I'll skip the rest of the story, and cut to the instructions, but if you're interested then further below you'll find that I've elaborated on some points. (Pity I didn't test the sound out jack, or the ethernet connector.) No sign of life from any of the USB ports - both the rectangular USB-A style ports on the front and back, and the round USB-C / Thunderbolt port on the front, were all completely dead. No signal on either of the two DisplayPort ports. (Honestly, though, this is just my guess, so I'd be interested to know from someone who knows more than I do why the HDMI port was the only functioning port on the entire device.) Otherwise, nothing else worked. How bricked was it? Totally bricked! Interestingly, the HDMI port worked, but I assume it is just a pass-through from the MacBook M1's Thunderbolt port to which it was connected. I really didn't like that thought, so I took it home and plodded away each week after work for a couple of weeks, and eventually after some 20-30 hrs (I'm persistent) I resuscitated it, took it through rehab, and now it's as good as new! *\o/* Needless to say it was about to become landfill. I brought the Dell D6000 home from work because (a) we're all working from home anyway with Omicron circulating, and (b) it was sitting there, dead as a doorknob, completely non-functional and disconnected from the wall plug, cables everywhere, and nobody cared or had a clue how to get it to work. I don't think it's possible to de-brick a D6000 without a Windows machine, but if I'm wrong about this then I'd appreciate any suggestions for macOS users. Thankfully, my Raspberry Pi 400 running Windows 11 sufficed. Second caveat: To de-brick my D6000, I needed to get my hands on a Windows machine because I couldn't find a way to do it from my MacBook Air M1. or scroll down if you don't care and just want the instructions I won't know.įirst caveat: I'm offering advice, not taking responsibility for what you do I hope it works for you, but please don't take the steps below unless you accept responsibility for the consequences I had to take responsibility for my own actions, and I expect others will use their head and take their responsibility so what follows is simply a re-run of what I did, which worked for me, in the hope that it will help others too. I've just managed to get my Dell D6000 dock to work seamlessly on my MacBook Air M1 running macOS Monterey 12.2, so I thought I'd share the three steps (see points 3-5, below) you'll need to take to get yours fully functional (obviously there are differences between systems, but it worked a charm for me and if your D6000 is bricked, make that five steps (see points 1 and 2, below).īut first, two caveats and a short background before the instructions. Mac Monterey 12.0.1 (the earliest avail to public i believe)ĭid you find a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue. Managed to get it to work once, but taking the cable out and in again replicates this issue and I was unable to get it to work again. Replugging them in all orders (power>usbA>display, power>Displays>usba) Updating D6000 drivers on my windows pc (port works there so i know is the drivers communicating with mac issue) Even tried connecting the usb adapter with the usbC port but it doesnt seem to recognize. I tried connecting a usb adapter onto the free port of my Macbook, and the peripherals work fine. It charges fine through them, but I’m unable to use a mouse or a keyboard. Multi display works fine on my MacBook Pro 13 M1, but a (very) jarring issue is that the D6000 is unable to recognize any peripherals through all 4 USB-A ports and even USB-C. I will go ahead and mark this support thread as closed.Made a recent purchase to try out the multi display feature with D6000 DisplayLink provides detailed installation instructions for the App here ( ) please note, by default the DisplayLink software will not launch after restart, steps 5.4 through 5.6 details enabling the software at login.Download the new DisplayLink Manager App from DisplayLink’s website here ( ) release version 1.0.0 from June 22nd.Remove the currently installed DisplayLink software following these instructions ( ).To install the new App I recommend we start with removing the older driver following these instructions: This App just came out with a full release and is available directly from DisplayLink but will hopefully be in the Mac App Store soon. Working through direct email the displays are back up and working after installing the DisplayLink Manager App for MacOS 10.15.ĭisplayLink has released a new DisplayLink Manager App that no longer relies on the KEXT driver.
