Attended a site where a laptop would intermittently lose access to external monitors, keyboard and network connectivity when connected via a USB-C dock. Testing confirmed the notebook itself was operating normally and the issue could be reproduced across multiple docking sessions. The docking station was replaced and all peripherals were retested including dual display output, Ethernet connectivity and USB devices. System functionality was confirmed before handover.
