Which charger i can buy?

Laptops Freebook i3/i5/N100/150

Hello, im trying to find a secondary charger for my freebok 360 N5100.
But it seems only the original charger is working.
Does someone know a charger that for sure should work?
Or is PD charging disabled and i need to set an option in the Bios?

For example I did try this one: INIU Cigarette Lighter USB, 66 W Car Charger, Car USB-C USB-A PD 3.0 & QC 3.0+ Fast Cigarette Lighter Adapter for iPhone 16 15 14 13 Pro Max Plus Samsung Galaxy Note Pixel: Amazon.de: Automotive
It provides PD 12V 3A which should match the original charge 12V 2A

pls help

Thanks.

This one should work:

Works well with my Minibook N100 which in essence is the same as the Freebook N 100.

Thank u very much for answering.

Just ordered the exact one of the link. I will report back if it works or not.

Just got the Charger. It does work! Thank u so much.
But i also tired this one

But this one does not work :frowning:
What’s the difference here? Since the original charger has 24W and this single port Charger has 30W.

Thanks for coming back. I have that one too and it works fine with the minibook X N100. As you can see on the picture it negotiated 20 Volts and charges with around 17 Watts.

For me it does not work on the freebook.
Guess I’m gonna buy that usb power meter too, to see what’s going on.

Some equipment I own that monitors what happens between Powered Device (tablet, laptop, phone, flashlight, etc.) and Power Delivery Device (Power Supply, Power Bank)
-FNIRSI FNB58 (expensive, complex, but lots of info including protocol sniffing and cable testing)
-HIDANCE HDC-085C (cheap, simple with basic info)

And a universal USB cable conductivity tester from Treedix.

Finally, there is a guy on YouTube who evaluates chargers. He considers the IKEA 2 port USB c version as good, but the one port version less than average. That’s why I recommend the 2 port version.

Already ordered this one:

Hope it does show me the needed information.
Cuz I’m planning to buy a matching powerpank for this laptop.

It will tell you enough about the charging process.

Only if you want to know if your cables can do more than 65 Watts or what datacapabilities they have you will need an additional device.

It never ends. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Will the device that I have ordered give me information about what charging protocoll is used?

11

No, it will only show the voltage as a result from the negotiation. Based on current and time it can then show charge power and charge capacity. It also shows peak voltage and current.

The FNIRSI FNB58 can sniff protocol exchange as well detect the Power Source capabilities.

It’s quite an expensive device. You could start with the device you just ordered and see if you really miss capabilities to test negotiation, cable type, and cable resistance.

Sry for the late respsonse.
I got the USB Powermeter.
It is charging at 15V and 17W when the laptop is turned off or in standby.
While using the Laptop it goes up to around 34W :slight_smile:
Seems like when using PD chargers it needs to have 15V. Not 12V like the original charger that came with the laptop. But im not sure if PPS is used.

It look like our laptops have similar power draws.

The Minibook X N100 comes with a charger that is fixed at 12 Volts. I have put that charger away, because it will fry other equipment than the Minibook.

The Minibook X N100 negotiates 20 Volts with the IKEA power supply. Charging when the laptop is off, it peaks at 17 Watts. When the battery is empty and the laptop runs, it peaks at 36 Watts.
