Hey there!

Here are things I tried when I received the first batch of adapters that didn’t work.

  • Have you installed an SSD in the M.2 to make sure the expansion bay is working?
  • Did you have a different OCuLink adapter (ribbon type) that you were using before? I went back and reconnected the one I had to make sure.
  • Does the GPU work in a different system?
  • Can you connect the dock to a different system? (I have a mini PC with OCuLink as well)

Keep us posted!

Edit:

  • Have you tried booting into Linux (Live USB)?
  • Does anything happen with the GPU? Do the fans start spinning?

Another, perhaps related, interesting post from yesterday.
