Dell D3000 fails to display on external monitors after disconnect

ronmag · 09-04-2015, 04:23 PM

Me again. Dell D3000 dock worked great all summer. Once the weather cooled off a bit, Dell D3000 will not display to my second monitor when I get to work in the morning. The solution is to:

1. Work with only the laptop monitor for the first hour in the morning until the dock warms up.
2. Then power cycle the Dell D3000 dock.
3. Wait for the second monitor to display.
4. Reboot my laptop.
I guess my Dell D3000 dock just doesn't like fully waking up on cold mornings. Perhaps I will procure a new dock one day. Perhaps I will retire to a desert inland with no computers.
My new problem is to get a monitor working with a DisplayPort cable. DVI works! HDMI works! DisplayPort NFW! I'm too old for this.

Same problem here, using a Dell XPS and DisplayLink Superspeed USB 3.0 docking station.

It worked for me for a couple of days but after last Window update not working. Tried everything to fix it but no luck this time.

Really annoying that so many of you have experienced the same issue but it hasnt been resolved yet.

Hi, same problem here.

I think I have resolved it so far. I had the docking station plugged to a faulty power strip. I noticed that when I put the plug in the socket sometimes there were sparks.

I have changed the power strip and it's been working for a while. So, check your power setup, it seems the docking station is pretty sensitive with it.

Regards

If you have hardware issues, may I recommend you flag this to Dell who makes the hardware?
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do on the software or at chip level for that...

Kind regards,
Alban
