Intel Air which comes with a 30 watt usb c charger won't charge or turn on even after being left for days.
However a 87 watt charger from a MacBook Pro charges it and it turns it on.
Obviously there is something wrong as it should work with the supplied charger.
Is there a fix? (apart from buying a 87 watt charger.(
Thanks
 
Isolate the problem. Are you using the same cable. Does the 30W charger work with other devices, does another 30W charger work with your air.
 
I've used 3 different 30w chargers and cables. None of them work.
Yet with the 87 watt it works immediately.
I have also now charged the laptop.... so battery is full.
Turn it off and it won't turn on again without the 87 watt charger despite having a full battery.

Ok. Your laptop has a problem, I would contact apple.
