“Has anyone found a USB-C charger that is compatible with this computer while it's on? I can only get it to charge through USB-C when it's off. I think it's an HP firmware issue that needs to be fixed. I've tried 3 different PD USB-C chargers.”

I appreciate the response from HP here but this isn't completely true. The computer can be "tricked" into charging with a USBC charger by plugging in the AC smart plug, then plug in the USBC charger, then unplugging the smart plug. The computer charges just fine this way and 100W is more than enough in most cases. So please HP Support can you request that this SW issue be fixed to allow some power to be drawn from a lower wattage USB-C PD charger?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would not want to use a USB-C based charger this device. If you want to use something besides the AC charger it comes with, you will want a Thunderbolt 4 charger with a 200w output to charge it. Most USB-C chargers will be far below that 200w and will not provide enough power to charge the unit while it is running.
