Docking Station Issues

You might consider a dock from OWC (MacSales.com). Although more expensive they are guaranteed to work with the Mac model they are designed to work with. Don't know if they have one that will support 3 monitors. Call Customer Support and ask. OWC is considered to be the premier 3rd party hardware supplier for Macs.

Here are some quick troubleshooting steps for your docking station issue:

1. Check compatibility with your Mac Book Pro.

2. Update drivers or firmware for the docking station.

3. Ensure all cable connections are secure.

4. Reset the docking station if possible.

5. Check for security settings or permissions on your Mac.

6. Test the docking station with another device if available.

7. Contact the manufacturer for further support.

Well, according to the specs (and assuming the footer on your original post is correct), your computer should support this. However, if nothing is happening when you plug it it, there may be something wrong with the dock itself. I would start by contacting Mokin's support .

Thank you for the reply. I think it's the device itself. Going to return it and get another one.

I suspect you are right. There shouldn't need to be any settings changes just to get a dock working.

Best of luck.

Any resolution to this? I bought a Macbook M3 Max chip that is SUPPOSED to handle 3 external monitors. I have tried both Baseus and Wavelink docks with the same results...monitor doesn't even come on.

I've returned both docks and started the return process for the Macbook. Just want to know if anyone else has this problem.

Thanks.

What is the make and model of the docking station?

Excellent suggestions, OT.
