Troubleshooting

Notebook not charging

Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the dock and the notebook. Verify that the power adapter is properly plugged in and functioning. Check if the notebook's USB-C port supports Power Delivery and if the dock's power supply (90W) is sufficient for your notebook's charging requirements.

External monitors not displaying or displaying incorrectly

Confirm that the monitor cables are securely connected to both the dock and the monitors. Ensure the selected display ports (HDMI, DisplayPort) are supported by your monitors. Update your notebook's graphics drivers and the dock's firmware. Check the maximum resolution and number of displays supported by the dock (up to 3 displays, max 4K resolution).

Network connection not working

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the dock and your network source. Check if the Ethernet port lights on the dock are active. Try restarting your notebook and the dock. Verify your network settings and drivers.

USB devices not recognized

Try plugging the USB device into a different USB port on the dock. Ensure the device is properly functioning and does not require a specific driver that is not installed on your system. Restart your notebook.
