--- About Charging
Q: This dock doesn't detect any power source.
A: 1. Please inspect the interface and charger to ensure they are free of debris or contaminants.
---------------------------------------------
*If the model you were owning is ROG Docks, HB1101, or Omnicase 2 series*
Ensure that the docking station is connected to your device via the port (IN: USB-C) and to the power source through the charging port (USB-C PD).
2. To test charging compatibility, please choose the official charger. Alternatively, you can use a third-party PD charger with the PD3.0 protocol or higher rating then connect it directly to the device and check for the charging function.
3. Are other functions of the docking station operational?
For instance, test if the HDMI connection displays properly or if USB-A peripherals like a mouse and keyboard function as expected.
4.To help us diagnose the issue accurately, please record a video and send it to our support team by email. The video should include the following steps:
- Connect the dock to the device using the original charger.
- Connect the device directly to the original charger.

---About HDMI/DP
Q: After connecting handheld console to the dock and display, there is no HDMI/DP signal output, or the screen is flickering.
A: 1. Check if the HDMI interface is secure; ensure that you have selected the correct display input on your TV or monitor.
2. Please use an HDMI2.0/HDMI2.1 standard video cable. If this issue happens on the DP port, trying a DP 1.2/DP 1.4 cable.
Try selecting an HDMI/DP cable with a length of less than 4 meters to maintain signal stability.
3. Excessive transfers (such as through an HDMI Switch) can weaken the signal and result in no signal output. If you need to use an HDMI Switch, try a HDMI cable with both ends shorter than 2 meters. Avoid using any HDMI to Displayport adapters, as they might cause signal errors leading to no output.
4. Test with multiple HDMI/DP cables. Attempt to directly connect your device using HDMI to check if the cable is functioning normally.
5. Try a different source and/or dock/dongle (laptop, desktop, phone/tablet with display out capabilities).
6. Please use the official Power Delivery (PD) charger that comes with your device to power the dock, ensuring sufficient power supply.
7. Adjust the external display/TV to an appropriate resolution/refresh rate or lower the resolution/refresh rate.
8. To reset the dock, unplug both your device and the dock completely, including power and monitor cables. Then, plug the cables back in.
*If the model you were owning is ROG Docks, HB1101, or Omnicase 2 series* Ensure that the docking station is connected to your device via the port (IN: USB-C) and to the power source through the charging port (USB-C PD).

---About Audio
Q: After connecting my Steam Deck and monitor to the docking station, my monitor has no audio output.
A: In the Steam settings, click Audio, there is output, and click 'External Devices', and the audio can be transmitted to the TV.
To enable 5.1/7.1 audio over HDMI/DP: While plugged into the display, go to Desktop mode, click on the speaker icon on the task bar, find the HDMI/DisplayPort slider, click on the 3-line menu and select the number of channels that you want. This will then stay selected when switching back to Gaming Mode.

---About Ethernet
Q: I have a Steam deck dock and the Ethernet can't be detected.
1. Confirm if the wired network is properly connected.
Please check in Settings - Internet if "Wired Connection" is displayed, or if the RJ45 port is blinking.
If "Wired Connection" is not displayed, there might be an issue with the Ethernet connection. Please clean the RJ45 plug and reconnect it.
2. If "Wired Connection" is displayed but there is still no network connection or the speed is very slow, it could be because both Wi-Fi and wired connections are active, with Wi-Fi being prioritized.
In this case, please disable Wi-Fi and use the wired connection directly, or set the wired connection as a priority: (Desktop mode - Settings - Network Connection - Check the box for Automatic Priority Connection).
3. If the wired connection displays an exclamation mark, it might be due to the Steam gaming platform server being offline.
Please wait and reconnect to the Steam Deck platform network.
4. Network latency caused by wired network environment issues can prompt the system to automatically switch to a Wi-Fi network with a better connection. It's recommended to try testing in a different network environment.
5. After a system upgrade, the network connection mechanism might change. If the gaming device has been upgraded, you might need to manually set up the wired network connection in desktop mode to establish network connectivity.
