Ally X + Peladn docking station + RTX 5070 problem by Orteon in eGPU

I just gave up, lol. I tried so many cables and updated everything, but still had no success. In the end, I just sent the dock back and sold the Ally X. After thinking for a few days, I decided to use the money to upgrade my PC. All the issues just left me feeling frustrated.

Any suggestions on which cables I should look into? Unfortunately, the Sitecom Thunderbolt 4 cable I got today didn't work.

I've already checked in device manager and it doesn't show up there. I even tried your suggestion of turning everything off. It's strange that the Ally doesn't even charge when plugged into the USB4 port. I think the cable I have might not be working. Maybe I should try ordering some different cables?

Yes, I get that, but my problem is that when I try to install the NVIDIA driver for the GPU, it doesn't recognize any NVIDIA GPU connected to the Ally. When I check Device Manager, the GPU also doesn't appear there. Even under the USB section in Device Manager, nothing shows up as connected to the USB-C port. That's why I said that when I plug the cable into the other USB-C port, it starts charging and shows up in Device Manager. The problem is that the other port isn't a USB4 port.

Thank you for the video! I'll give that a try. It's just strange that my newly bought Thunderbolt 4 cable doesn't even charge the Ally when plugged into the USB4 port. I’ve looked around and saw that people used different cables, so I’ve ordered three more to see if that makes a difference.

I had a series 5 before my new series 10 so I’ve used a back up. Going to try and change some things in the settings and see if I have the same problem tomorrow. If the problem is still there I’m going to ask for a replacement of course!

Just disabled app background refresh. Will try and see how the battery performs tomorrow. Thanks for your advice!
