I have an Asus ROG laptop that normally uses a 200W charger, but I accidentally broke it and need to use the laptop urgently. Are there any alternative ways to charge it until I can fix or replace the charger?

If your laptop supports USB-C charging, you might be able to use a 65W USB Type-C charger. Just ensure it can handle Thunderbolt or USB-C power delivery, which should help you get by temporarily while you wait for a new charger.
For charging through USB-C, check the model specifics on ASUS’s website to see if it supports power delivery. If it does, a USB-C powered dock might help, although it’ll likely be limited to 100W.
Unfortunately, without a working 200W charger, it can be tricky to charge your laptop. If your model has a USB-C port that supports power delivery (check for any symbols like a lightning bolt), you could use a smaller charger, although phone chargers might only be adequate if you dial down the laptop's performance settings. Try switching to eco mode, lowering the brightness, and turning off the dedicated GPU to save power.
Ultimately, getting a replacement for your original charger is probably the best bet. Using other chargers might only help in a pinch, but they won’t fully power the laptop.
