All,
I recently purchased for a colleague and myself two used HP Docking Stations. They are for home use and are exact model as the ones we use at work for our laptops. We are both Software Developers.
Anyways these docks are HP Model 5TW10UT#ABA.
Unfortunately they did not come with there Power supplies (PSU) and I got them reasonable from eBay.
I purchased 2 new from Amazon After Market Power Supplies(PSU). Same Voltage and Same Amperage and in fact it mentions on the Amazon page they are supported for these docks as well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So when I received both the Docks and the PSU's I hooked them up to test them out at my home office.
Nothing appeared to work, does not even charge laptop, and there is no light on the bottom where the PSU connects in to the Dock. (Exactly as the one at my work office does)
So I figured I got some bad Docks as both were doing the same exact thing.
The connector of the PSU is the same type/size/voltage as my laptop. Upon plugging it in to my laptop directly it charges my laptop...So this also pointed to bad Docks.
So I for the hell of it I brought both docks and new PSUs into my work office. I swapped the HP Power Supply to my eBay bought docks and they both work fine. I take the new Amazon bought PSU and hooked it to my work office Dock and it does not work and acts exactly like my other docks on the PSU.
So I now think the Docks are good the PSUs are bad.
I have included images of the PSUs involved.
What did I miss or is there something else going on? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
