What should I do if the hub/dock’s HDMI port is not working?

Modified on: Fri, 15 Nov, 2024 at 10:31 AM




When the hub/dock's HDMI port is not working, no display will be shown on a monitor connected to the hub or dock. This problem may be caused by the connected laptop, HDMI cable, monitor, or hub/dock. 

 

Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help you locate and resolve the problem.

 

For laptops:

  • Confirm if the connected USB-C port of your laptop supports DP Alt Mode (display output). Please check out your laptop's user manual, contact the seller, or go through the manufacturer's website. If DP Alt Mode is not supported, you cannot get an external display through a hub/dock.
  •  If you are using a Mac laptop, reset PRAM using an intel chip. Here are some steps:

1) Power off your Mac.

2) Press your Mac's power button and then hold these four keys simultaneously: ⌘ + option + P + R.

3)  Continue holding the keys until your Mac restarts for the second time. On older Mac versions, the chime will sound upon restart.

  • Update to the latest OS version if you use a MacBook with the M1chip. 
  • Try the device with a different laptop with a USB-C port and make sure that it supports DP Alt Mode (display output) to get a display.

 

For HDMI cables:

  • Verify that all devices are securely attached.
  • Try the device with a different HDMI cable.
  • If possible, plug your HDMI cable directly into your devices and see if you get a stable connection.

 

For monitors:

  • Verify if the monitor is configured to the correct input.
  • Try the device with a different monitor.

 

For hubs/docks:

  • Confirm whether the LED light is on when connected to a laptop.
  • Try with a different hub/dock to see if you can get a display.
