A friendly reminder from your neighborhood DocKtor.Please use the cables that come with your Targus Docking Station to connect between the dock and the host.
Some PCs appear to disable legacy power from the DOCK190 when its needed most, that is, to power and charge the PC battery! We noticed the issue on a few HP models, but the issue may exist on other PC makes and models.
