Hopefully someone can answer my question quickly. I had this port replicator connected to a Pavillion laptop but the laptop and cord was stollen. I replaced the laptop with a HP Envy but I can't get it to work with this unit. For some reason no power...

Power doesn't go through the replicator; the replicator handles device and network connections. You need to plug your laptop into the wall directly. Or, if you don't mean power but just that the replicator and laptop aren't communicating, be sure to install the latest drivers from HP for the replicator, and be sure to install the latest DisplayLink package from DisplayLink.com. Hope that helps.

I want to say no because the one I received didn't work. However I'm unsure if that was due to compatibility or if the cable was faulty. (The cable fit into the port of the laptop but would not remain in with out leverage).

Hello, I made the big mistake by buying this without knowing how it was exactly going to work.After research I managed to put my external gpu together & it did not work on my laptop because I had also no expresscard slot.I never tried USB because I think that the connection is not strong enough. What kind of laptop do you have? It mostly work on ACER laptops.I have ASUS and that's not good for this, Some ACER laptops have an extra slot on the motherboard where you can connect it to and that's what I saw someone doing in a youtube video& it worked.

It is a cheap answer for a docking station. Instead of plugging your computer in to a docking station, the port replicator has dedicated input ports. They are then combined into one by the replicator with a single USB to connect to your computer plus power. So instead of plugging and unplugging 4 or 5 or more cords depending on how many peripherals you have it's just 2, at least in theory. I could never get the printer to work. Other things like the key board and mouse had to be reset from time to time. I ditched the thing and bought a docking station. I have been much happier with the docking station. Pop it in and pop it out. It's worth the extra money. It is a cheap answer for a docking station.

Lenovo does not list it as being compatible, and new replicators are different. My guess is no, but you can always contact them directly.

MANUFACTURER REPLY:Hello,Thank you for showing interest in our products. If by port replicator you mean USB to DVI adapter that is not DisplayLink based, then no, this will not work. You cannot mix display adapters since the drivers will most certainly cause conflicts. Please contact us at support@plugable.com for more timely responses and for further details.Kind regards,PatricPlugable Technologies

Based on the spec for this system, per HP's spec sheet (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02525053&tmp;_task=prodinfoCategory&cc;=us&dlc;=en&lc;=en&product;=4325183), the dv6-3187 needs a 90w adapter. I would confirm this with the label at the bottom of the laptop. I wouldn't recommend that you use the 120w, unless you have one of the docking stations intended for it. The HP docking stations all seem to use more power than the laptop itself needs, so it's probably best to check the specification of the docking station, if that's involved. Otherwise, my recommendation is to stay with a 90w AC adapter instead.

No, this is a port replicator, not a power adapter. It will add ports of whatever device is connected to it. If the XPS 13 has a USB 3.0 port, you would want to use it to connect the Targus unit. It provides USB 2.0, 3.0' RJ45 network jacks as well as two video ports to run dual monitors. I have one connected to a Surface Pro and it works flawlessly.

It didn't work with my PC laptop so I returned it and bought a WARPIA device. It works seamlessly. I am still using it for almost 2 years now.

I'm sorry I can't be more definite. I don't know the difference between the two models, I don't even know which model I have without tearing it apart to see the model # (it isn't readily visible). As far as whether your model laptop will work, they are real good about saying which model comps will work with which dock. All I can say is that mine is working like a champ, and if you decide to get one I'm sure you'll be as thrilled with it as I am with mine!

I think the question here is whether the docking station can power on the laptop. The answer is no. The docking station is just a port extension for the laptop.

I would doubt what you have stated. This should work on any laptop/PC with a USB2.0 slot. It doesnt matter if it is HP or any other brand as long as USB2.0 option is provided ( I did try on a old HP Desktop and it worked fine). It might struggle if it is connected via a USB hub. So direct connectivity is recommended. Even if there is a power source issue with certain computers, then you can go for a twin-head USB cable (sold separately) for drawing power from two USB slots in the computer. Hope this helps.

None, the systems ships with only the power adapter. I recommend getting a USB 3 Port replicator with/without power.

I don't believe that there is a separate replicator for the hp envy. You might want to ask hp if this replicator is compatible with the hp envy.

The newer laptops and pc's are likely not compatible with the USB connection. My suggestion is to take it to a JVC dealer and find out what USB cord you can use, but don't buy it from them....go to Ebay or Amazon and you can get it dirt cheap.

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.
