Hi all-

work supplied a 'new' :rolleyes: laptop but wouldnt stretch to a dock for working from home... so thought Id pick one up. HP ones are expensive!

so picked up a
Targus from ebay - didnt notice it didnt have cables! but thought would try anyways once I got it.

I bought a Targus Had a 90 watt laptop supply that connects to the dock - this too was cheap so thought that would work (think the original is 100watt)
Have plugged in USB C to laptop USB C - charges laptop.

Plugging in 2 x HDMI gets no display to the monitors.

*Am I missing a special connector to go from Dock to Laptop that enables the power to the displays?
* Is the USB C to USBC cable Im using only supplying power but no display? how can you tell ?
(think it was from my Quest 2) - I dont have any other USBc to USBc cable handy.

Am I missing something else.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks - ordered a
"USB C to USB C 3.1 Gen2 Cable 1M,100W USB Type C to C Fast Charge Data Cable 4K Video Output"
Will see if that fixes the issue.
Yeah the power supply is 10W lower so might be an issue - will see what the cable does.
