    Hi all

    I could be missing the whole idea here but I bought a USB C hub to run multiple UBS 3 + 2 devices off of.

    But the thunderbolt port on the back just makes a sound that I plugged the port in but then nothing else

    It supplies power to my S8 but I cant access it.

    If I plug the hub in to the C port on the left all fine, So I must be not understanding this thunderbolt thing

    Help anyone

    Mike

    No M17X has ever had a usb c. You're looking for the 2015+ AW sub forum
