Hi all,

 

Firstly I am not tech minded so please bear with me. I have two HP laptops I use, and Elite book and a Pro book. I also have two HP e243 docking monitors and a G2 USB docking station. Essentially the problem is that I cannot get the dock to find the monitors using display link cables. I have tried all video input settings and nothing works, it just says all display inputs are inactive and the monitors go to sleep.

 

I have downloaded the latest firmware for the dock and this did nothing. I have also tried using the dock with an hdmi cable to one monitor and it worked straight away. I bought new dp cables in case the original ones I have were faulty but this still didn't work. 

 

The dock is powering my laptop fine and works with one monitor on hdmi fine too. I am all out of ideas so any help would be hugely appreciated!

Hi,

 

Thank you. It's an elitebook g30 G8, a probook 440 g7 and a USBC/A universal dock G2. The monitors are both e243 docking monitors. I hope this helps
