Again moving power back to the right side, restoring State B, resolves the problem immediately.Īmazingly, this is actually a thing that happens. Moving power back to the left side, restoring State A, quickly restores the temperatures and kernel_task again comes back after 3-4 minutes. The left side temperature drops and the kernel_task goes away within about 15 seconds. State B cures the kernel_task problem by moving power from the left ports to the right. About 3-4 minutes later the dreaded kernel_task high CPU usage starts. You can see the Thunderbolt Left Proximity temperature sensor rise quickly.

State A a USB-C hub (a mouse and keyboard, plus power) and a USB-C HDMI 2.0 adapter, both on the left side. It's game over at that point with fans spinning up and CPU usage skyrocketing. So warm that the Thunderbolt Left Proximity sensor sees the increase in temperature and the kernal_task process appears. When you're charging using the left-hand ports and have other accessories plugged into the same side, things get a bit too warm. I'm not going to get into all the nitty-gritty of what's going on – you can read Adam's post for that – but the tl dr is pretty simple. This laptop probably contributed to the issue, but now that I use MacBook Pros, I have yet to encounter that problem.But I know you're asking the obvious question – what's this got to do with charging? It's a good question and one that was answered emphatically in the same thread. I was using a standard HDMI to Thunderbolt 2 cable. The Air didn’t have any USB-C ports, so I was using a USB-A to USB-B 3.0 cable to hook up the laptop to the monitor. I was using a MacBook Air 13” (2017) with macOS Mojave 10.14.5 during the time the monitor webcam wasn't working. It just keeps on flashing/strobing like some horror film)! Then I launched FaceTime, went to the menu bar and selected Video->HP HD Camera and it works (I never got HP IR Camera to work. I think this tricks the laptop into recognizing the webcam.

I first had to launch Photo Booth or any other software that is able to use the monitor’s webcam successfully. To spare you from all the misery I went through, I’ll tell you the solution I found for my particular problem (FaceTime was just showing a black screen). I will, however, re-account what I did to make it work when it was being absolutely a pain in the ass. I did have trouble getting the monitor’s webcam to work, but surprisingly, it all of a sudden just works without me doing anything. I really wish I didn't lose that USB-C cable that came with the monitor so I can stop wondering if it ever even worked. With the chance that it MIGHT NOT even work. There is absolutely no reason to buy that HP cable at that price. However, at that price, I rather buy an extra official Apple charger and a docking hub.

I found the same cable in HP Parts Store for a little cheaper.

Ugh, the last thing I need is to call and have them direct me again or not be able to help. They gave me a number to call and said they would help me find a compatible cable.

I tried to chat with them there, they told me the part I wanted is not available and then directed me to HP official store. The OEM cable is sold for $70! That's insane considering it doesn't work to charge my laptop. Update: I just visited the HP Parts Store. I'm going to try and contact HP, but don't really feel like spending $30 on an Anker Thunderbolt cable that most likely won't charge my MacBook. I have read the thread about Unqualified USB-C error and USB-C cable recommendation for a solution as these look the most promising but to no avail. The only solutions left I haven’t tried is using a Thunderbolt cable ($30) and HP’s official cable that did not come with the monitor, which I have no idea where to purchase. Anker seems like a reliable charging cable company, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. The most promising solution seems to be purchasing NOT a Thunderbolt cable, but a USB-C 3.1 cable rated at exactly 60W. I have searched HPs forums for all of the suggested solutions and tried most of them. The monitor also comes with a USB hub in the back with 2 USB-A ports.) 2 says this monitor is capable of power delivery up to 65W. HP EliteDisplay s340c 34” Curved Monitor (The User Guide Pg. The MacBook’s battery icon shows that the laptop is charging (thunderbolt symbol with white filled background inside the battery icon), but the percentage never goes up, even when the laptop just sits there idle with the screen on. What works: Video, Audio, and Data works. Does anyone have experience with this problem and willing to suggest anything that I haven't tried below?
