Surface Pro - from 2017 (when they weren't numbered 1,2,3 ...)
Everything recently fine.
Usually charged in original MS dock.
Recently I bought a 2nd MS Dock for a 2nd location and everything was fine.
But when back in my 1st dock it no longer charges (light is on) and all the peripherals plugged into the dock are working.
Panic when I got a flat battery warning (cause I wasn't expecting it).
Put in the (new) 2nd dock and no charging!
Put in on the original charger and charged up ok.
Back in the 2nd dock and now charges.
But still can't get it to charge in the 1st dock.
What gives?
Can't be the connecter on the 1st dock as it wouldn't charge in the 2nd dock at one stage either?
A dirty contact somewhere? what is good to clean these with?
Some sort of compatibility issue with drivers across docks? Battery drivers?
Any hints appreciated.
edit: just to add, I usually have to restart it to get it to start charging on the 'wall' charger.
