Question Laptop docking station issue

[chrisl76]

I have an elitebook 735 g5 with an hdmi and no displayport. It is plugged into a hp ultraslim docking station 2013 which has has 2 displayport and no hdmi. One monitor is old and connects via VGA to docking station. The second has displayport and isn't recognised. Am I right in thinking if the laptop has no displayport then the two displayport ports on docking station won't work? Is there any adapter that might work here ?

So what are my options ?

 

[rgd1101]

what the model of the displayport monitor?

 

[chrisl76]

This one I think it's has vga hdmi and displayports. https://directnine.uk/products/phil...wj4Iu1Me0fiFcewcV5CgfUoi09LO8JKcaAgqoEALw_wcB

is this the one that not working with the dock displayport?
since the monitor don't have displayport.

 

[chrisl76]

It does have displayport. It's the laptop that doesn't have displayport but docking station does. Any way of getting dual screen working with this setup? The second monitor is old and just has vga port which is picked up by the docking station. Do I need some sort of displayport to hdmi connector maybe? Or VGA to HDMI? That could the be plugged into docking station. Want to make sure and buy the right thing.

 

[rgd1101]

the service manual said the should be able to use the displayport and vga port on the dock

 

[chrisl76]

Even though the laptop has no displayport port on it?

 

[rgd1101]

read the manual

 

[chrisl76]

read the manual

Which pages are relevant iv no need to read the entire manual?

 

[rgd1101]

test the displayport monitor on another working system?
test both displayport on the dock?

That specific port replicator does not list your laptop model as compatible. This is likely the problem. Just because it fits doesn't mean it works 100%

So it's not in the manual then?!
