Hello.

I brought a HP Envy x360 convertible 15-330xxx to replace my Probook 450 G5.

I brought a HP Elite USB-C Docking Station.

If I plug the docking station into the G5 it works fine and chargers it.

If I plug the docking station into the Envy it says "The AC adapter is not compatible with the system"

If I unplug the power cord from the dock and put it directly into the Envy power it works fine.

Bios is updated to F.13 9/09/2020.

Tried HP assistant and nothing.

Uninstalled and reinstalled USB Root Hub (USB 3.0)

Did a USB Port Check which passed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the part number on the dock and the laptop? There are a few different generations of those docks. I'll have a bit of a look and see if I can see anything in the specs that may explain this.

It's possible the laptop does not support this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#PD

We deal with the HP commercial range of laptops all the time, but almost never touch the consumer series machines like your model.

Typically the HP Envy Retail range don't support docking station or USB/Thunderbolt Charging

The business version Elite x360 would support this

I can't see anything online to indicate that particular device supports USB-C PD charging.

The presence of a USB-C port on a laptop does not automatically mean it supports charging via USB-C PD. If it's a Thunderbolt dock it may also not work either as I can't specifically see any mention anywhere either of it being a Thunderbolt port.

Thank you for your replies. I would have replied sooner but family issues.

I tried another hp dock hstNN-CX01 hp elite thunderbolt 3 dock. It charged my envy no problem but the power wouldn't light up so I do not think it works with my laptop sadly or it would be perfect. I think the cx01 is for intel systems and mine is AMD. So one dock works but wont charge, the other charges but wont work
