Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UGREEN Revodok Pro 2101, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Display on HDMI 2:
The HDMI 2 port requires the installation of the Silicon Motion driver. Ensure you have downloaded and installed the latest driver from the official UGREEN website (ugreen.com) and restarted your computer. Verify that your display settings are correctly configured for extended or mirrored mode.
- Intermittent Connection/Display Issues:
Ensure all cables (USB-C to host, HDMI, power) are securely connected. Try unplugging and replugging the docking station and all connected peripherals. Restarting your laptop can also resolve temporary connection issues. Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode).
- No Power Delivery/Slow Charging:
Confirm that you are using a 100W PD 3.0 compatible power adapter and a high-quality USB-C to USB-C cable that supports power delivery. The docking station itself does not include a power adapter.
- USB Devices Not Recognized:
Try connecting the USB device to a different port on the docking station. Ensure the device drivers are installed on your computer. If the issue persists, try connecting the USB device directly to your laptop to rule out a device-specific problem.
- Ethernet Connection Issues:
Check the Ethernet cable connection at both the docking station and your router/modem. Verify network settings on your computer. Try restarting your router/modem. Ensure the Ethernet port on the docking station is clean and free of debris.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact UGREEN customer support for further assistance.
