@BobbieWinter, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Based on the situation you've described, it seems your HP Pavilion 16-inch laptop is encountering issues when trying to connect external monitors via the Selore 14-in-1 docking station at home. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot this problem:

Preliminary Checks

  1. Verify that the Selore 14-in-1 docking station is compatible with your HP Pavilion laptop.
  2. Ensure the HDMI and USB-C cables are properly connected and not damaged.

Steps to Troubleshoot

  1. Power Cycle: Disconnect the docking station from power and reconnect it. Ensure all cables are securely connected.
  2. Alternative Connections: Try using different HDMI or USB-C cables to rule out faulty cables.
  3. Monitor Input Source: Check if the external monitors are set to the correct input source (HDMI or USB-C).
  4. Driver Update: Make sure your laptop has the latest BIOS and device drivers installed. Visit HP’s support page to get the latest updates.
  5. Docking Station Drivers: If the docking station requires specific drivers, ensure they are installed and up-to-date. Check Selore’s website for any necessary dock firmware updates.

Configuration Steps

Display Settings:

  • Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
  • Check if the external monitors are detected under Multiple Displays.
  • If detected, configure as needed (duplicate, extend, second screen only).

Advanced Settings:

  • Navigate to Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display. Adjust the display settings to ensure proper detection and configuration.

Power and Performance Settings

  • Prevent Sleep/Hibernation:
    • Go to Control Panel -> Power Options -> Choose what closing the lid does.
    • Select Do nothing for both plugged-in and on battery options.

Using Windows Key + P

  • Quick Display Configuration:
    • Press Windows Key + P and select your preferred display configuration (Duplicate, Extend, Second screen only).
