Connecting my Envy Laptop to my Docking station (port replicator) Keington K38249NA / SD4800P

[WilliWill]

Hello All, and Merry Christmas;

I need to ask the community for assistance in attaching my HP Envy M9X67AV  to my new docking station

I purchased a Kensington model No. K38249NA  SD4800P

Listed as

USB-C

10Gbps Scalable Video Docking Station

w/ 135W adapter - DP/DP/HDMI 

for Windows.

It was the only triple monitor support docking station I saw.

I have plugged the USBC into a USB A 3.0 to USB C adapter and pluged it into my laptop.

It kind of work so far.

I have Mouse, Keyboard and Internet; however I do not have  video support.

Will this laptop support a docking station ( port replicator)?    

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Your machine is a CTO machine therefore no available specs but it should have following ports

• HDMI version 1.4 supporting 1920 ×1200 @ 60 Hz
• Hot Plug/unplug and auto detect for correct output to wide-aspect vs. standard aspect video
• AC Smart Pin adapter plug
• Headphone/microphone combo jack
• RJ-45 (Ethernet)
• USB 3.0 ports (two on left side, two on right side)

To answer your question: yes, it supports port replicators using USB 3.0 port BUT your machine does not have USB-C port therefore the USB-C to USB-A could be the culprit.for no video.

I tested many machines (HP, Dell, Aus and Lenovo) using very simple USB 3.0 type A (native, no adapter) port replicators from Lenovo and I always get 3 FHD monitors including laptop screen.

Regards.
