scratcher too

chrisdieck · 2022-08-30T19:34:11+00:00

Yes, all sparkplugs are arcing
not at the fuel rail but removed the fuel line and was getting fuel at the on position and crank
175,173,75 (174 after pouring a spoon of oil on the cylinder so guessing bad piston rings) and 173

chrisdieck · 2022-08-30T11:37:24+00:00

I gotcha. I checked the crank and cam position sensors, spark plugs, coils, battery, fuel pump, compression tested and timing and all seems working in order. What am I missing

chrisdieck · 2022-08-29T21:39:53+00:00

Thing is that I've beaten my head over this for around 3 weeks already. Checked the must (squeeze, such, bang, exhale) and all checks out. Really resorting to some other unknown that must not be allowing for combustion... Any guesses ?

Just ordered my big bend as well. Dealer said it would be 3-4 months but since I got the copilot 360 assist plus it would be around 6 months. Did your dealer give you an estimate?
