Laptop with a "regular" adaptor/charger.

If pumped in power via USB:

Would it work?

Would it blow?

Much Obliged

You can not charge a computer (traditional laptop) using the USB port.

Probably won't hurt the USB port, but why take a chance? If you have a dead charger you will need to replace it I'm afraid...
