G16 7630 Thunderbolt 4 port power query
Hello.
I've had the above for 3 months and so far, I'm very happy with it.
I need to get a Thunderbird 4 hub/dock and I'm aware that the 7630 will not charge via the TB4 connector (apparently a warning flashes up).
All TB4 hub/docks that I've looked at supply power to the host (laptop) as well as through other ports.
What I need to know is if any power applied to the port will cause any harm? I cannot find any info regarding this issue.
Regards
John
Ps. I know this laptop isn't an Alienware laptop, but there's no topic for this line of devices....

No harm will be done -- the system will only take power from the AC adapter when connected directly to the system.
There is a forum for Inspiron systems, of which all of the G series models are.

Thanks for the info on both the power query and the forum.
