HP G5 USB-C Dock Setup and Usage...How do I setup and use the HP G5 USB-C Dock?
Hello RUclipsr's,
My name is Harold, This is TechonTech, and today we are taking a look at ESD Bracelets...but more specifically, the one I built. The one that I bought that was a scam, and the one that I wish I owned the patent to. Guys take a short ride with me as we look at wireless electro static bracelets.

What can I say? I pay 3$ a month and acorns does my investing with the money that I additionally put in. "If I had 40 hours a week to do all the research and work, I would probably do what these guys are doing.
Buy me a cup of coffee :)

![[Latest HP Dock G5 - Universal Docking Station with USB C - Unboxing & Review - India, June 2021]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/70wzveNld-Y/mqdefault.jpg)
I had someone catch this: @ 1:42 seconds, I did mean to say power button and not power cord on top.
Does this power button turns on Laptop without needing to open the laptop lid/screen?
@@zeshanahmed2113 You know, I did not get a chance to test that, but based on how it worked and based on the fact that it needed a power button at all. I would say that it probably is part of its function. But make sure you buy it from a place you can return it to irregardless.
Thanks for the video!! I couldn’t figure out where to plug the brick on the doc. Now it’s clear and it turns in. 🙏
Glad I could help!
Great video, thanks a lot! 👍
Thanks for the thorough review! The HP USB-C Dock G5 with its 8-in-1 functionality seems like a versatile and powerful docking solution for laptops and PCs. Your detailed explanation of its features and demonstration of its performance are much appreciated. This dock has now caught my attention for my connectivity needs, and your review helped me understand its benefits better. Thanks for sharing this gem!
Great video! I was actually having an issue where my dock wasn't receiving power. Completely confused until I saw in this video that the dock needs the 120W power cable. The 45W stock power cable my hp laptop came with was not enough.
I have an LG monitor with Thunderbolt port. Could I connect it to G5’s Thunderbold or I need to use a DisplayPort/HDMI?
Hey, cool video.
Question, before i invest in one of these, given it has 2 display ports (are they obsolete) and is this device relevant? - i.e. future proofed.
CAN I turn off the Power Delivery cause I use my laptop charger already
Thank you!!
Welcome!
Great video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What if my HP laptop doesn't have a USB-C port?
Dies it works with dell latitude 5420?
At 1:42 you say on top is the power cord, did you mean button? I am just trying to make sure that button on top powers up the HP Laptop. Thanks!
You are correct sir, @ 1:42 I did mean to say power button, although I couldn't say if it will power up an HP laptop connected to it.
@@techontechofficial ok, thank you!
It has a USB-C cable that plugs into the computer, and it also has another USB-C port. My older version had a double cable with power and USB-C. I was wondering if I needed to use two USB-C cables (my laptop has two side by side). What is the second USB-C port for?
Been a little while since I did this video, but in answer to your question, the one USB-C is a connection to the computer. The other USB-C plug is for USB-C inbound from some device or to power a USB-C device.
@@techontechofficial I realized I can charge my phone with it!
My friend, God bless you, you have saved me from me
I have the same docking station but i bought usn a connector but it's not working with usb a
Yeah, because of the bandwidth requirements. This requires a USB-C connection into the computer.
Theis are not heavily using power. It is made to power and charge the laptop, that is the point of the high power adapter., 2 choices 120 watt or 230 watt for the type of laptop you are using. It has nothing to do with it use as a hub Except it will also power and change things plugged into its ports like phones
can it be tracked what i’m doing on laptop while connected to this docking station?
The docking station does not track what you do. There is no logger or anything built in...but what you do on your computer may be tracked by apps and programs on your computer.
does it power on the laptop when shut down using the docks power button?
It shouldn't
This feels like a "Given it by work, selling it on eBay." sort of thing.
LoL
show us how to plug it in!!!!
and the problem was solved and if so, how?
Does it connects to computer via thunderbolt4 ? (40gbs)
I re-checked the specs and I couldn't find the answer to this...but...being as the Thunderbolt it does have just may be from the crossover of also technically being USB-C. I doubt it.
Did you connect your desktop with it?
If I understand your question... When I switch over and show the Desktop, it is with the Device plugged in.
Is it a duel monitor?
It has one HDMI and two Display Ports. Watch out for older ones that don't have HDMI but have S-VGA.
mine charged the first say i got it now it wont charge turn on anything. Brand new
Did you turn off the power botton on the top? I just posted a correction. There is a power button on the top.
The same thing is happening to me. Worked for a few months now it’s dead 😭
Mine wont power on either. I dont know if it needs to charger first 😢
This hub was a disappointment. My external monitors go on and on. This has been reported on the HP Community Forum by multiple users. It also happens with the HP Thunderbolt Dock as well. It's great to plug all the accessories in, but it doesn't perform, and HP Support doesn't answer. Is this happening to anyone else?
I just want to see how to hook it up
Sorry, If memory serves you need to connect the power to the plug on the bottom and then plug the USB into the computer.
The dock is not that power hungry it's for pass through charging at 100w so it uses only 20w
Good point. On certain laptops, This hub would also do double duty as the power source for the laptop... Meaning it would be the only device you would have to have plugged into the laptop for power and everything.
only 1 hdmi port?
Yeah, only one port...but with USB you could get a USB to hdmi vidoe card and do as many as you want.
- It's not a computer
- It's not a video card
- And it's not Thunderbolt, it's USB-C. The clue was in the name.
Your not wrong but your not quite right either...but for that explanation you will have to follow the spec and the relationship between USB and Thunderbolt.
@@techontechofficial The fact that you can only use USB-C as a tunneling connection for Thunderbolt is a bummer. This is not what I am looking for, unfortunately.
what a nightmare of a video
Yeah it's amazing what you can learn in 9 months doing RUclips videos.
