The video below shows the Samsung Dex Pad (part EE-M5100) unboxing setup and troubleshooting. The Samsung Dex Pad is a dock for a Samsung S8 or S9 that effectively turns the cell phone into a full Chromebook by adding a monitor keyboard and mouse.
There are four issues to be aware of:
- The Dex Station is the older (and less capable) dock built for the S8. It is NOT the same as the Dex Pad.
- You have to use a monitor with HDMI which may be an issue because:
- many monitors are now DisplayPort
- you cannot readily convert HDMI to DisplayPort
- You MUST go through the wizard that appears on the screen
- if you don’t the mouse will move but you can not click on anything and the keyboard will have no impact
- Make sure you buy the one with your countries power pack.
- As you will see in the video, we sourced a UK model, which works fine other than the power adapter was useless to us
