No I mean a USB C to Lenovo Square tip (the name of that Lenovo yellow plug) adapter, no USB A involved.

USB C PD charger > USB C - C cable > adapter > laptop. I've done this on many thinkpads, the only thing is if you use a small charger (45W or less) and have a big battery or the laptop uses a lot of watts, it might not charge or charge only when off. With 65W you're good, and with GaN tech they are tiny nowadays

This is also so you can also charge your phone tablet or anything else usb C while traveling with only one charger

Hello, I'm seeing a T540P W540 W541 "Power Jack cable" available for less than 5 bucks (aliexpress, ebay, etc). The cable has the charging port and a connector that goes on the mobo so should be a pretty easy fix, no soldering.

Do you have the HMM (hardware maintenance manual) downloaded to double check?

Btw you don't need the whole "lenovo square tip" charger if you have a 20V capable USB C PD charger (65W or more), you can get a 3 bucks adapter, I use it all the time it works perfectly.

You got it! If you need help in putting the ScooterHacking firmware you can ask me, I've done it on mine. Field weakening is incredible.

Another useful website I found is Joey's wiki, and finally Ninebot Max playlist on yt is not bad at all, the repair videos are short but well done (I yt-dlp the whole playlist :D)

Btw I saved your post because mine wobbles a bit, so I might have to look into the same problem in the future (and I already tightened the locking mechanism)

Hi, I'm pretty sure g30p/g30/g30d are the same hardware, the last letter is the region code. G30LP (usually grey/white in colour) is a different model, L for lite. see more on SH wiki

Returnable via an extra shipping?? Yeah that's absolute greenwash, it's a bulky rigid EMPTY plastic box to be shipped back filling up more trucks and planes

Edit: Sorry, just read that they fold down. That's better, but I still doubt that the extra traveling it has to do is worth it compared to local recycling. I'd prefer a push toward monomaterial packaging (either all paper or all plastic, e.g. no metal clips or hard to remove plastic tape that end up in the paper recycling bins)

Same experience as Dr Wesker, I think most things need a bit of "air" to keep worst anaerobic bacteria at bay. Why not a bowl with a kitchen cloth on top, nothing tight? That's what I do with fresh stuff (if cooked, sealed containers)

But even thus the fridge environment is not always ideal, I feel like loads of stuff (exept with this summer heat) lasts longer outside of it (wooden basket with cloth on top 😄 )

For example potatoes: never in the fridge

Tomatoes, if they're good they'll last months outside as well
