Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dopesplay Lapdock, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

No Display / No Power

• Ensure the lapdock is properly connected to the power adapter and the adapter is plugged into a working power outlet.
• Verify the power adapter is the correct one supplied with the lapdock.
• Check if the power button is pressed and held for a few seconds to turn on the device.
• If using a Type-C connection, ensure your source device's Type-C port is full-featured and supports video output.
• If using HDMI, ensure both HDMI and a separate USB cable for power/data are connected.

Keyboard or Trackpad Not Functioning

• Exclude Mobile Phone Compatibility Issues: If your mobile phone is a Samsung DeX-compatible mobile phone, proceed to the next step. If it is not a full-featured mobile phone, contact after-sales support to confirm compatibility.
• Exclude Faults of the Mobile Phone's Type-C Interface Itself: Replace the mobile phone with another one and connect the data cable. Observe if the device works properly. If it does not, there may be a fault with the phone's interface.
• Check the Working Status of the Full-featured Type-C Data Cable: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the full-featured Type-C data cable to confirm if it works properly. If there is a problem with the data cable, it needs to be replaced.
• Operate the Trackpad On/Off Button: Try to turn the trackpad on or off by using the combination keys Fn + Ctrl to check if the problem of the malfunctioning trackpad can be solved.
• Ensure the connection is via a full-featured Type-C cable. Keyboard and trackpad functions are not available with HDMI-only connections.
