Chapter 4. Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about what to do if you experience problems with the dock. General 1. The dock does not work after connected to a computer with the provided USB-C cable. • Ensure that you use the ac power adapter, power cord, and USB-C cable that come with the dock. Disconnect and reconnect each one to ensure that they work well. The dock always needs an external power adapter for operation, because it does not take power from your computer.
If the problem persists, disconnect all connections of the dock and uninstall the device driver of the dock. Then, reinstall the device driver and reconnect all cables to the dock. See Chapter 2 “Setting up the dock” on page 5. 2. I cannot play back videos on the external display but can play them back on the computer display. Some computers do not support the Certified Output Protection Protocol (COPP), so you cannot play back the protected videos on the external display connected to the dock.
