powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged in
to a working outlet, or by battery with a
capacity above 20%. I have plugged a

order to charge it, but the device is not
charging.
The port is not powered on. Toggle power to the port using the Fn + power
button combination.
This function may not work with certain external USB compliant devices (check
your device’s documentation). If this is the case, power the computer on and

run in DC mode (on battery) in low-temperature conditions, the battery must
have a remaining charge capacity of 80%+.

external display through an HDMI or Display Port connection. See “Sound
