I don't know what's causing that I've tried to look at all the forums and everything .. one said to keep the power supply on all the time so i even switched the atx power on .. on the exp gdc dock and put the pdc to 15s .. so delay and always on .. but it still doesn't work .. i need help with this plz

Remove the gpu from the e-adapter and see if it boot's with the adapter plugged in.
I assume you had powered the eGPU before booting the laptop

Thanks for replying .. and i tried it .. the system doesn't boot up even without egpu and just the adaptar connected .. and yes i tried powering it up before turning on the laptop .. and also tried it the simple way .. where it turns on itself when you turn on the laptop.

Ok that means the issue is with the adapter or the slot where you have it plugged in.
Which slot did you plug into? Most of the E-gpu adapters need the wifi card slot and won't work in an m2 slot.

Okay .. i tested it without even turning on the exp gdc dock .. if i connect the ngff cable to the dock .. the laptop gets stuck ..
Means .. if i just connect the cable .. that's fine .. which should be anyway cause that does nothing at all .. just put the ngff in laptop and the other end is just open .. but as soon as i put the hdmi end in the exp gdc dock .. the laptop gets stuck even if the exp gdc is totally turned off .. no power at all .. can you tell me why is that ? .. or if something is faulty so i can get a replacement .. i only got 7 days to order a refund lol
