HP 14 inch Laptop PC 14-d4000 (4A958AV)

USB not recognized, trying to connect two extemal monitors through a USB- C (Alogic 12 in 1 mini dock) two HDMI cables from the monitors.  It says the drivers are installed and updated for the product but nothing is connecting.  Tried a cheaper usbc that didn't work, just bought a more expensive one that was recommended - still doesn't connect.

What is your PC 14-d4000 (4A958AV)  machine ? It could be one of the following machine (dozens of them):

 

            https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-14-inch-laptop-pc-14-d4000/2100852819/product-info

 

For example :    HP Laptop 14s-dq4002TU   confusion isn't it, you are not alone.

 

It ONLY has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter


For more connectivity, please use


                         True Universal Docking Stations

 

Regards.

Hi, only just discovered that the USB C on this doesn't have the thunderbolt so will not connect the two HDMI cabled monitors that I have (only need for word docs etc, not gaming or high res video's) So disappointed!  I asked the question specifically when I purchased the HP and also the mini dock "it will all work, don't worry' 

Sounds like I need to return the laptop and buy another one?
