Hi I would appreciate some support on the following issue I'm having.
I bought the HP USB-C dock G5 and I've been trying to connect my 15s-eq2206nd laptop to it. I used another old HP model and it works just fine, but for some reason, I can't get my PC to connect to the docking station.
The computer doesn't charge and I only get the notification that something has been connected. I also get a "Display connection might be limited" notification.
Please help.

- Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)
If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use
- Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
- Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as
