&lt;p&gt;The PD adapter can cheat the USB charger for require power supply.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27716&amp;AppID=4&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Microsoft Surface Book 2 Power Supply Teardown</title><link>https://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/microsoft-surface-book-2-power-supply-teardown</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Feb 2024 10:05:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7b6ac5dc-c6fa-4464-acbd-f629dfb039d5</guid><dc:creator>e14phil</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;These power supplies are connectors are such a pain.

&lt;p&gt;Could just be poor component selection, or it could be intentional to sell more supplies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27716&amp;AppID=4&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Microsoft Surface Book 2 Power Supply Teardown</title><link>https://community.element14.com/technologies/power-management/b/blog/posts/microsoft-surface-book-2-power-supply-teardown</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2024 17:15:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7b6ac5dc-c6fa-4464-acbd-f629dfb039d5</guid><dc:creator>dougw</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Likewise,&amp;nbsp;[mention:89905ffecc134446a07e462576154a4a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]&amp;nbsp; I hope my PS lasts longer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One the images above it looks like one component is on an angle, almost completely missing its intended pad....?&lt;/p&gt;
