Using a Chromebook charger with exposed wires is not safe and should be avoided. Exposed wires can create electrical hazards, including fire, shock, and damage to the device and/or property. As well as causing electrical issues and network outages, the improper power flow may reduce delivery to your device - leading to power spikes creating significant heat and damage to internal components, leaving your Chromebook unusable.
