Docstation G5

A_Figueiredo · ‎05-08-2023

I have an HP Pavillion laptop, an HP monitor, later I bought an HP USB-C Dock G5 docstation, unfortunately my idea would be that I would just connect the USB-C cable to the laptop to automatically connect the monitor to the network, and power, etc, but in the meantime I came to the conclusion that the laptop was not compatible, today reading this page https://support.hp.com/pt-pt/document/c05269818 left me wondering if there was an update that in the meantime has overcome this limitation.

Hi,

You would need to give us the exact model number of the PC so we can have some idea of what kind of ports it has.

Let us know,

No.

The basic requirements for the dock are USB Type-C™ 3.1 Gen 2 (Thunderbolt™ 3, DP 1.2, PD 3.0, Data transfer, HP Sleep and Charge ).

Few, if any, mainstream models such as the HP or Pavilion series have those options.

It is a chipset capability and hardware issue, so an update could not fix that problem.

It,s the HP Pavilion - 15-cs3013np, serial number [personal info removed]

I had already looked that up and noted that it does not meet the requirements for the docking station.

That is the downside of having a mainstream laptop model. They just don't have the specifications.
