WD15 dock with Lenovo Laptop - display issue
WD15 Dock used with Dell Latitude 5480 and 5491 Laptops, and monitor, works fine.
When I connect a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 using USB C port, it charges, but does not display on monitor, as above with my Dell laptops.
What can I do to see my Lenovo's screen on above monitor, using the WD15?

@zoci According to Lenovo's specs for the Yoga Slim 7 here (Page 3), it has two USB-C ports, but only one of them supports video output. The other one only supports USB Power Delivery for charging. So try connecting the WD15 to the other USB-C port on your system. Video output is an optional feature of USB-C and therefore isn't implemented on all ports of systems that have USB-C ports. Some systems have USB-C ports and none of them support video.

I plugged in into the other one, USB-C plug, and can see the image on the monitor.

I just purchased the Lenovo yoga i7 today, what i ended up doing is using the other USB-C
(Thunderbolt) port closes to the front of laptop. Now i can see my dual monitors through the DELL WD15 Dock. To keep power i insert power brick USB-C charger into the other USB-C (Thunderbolt ) port closes to the back of the unit. Seems like a waist of a good port, however works.
Just had it one day, if it bothers me so much, I'll just return the Laptop. But must say i do like it also.
