[Question/Feature Request] Ghelper supports for "Charger Not Plugged-in properly"

[itztonydev]

I have been using g-helper for a month now
My Setup: Asus Rog Strix Scar G15 (main gaming rig/dev setup/homelab).

I kept AC installed since i bought it, because it never bothered me that much.

I recently reinstalled my Win 11 again, and installed G-helper, it worked great everything seem to be at finger tips but I have never ever seen G-helper tell me that my charger is not properly plugged in which AC did, neither can i find anything on repo nor any forum containing answer.

Charger not properly plugged-in is kinda hazardous for motherboard due to sparking -> causes sudden increase in resistance then sudden surge of amp in fraction of a second, can and over the time will cause system to crash

@itztonydev I'm not aware about any "ways" to monitor this :) But if you have broken or malfunctioning charger - I can only advice to fix / replace it of course.

Nah charger is working fine, its just that the port has became loose over time. if i move the cable then sometimes it gets disconnected.

a way to monitor this can be tricky indeed, monitoring input voltage and amps, and detect spikes and comparing them against will be too much work.

A work around can be to check the frequency of charger getting reconnected, and comparing it against some constant like 10 reconnections per seconds over a span of 3 to 5 seconds and then displaying a notification accordingly

@itztonydev check app log at %appdata%\GHelper. It logs all WMI events asus firmware sends to it to notify about different things happening. It could be that in case "broken" charger - firmware sends some special WMI event.
