Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm not the most knowledgable around technology.
I'm wanting to buy a usb-c hub to connect my other peripherals to my laptop, and I was wondering if it is possible to charge my laptop through the thunderbolt port with usb-c connection. When I plug the same usb-c cable I use for my phone into my laptop it does not begin charging. I have confirmed it is a thunderbolt port, and everything I have found online about thunderbolt indicates it is capable of charging the laptop.
The laptop is a 17" Vyper that I bought secondhand so not sure on the exact specs.
Am I being stupid, or is the port just malfunctioning?
