Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No display output via HDMI.	Host USB-C port does not support DP Alt Mode. Loose HDMI cable connection. Incorrect display settings on host device. Outdated graphics drivers.	Verify host device's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode. Ensure HDMI cable is securely connected to both the docking station and the monitor. Adjust display settings in your operating system (e.g., extend, mirror). Update your laptop's graphics drivers. Try a different HDMI cable or monitor.
USB devices are not recognized.	Loose USB connection. Insufficient power supply to the docking station. Device driver issues.	Ensure USB devices are firmly plugged into the docking station. Connect a power adapter to the USB-C PD port of the docking station. Try connecting the USB device directly to the host computer to check if the device itself is faulty. Restart your computer.
Ethernet connection is not working.	Loose Ethernet cable connection. Network settings issue on host device. Router/modem issue.	Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the docking station and your network device. Check your host device's network settings. Restart your router/modem. Try a different Ethernet cable.
Laptop is not charging via PD port.	Power adapter not connected or faulty. Host USB-C port does not support Power Delivery. Power adapter wattage is too low.	Ensure your USB-C power adapter is connected to the docking station's PD port and is functional. Verify your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery input. Use a power adapter with sufficient wattage (e.g., 65W or 100W) for your laptop.
