The AOC E1759fwu USB 3 monitor. The screen stand tucks away neatly on the back of the screen. Image: AOC When a laptop is your main computer, you don't get the luxury of spreading out on screen.
This monitor I purchased seems to be having a driver problem I cannot resolve. Problem: The monitor will not turn on when plugged in. The AOC sign will flash on showing that it is being plugged in; the device model number also shows up under Device Manager, however, it is shown under Other' and not 'USB Display Adapters,' with an error Code 28. Multiple rounds of installing/reinstalling AOC-supplied and DisplayLink-supplied drivers and software have failed. Every single instance results in the same flash of the logo with then a blank screen and a listing on Device Manager under 'Other' the shows Code 28 in the properties dialog.


Attempted Solutions: Like I mentioned above, I have reinstalled the software several times and using several packages. I haven't tried other cables because the device clearly connects over, it just has a driver issue of some sort. I have also tried using another computer (same model) and surprisingly it works there. It is the exact same model and configuration laptop, except the laptop works perfectly with the monitor; I doubt there is a hardware defect on the monitor. I'm half tempted to copy and paste their install files over mine and see what happens, but I though I wold try to exhaust all other troubleshooting options first. I went ahead and used the support file software to create the support RAR and I've attached it here.
I have the same issues and after following these instructions it says it's already up to date. So I eventually got the monitor working, but it involved reinstalling the USB hub/controller driver. What happened was that I had given up on trying to fix the monitor and went to plug in a different device. That device was not working either, so I eventually reinstalled the USB hub/controller drivers through windows.
After that, the other device started working. Eventually I went back to the monitor and it worked as well. Since then I've used two different USB monitors, and they've both been working perfectly fine.
