Blank screen, wrong layout or nothing from the dock? Five quick checks before you call.
Most monitor and dock problems come down to a loose cable, the wrong input or Windows not detecting the screen.
Try these, in order
- Check the cables and power. Make sure the monitor is on and both ends of each cable are pushed in. Check the dock's power light.
- Check the input. Use the monitor's buttons to pick the right input: HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C.
- Ask Windows to find it. Press Windows + P and choose Extend. Or go to Settings > System > Display and select Detect under Multiple displays.
- Reconnect the dock. Unplug your laptop from the dock, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in.
- Restart with the dock connected.
Screens in the wrong order?
In Settings > System > Display, drag the screens to match how they sit on your desk, then select Apply.
Still nothing? Email support@deepnet.com with the make of your dock and monitors, or a photo of how they're connected.
