Posted .I'm sorry to hear the JCD543 is not working to your needs. In the case where nothing you connect to the docking station is working, I recommend contacting the technical support team printed on the packaging to speak with a rep, they will diagnose, troubleshoot and offer a working solution to include an exchange if necessary.

Posted .The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station requires a computer to support DisplayPort Alt Mode via the HDMI or DP ports for video out over USB-C. Please refer to the manufacturer of your hardware for more information on your device. The VGA, MIC, and stand alone HDMI requires an installation of a driver. Drivers are available on j5create website under the "Support" tab > "Downloads/Drivers". ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you require further assistance. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

Posted .Please check for any updates that you may have for your computer. Being behind on updates could cause the j5 device to not function as intended and in order to rule everything out we recommend contacting the Manufacture (of your computer) Support in order to have them assist you in properly updating your computer. The HDMI under the word "OR" is a PnP port and requires a computer to be updated on all available updates needed. The stand alone HDMI requires a driver. You can try uninstalling and reinstallation the driver or test with another HDMI cable if possible. ** If you require further assistance; please contact the j5create Technical Support team and they will be glad to further assist if necessary. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Thank you.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I couldn’t get this to work. Also it does not include the power source and for this price it absolutely should.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The model JCD543P comes with a power adapter, not the JCD543. JUP2290 will be the power adapter that goes with the Dock. Computer's must support DisplayPort Mode and Power Delivery through it's USB-C port. The Dock also requires a driver. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply.

died quickly
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.died very quickly. I liked it when it was working but not reliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .I'm sorry to hear that your USB-C Triple Display Docking Station stopped working quickly and has proven to be unreliable. It's unfortunate when devices fail to meet expectations. When encountering issues with docking stations, it's important to consider the following steps: Confirm that the docking station is connected to a reliable power source and that all connections are secure. Faulty power sources or loose connections can lead to intermittent or complete failure. Ensure that the docking station is compatible with your specific device, including its operating system and hardware specifications. Additionally, check for any available driver or firmware updates for your device, as updates can sometimes resolve issues and improve compatibility. Docking stations can generate heat, especially when supporting multiple displays and peripherals. Ensure that the docking station is well-ventilated and not placed in an area where it could overheat. Excessive heat can cause performance issues or even device failure. If the docking station continues to exhibit problems and is within its warranty period, please contact ouj5create Technical Support Team. They may be able to provide further assistance or a replacement if necessary. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab and a specialist will be ready to assist you. Thank you.
Stopped working after 2 weeks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought 2 of them, one stopped working after a couple weeks. Expensive lesson to learn. I plugged my MacBook Pro in and it wasn't charging.

This dock is garbage.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will not connect to more than one monitor at a time, even with all the instructions and updated drivers. This dock is garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .I'm sorry to hear the Dock did not work for your computer. Unfortunately, the HDMI or DP ports are PnP but requires your computer to support DP Alt. Mode for video output. The HDMI and VGA next to each other requires a driver. To gather more information, our contact info can be located on the packaging or j5create website and out support team will be happy to assist you. Sincerely, j5create.
No power cord.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No power cord - didn't work as expected. Price not what was marked on shelf. Returned with no problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .The JCD543 does not come with a power cord. The JCD543P does. If your computer came with a USB-C power-brick (65W or higher), you can used it for the USB-C power-in port. The power-in port allows pass-through charge and additional power to the USB ports. Your computer powers the Dock when it's connected to a USB-C port. The Dock also requires your computer to support DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery for PnP devices. ** Feel free to contact j5create Technical Support if you have any question regarding the Docking Station. Thank you.
Three months to failure
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After three months, one of the HDMI ports stopped working. I do not recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .In order to narrow down the exact issue you are experiencing, we recommend contacting the Technical Support Team. The USB-C Triple Display Docking Station does have a 2 year limited warranty and they should be able to help you troubleshoot or set up a solution. Their information can be found on our website under the "Support" tab. Sincerely, j5create team.
Poor packaging
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.His was my husbands purchase. Not too happy with it as it does not come with the cord to plug this into the wall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Unfortunately, the JCD543 does not come with the power adapter. The JCD543P does. The Docking Station gets it's power when the host connection is connected to a computer. The USB-C power-in port is needed when you want pass-through charge and extra power added to the USB ports for power hungry USB devices. If your computer came with a USB-C power-brick, you can use that towards the Dock or the JUP2290 is the power adapter for it. Cordially, j5.
Returned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned. Couldn’t get to display two monitors after downloading the appropriate drivers... tech support was less than helpful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hi LanceLynch, I apologize that the Docking Station did not meet your expectations. The JCD543 is considered a PnP and driver base device. If you have the M1 chip, the drivers will not work for HDMI/VGA and Mic but only the HDMI or DP port will work since those are plug and play. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and we'll be glad to assist you. Respectfully, j5create.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.didnt ' work with my macbook air i couldn't figure out why the driver didn't work.... go with one without the driver!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello, the only ports that will require a driver is the HDMI, VGA and Mic. The video ports need drivers to support multiple displays. The HDMI or DP is Plug and Play. Depending on the OS you have, different instructions apply. if you need assistants please contact our support team, a specialist will be more than happy to lend a helping hand. Thank you.
Don't Like It!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Totally worthless!!!!!! I got this to connect to my monitors, however, it just doesn't do the job. I ended up buying a DELL dock.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .honestbot98, Due to the JCD543 being a hybrid docking station where some ports are plug-and-play and others are driver based, you may not achieve full functionality. In order to determine compatibility, we recommend contacting the support team printed on the casing and speaking with a rep; we will be able to look up the make and model of your computer and narrow it down. I sincerely regret to hear about your experience with us and hope we can turn this around.
Respectfully,
