Charge Ledger Nano S.

[Kongxx]

Do I charge Ledger Nano S by connecting it to a notebook?

I connected it to my notebook but I didn't see any response on the ledger.

AFAIK, neither the Nano S, nor the Nano S plus are chargeable. They don't have batteries. You plug the device to use it directly but it does not charge. The Nano X is the model with the battery.

You can see all of the other models specifications here (the nano S is not mentioned because its depreciated):

If I get your question correctly, you are asking if you can charge your Ledger Nano S? No, you can not charge Ledger Nano S because the hardware wallet does not come with a battery that can be used to charge it. But it will work directly with your laptop.

If you are asking the reason the hardware wallet is not working when connected to your laptop, read this: https://support.ledger.com/article/115005165269-zd, maybe it can help.

If your Nano S isn't turning on when connected to your laptop, you may have a problem with the cable
Try using a different cable to see if it's recognized

If your laptop recognizes it but your Ledger doesn't appear to be turned on, you may have a problem with the display, which is quite common with the Nano S

Yes, this is the most likely cause and the easiest to check. However, malfunctions can also be caused by broken USB ports, both on the laptop and on the device. Ledger Nano S uses a micro-USB cable to connect to the laptop. I wouldn't be surprised if frequently inserting and removing the cable could disrupt the USB connection.

If it doesn't recognize the device, it could be a faulty circuit board. That's why it's best to have a backup device in case the primary one fails.

In any case, more information is needed to determine the reason why there is no response on your device.
