Accepted Answer

I don't think it's the HDMI.
You will certainly have to create the USB-C connection between the notebook and the docking station.
Make sure that the docking station is supplied with power with an external power supply unit.
Switch on the docking station with the push button
and if still no picture is visible via HDMI.
Press the Windows key and the P key together and select Duplicate with the mouse.

Answer

hi joshi, i would first check if the docking station is compatible with the laptop at all. Thinkpad docking stations only work with think-pad lenovo laptops. Here is another compatibility list of devices from Lenovo: https://support.lenovo.com/ch...

If it fits, I would try it with another hdmi cable and reinstall the drivers.
