Inspiron 15 3501, missing USB Type-C port
Hello, recently I ordered an Inspiron 15 3501 with an Intel core i7 11. It supposed to have a USB Type-C port but there isn't one? I tried to call the support many times but nothing. I'd be happy if someone can deal with it.

Type C is optional and doesn't come with every unit.
If the machine is in return period you can only opt for a refund and buy the correct configuration.
Tech support can not do anything as it will need a new Motherboard, Bottom Cover, Palm-rest.
All in all the machine has to be rebuild ,

This is exactly the laptop I have and correct processor. Where can I find a cord to plug in for charging using the USB port?

Specifications do not include USB power delivery -- you must use the AC adapter with the barrel plug; the system does not have the ability to charge over USB-A or USB-C.

The USB C port is optional on this model. If you purchased directly from Dell, verify what you ordered with Dell.
If you purchased a system at retail or through a reseller, contact the seller; it sounds like your order did not include the optional port.
System documentation is here clearly stating the USB C port is an optional extra -- not standard on this model line.
