1.2 No video output when using HDMI 1

1. Check accessories and connections

Step 1: Ensure that the power cable is connected to the dock. Press the dock’s power button and check if the light turns on. If it does not, please contact our after-sales team. 

Step 2: If you are using a converter cable with the iVANKY FusionDock Pro 1, to avoid cable quality issues, switch to an HDMI 2.0 or higher version video cable. Then ensure the video cable is connected to the monitor and remains secure.

Step 3: Use the included USB-C cable to connect the dock’s interface to the Mac’s USB-C interface, ensuring it is firmly connected.

Step 4: Flip the USB-C cable connected to the computer and re-plug it.

Step 5: Try connecting to another Thunderbolt port on the Mac.

Step 6: In the upper-left Apple menu, go to “System Settings”, click on “Displays”. If the external monitor is recognized but displays no image, replace the HDMI cable. If the issue persists, report to iVANKY customer support. 

Step 7: As ports 4, 5, and 1 share the same output source, please check if ports 4 and 5 are functional to further confirm if the board is damaged.

2. Allow docking station connection

Step 1: Select the upper-left Apple menu icon, go to “System Settings”, choose “Privacy & Security”.

Step 2: Scroll down and click the pop-up menu next to “Allow accessories to connect”, then select “Ask for New Accessories”.

1.4 Screen flickering when using HDMI 1

1. Check accessories and connections

Step 1: Make sure the video cable is connected to the monitor and is secure.

Step 2: Use the provided USB-C cable to connect the dock’s USB-C port to the Mac’s USB-C port and ensure it is firmly connected.

Step 3: Flip the dock’s USB-C cable connecting to the computer and reinsert it into the computer.

Step 4: If you are using a third-party HDMI to VGA/DP to HDMI cable, replace the HDMI cable and try again. It is recommended to use an iVANKY HDMI cable rather than other third-party cables.

Step 5: If you are using a KVM or USB-C extension cable with the iVANKY FusionDock Pro 1, it may cause the dock signal to be lost. Please use the original USB-C cable provided with the dock.


If the above steps do not resolve your issue, please troubleshoot according to the following scenarios:


Scenario 1: The screen goes blank/black for about a second, then turns back on, and the windows on the monitor do not move to another monitor. This is due to the video output from the monitor not being in sync with the video output from the iVANKY FusionDock Pro 1, such as a long or poor-quality video cable. Please replace the HDMI cable with an iVANKY HDMI cable to confirm.

If the problem persists after replacing the iVANKY HDMI cable, please purchase a Cable Ring that supports EMI interference. If you are unsure about the EMI interference Cable Ring, please contact iVANKY customer service, and we will provide timely advice.


Scenario 2: The screen frequently goes black, the Mac detects the external monitor, but no image is displayed or the screen goes black, causing it to be unusable. Please try a different model of the monitor to confirm; the monitor may need repair.


Scenario 3: The screen goes blank/black for about a second, then turns back on, and all the windows on the monitor transfer to the Mac display. This may be due to a signal loss between the laptop and the iVANKY FusionDock Pro 1. Please replace it with another compliant USB4 cable & Thunderbolt cable, such as an Apple original Thunderbolt cable, or contact iVANKY after-sales service to replace it with a compliant Thunderbolt cable.


If the previously mentioned methods don’t resolve your issue, we kindly ask you to provide detailed information on macOS version, malfunctioning devices, and device models, preferably with relevant purchase links. We need to confirm whether there are compatibility issues. Please contact iVANKY customer support for further assistance.
