    I always plug the egpu dock into port 1 though 4 also works.
    The dmesg error happens on 1, 4 and 5.
    It just keeps repeating the error in dmesg until I unplug.
    The gpu always starts to spin up and the speakers make a clicking sound.

    I am now back on 3.07 with the egpu dock plugged in and working:

    When the issue occurs, are the affected ports still capable of charging via the adapter? I want to confirm if the power negotiation fails entirely.
    We are investigating a known issue where PD functionality may fail following the v4.02 BIOS update. We have confirmed that when this occurs, the affected ports stop charging entirely (negotiation failure).
    While we are still working on a reliable reproduction case, we have identified two recovery paths:

    1. BIOS Reflash: Forces a re-initialization of the PD firmware.
    2. G3 Hardware Reset: Disconnecting both AC and the internal battery to completely drain the standby power rails.

    I am not 100% sure of what I should test for you.
    I have had issues before v4.02 with charging from the egpu dock. Sometimes it would charge from the dock sometimes it wouldn't. I always plugged in another usb charger in another port because of this annoying issue.

    So for v4.02 do you want me to:

    1. Flash v4.02
    2. Disconnect the battery and ac.
    3. Test if the laptop can charge via usbc?
    4. Plug in the dock see if it charges from the dock
    5. Unplug the dock see if it can be charged from the port where I just unplugged the port?
      If you write step by step instructions for me I can test and protocol the results for you in the new year.

    Otherwise you can get: TH3P4G3 PD 60W 85W on aliexpress or similar and plug in some gpu to test yourself.

    Updated to 4.03 BETA.
    Plugging in the egpu repeatedly yields error 256 and sometimes UCSI_GET_PDOS failed with various error codes.
    If I unplug the egpu again and plug in a charger it charges fine.

    Replugging the battery does not change anything. I get the same errors and the egpu dock is not detected properly.

    Even on v3.7 power negotiation sometimes fails.
    So when I plug it in, the charge symbol appears on the battery for a second and then fails and doesn't charge.

    When the egpu is detected correctly, no charging happens and I have to use another power cable to also charge my laptop.

    Can you reproduce the problem with other EGPU docks?

    @JohnAZoidberg This is still an issue with the latest 4.04 and a clear regression. 3.07 is the last version that works. I would like to be able to use my egpu as before with newer versions of the firmware. This is quite frustrating and disappointing as this worked flawlessly in the past.
