D5000 + No Display via DisplayLink

jmill130 · 10-27-2015, 11:00 AM

UPDATE:

I was able to get everything working again by uninstalling and reinstalling the following in the order below:

1) Network_Driver_F2C1D_WN_10.0.0.268_A02.EXE
2) Network_Application_P6KRF_WN_1.8.5.1280_A09.EXE
3) DisplayLink_7.9M3.exe

The trick seems to to be when first connected, a diaglog box needs to appear to indicate connecting for the first time. This continues as new devices are recognized and Windows will indicate the devices found (e.g., Displaylink, usb, etc.). This did not always appear for me.

Just hoping it continues to function when undock later.

Back to the same issue. I closed my laptop and ran to a meeting. I come back to my desk and the dock light turns blue and D5000 software indicates green and connected, but no display on my 2 monitors.

What am I missing.. Why does the dock initially function after install but then stops?

I tried unplugging the dock and closing and opening D5000 software, no luck.

Quick Update: If I restart my laptop and then use the D5000 software to connect, all connects correctly. It seems something is preventing me from undocking (just closing the lid) and walking away and then coming back and it does not re-sync and display.

Is there anyway to know what might be causing this or best way to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Jason

I know this doesn't solve the original poster's issues but I'd like to report that I had Dell support walk me thru fully removing the "D5000 Wireless Dock" software by Wilocity and the "Dell USB Docking Software" software by Dell and then clean installing DisplayLink 7.9M3. It's worth noting that Dell had me use the free version of "Revo Uninstaller" to uninstall the apps AND clean up all the drivers from the application folders normally left behind in a standard uninstall.

After doing this I'm happy to report I am able to reliably get my AOC USB monitors working on this laptop as well as have them work when plugged in before boot or have the laptop go to sleep and wake up while still connected to the display.

I was able to confirm that the D5000 Dock uses a DisplayLink chipset and they agreed that if my monitor didn't run off the version of the DisplayLink driver they have baked in to their dock software I "may" have issues loading a current version on top.

So, back to the OP's issue, perhaps you're trying to update using the driver on this site above and beyond the dell-supplied driver's version is causing your issue?Would the 7.9 driver you tried have tried to upgrade the firmware in the dell dock and created an issue between the older dell displaylink driver and the now [possibly] upgraded firmware? Just throwing thoughts around... Maybe due to files being left behind you may want to just try removing all the USB dock software and displaylink with Revo Uninstaller and ONLY reinstalling the newest Dell provided dock drivers with their included version of displaylink?

Just a thought...

esmith13, you could be correct. I am hesitant to change anything since i finally got my displays to work at all. Only issue is if I undock and come back to desk, I have to restart my entire computer, then it works again.

What's also odd is my workstation gets hung trying to shut down after docking to D5000. I think its a hardware address conflict or something.. not sure just yet.
