Take the bus... to get some new cables: Raspberry Pi 4s are a bit picky about USB-Cs

chuBb.

Shame, but not that big a deal to be honest, just means buying a decent but not 5A rated usb C lead. In simple terms if it came with your fancy laptop to charge it dont use that cable, otherwise just use any decent (> 50p) usb c phone charging cable.

Something like this would be fine (as i have been recommending them to friends and family since USB C emerged and yet to have any cable related problems (apart from teenagers hatred of strain reliefs but no cable survives that...)) https://www.amazon.co.uk/LUORIZ-Braided-Charger-Charging-Devices-3-Pack-2m-White-Black/dp/B07425QG2T
