I have recently received a “Plugable USB 3.0 Dual 4k Display Horizontal Docking Station” as a gift, and I could not help but notice but the Blue light that is supposed to ensure the Docking Station is on is not turning on.
I have followed the instructions that came with the Docking Station and have downloaded and updated all drivers necessary. But it is not working for my computer.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or anything I am forgetting. Thank you for your support
Thanks for reaching out to us, I am sorry the docking station is not powering on as expected and I am happy to help!
Based on your description I would like to start by resetting the docking station and computer to see if this helps to restore the functionality, please perform the following:
Disconnect the docking station from the computer and remove the power connection from the back of the docking station, unplug all USB devices from the docking station
Disconnect the docking station’s power supply from the wall and let both the docking station and power supply sit for 30-90 seconds to fully discharge
Restart the computer: In Windows 10: Start → ( Power Icon ) → Restart
After 30-90 seconds, reconnect the power supply to the wall socket or power strip
Reconnect the power supply to the docking station
verify the blue power LED is illuminated on the front of the docking station, please let me know if the LED does not come on at this point
Reconnect the docking station to the computer, please verify the USB cable is fully seated on both the docking station and the computer
check for the external displays to be detected on the system, if they are not detected please restart the system and let me know if they are not detected after the restart
Reconnect USB devices to the docking station one at a time, test each device to make sure it is working before connecting the next device.
