Does the dock have HDMI ports?

Troubleshooting
Dock is not recognized by the computer
Ensure the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected to both the computer and the dock. Verify your computer has a Thunderbolt 3 port and supports the dock. Restart your computer. Check for Thunderbolt software updates on your computer's manufacturer website.
No video output to monitors
Confirm that the DisplayPort cables are securely connected to both the dock and the monitors. Ensure the monitors are powered on and set to the correct input source. Verify your computer supports dual displays via Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Try connecting one monitor at a time.
USB devices are not working or are slow
Ensure USB devices are properly connected. Try connecting them to different USB ports on the dock. For high-speed devices (up to 10Gbps), use the USB Type-C ports. For devices requiring more power, ensure the dock is adequately powered.
Laptop is not charging
Verify that the dock's power adapter is connected and the dock is powered on. Ensure your laptop is compatible with 85W USB Power Delivery and that the Thunderbolt 3 cable is securely connected. Some laptops may require specific power profiles to be enabled.
SD card is not recognized
Ensure the SD card is inserted correctly into the reader slot. Try a different SD card to rule out a card issue. Format the SD card if necessary (ensure you back up data first).
