Perhaps something like this:

This is a USB2 extension cable.  It has two jacks (one for power and the other for power and data) which feed the one port, hence you are able to get more power than if you plug into just one USB port.

I’ve also seen USB3 extension cables with an extra USB2 plug attached - the USB2 plug is just to add some additional power to the line, not for data.

I’ve never tried one of these cables, but the principle makes sense to me.

Perhaps there is a cable like this which will combine USB with some other type of connection, but I’ve never heard of anything like that.

I have advised many people to avoid this piece of junk like the plague.

If they would market this thing as a tablet, and charge $300 for it, I don’t think anyone would have any complaints.  Instead, they are calling it a laptop and charging top dollar for this throwaway tablet.

As for whether anyone ever repairs laptops, two cases:

1.  I added RAM to my wife’s Dell laptop.  Ridiculously easy.

2.  My niece dropped her Chromebook, knocking a part loose inside.  I removed a few screws, removed the back cover, and fixed the problem in 30 seconds.  Total time for the repair: five minutes.

The comment above about cleaning out the dust is very true.

It is painfully obvious that no actual technician was in on the design or testing phase of this device.  If they were, they wouldn’t have been able to sleep at night after okaying a piece of junk like this.
