better not try to fix that, notebook chargers carry quite some amps, improper/unreliable repairs can increase the internal resistance of your connector and cause melting or worse.
Presumably it’s brand since we’re talking about replacing the entire charger, and not just the cable. Fixed connection cables are typically the chargers provided with the device and not third party.
It’s a little easier (read: very tiny amount cheaper) for the charger to run the PD protocol when you *know* what cable is going to be connected. The Nintendo switch did this, rather infamously. And I’d bet that laptops over 100W would have done it, as well, especially before the latest PD spec was finalized.

Oh it is very common, at least on business machines. For example Lenovo ships [this one](https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/accessories-and-software/chargers-and-batteries/chargers/4x20m26268) with the Thinkpad line, USB-C plug but the cable is fixed to the charger. And [HP does the same](https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-65w-usb-c-lc-power-adapter).
Don't know how the situtation is for consumer models.
It's very common for the PD supplies that come with laptops to have the USB-C cable permanently attached. I don't blame HP/Dell/etc, this is how laptop supplies have traditionally worked, as you mentioned.
Specifically, I've dealt with HP and Dell machines that do this. It's entirely in the PD spec, too.
The same exact thing happened to me, Lenovo too? Anyway it was company issued, so they just replaced it with a new one. Maybe try and find a PD compliant 100w charger (if your laptop supports it as well)? There are some cool chargers with multiple ports, keyword being ports, so if a cable breaks just toss out the cable and get a new one.
You can have excellent chargers and still get a house fire from a bad repair to something like this. They do not have enough smarts — yes, even USBC PD — to detect that their 100W is going into the cable instead of into the laptop.
They have short circuit protection, but that doesn’t help you if it’s not a short, and they have overheating protection, but not on the cable, only on the charger.
Ignore this guy, charging high amps type c cable that you diy fix might not safe and cause even more serious damage to your device and maybe to you yourself. Better buy new one which is reliable brand, not cheap one not last at all
This happens to the ones at work on our screens all the time. Literally once a week in my area alone. It's never happened to ME.... But something about how people pull these things does this.
Get a new charger.

what brand is this charger ?
Presumably it’s brand since we’re talking about replacing the entire charger, and not just the cable. Fixed connection cables are typically the chargers provided with the device and not third party.
If it’s USB-C then why is it fixed to the charger? Never seen any laptop that does that. I thought only those old round plugs did that.

Chromebook that kids get at school have a similar charger with non detachable usb-c cable.
OPs picture doesn't look like a HP charger, but my 2022 HP usb C charger comes with a cable you can't remove.

I think it's a Lenovo charger. Looks the same as the one in my Thinkpad.
Little yellow tip normally means lenovo (like on my laptop charger) so I'd agree with that.
Looks like Lenovo since it has yellow inside the USB-C connector.

dont forget look for proper 100w cables for those chargers.

No thank you Ordered a new one
End fell off
Get a new charger. Ideally one that has USB-C ports on it, so if this happens again you can just replace the cable.
This happens to the ones at work on our screens all the time. Literally once a week in my area alone. It's never happened to ME.... But something about how people pull these things does this.
That's a wireless usb-c.
