MB168+ Vaio Duo 13 - Display Resets every few minutes

[Redback911]

Hi All,

I am seeing a similar problem to an earlier poster, but instead of a disconnect every 5 seconds, my video reset/disconnect is every few minutes.

Sony Duo 13
- Running Windows 8.1
- Intel Video Card (uninstalled, updated, no change)
- Running all the latest video and DisplayLink drivers
- Disabled USB Hub power saving (In Device Settings)

The Asus MB168+ works fine on my Windows 8 Desktop, but not on my Sony Duo 13. The laptop comes with two USB 3.0 ports and both experience the same problem.

Running the DisplayLink Support Tool:

Pass: Basic mode support
Pass: Device attached
Pass: Device started correctly
Pass: Graphics driver date
Pass: WEI is above recommended 3
Pass: No Other USB graphics software installed

I enabled the Advanced Logging and now have a Zip diagnostic file, obtained while I recreated the problem. Who/how should I send the Zip file to?

Thank!

Hi James,

Any thoughts to suggestions? I appreciate that you are limited by the USB hardware manufacturer and Microsoft 8.1 drivers. As it stands the Asus MB168+ is no good, so I see two options:

1. Send MB168+ it back to supplier.
2. Downgrade to Windows 8

Right now option 2 is my preferred plan, but I guess that this may not be 100% of having a working laptop with the MB168+, but all signs show Windows 8 and displaylink is a lot more stable.

Thanks!
