Why won't my notebook power on when connected to my docking station?
Acer Docking stations require a minimum amount of battery charge in your computer before it can be powered on. In general, the charge requirement is around 6%. If the battery has less than 6% charge, the notebook will not power on if it is only connected to the dock. If your dock supports USB type-C connectivity, it will charge the computer until it reaches around 6%. You will then be able to power on the system.
