Power-cycle/reboot docking station

When you plug your laptop into a docking station the mouse, keyboard, or monitors may not work. The most common cause of this issue is the docking station may have gotten hung up. While the docking station cannot be used without a computer, it has a small processor in it that handles the ability for you to use it.

Checking the monitors.

Checking mouse and keyboard cables.

Resetting the docking station

A majority of the time you can reset your docking station and it will fix the issue. If this does not work, go to the next solution.
