OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock randomly turning off and on, MacBook Pro Monterey
I have two OWC Thunderbolt 3 docks - one at work, one at home. The one at
work has never given me a single issue. The one at home randomly turns
off and on. If it happens while I'm using my system, the external monitor
goes off and on, which is quite annoying while trying to work. If it happens
overnight or when not in use, I get multiple warning messages for not
properly ejecting the external hard drive. Furthermore, I bought a third
OWC dock (thinking there was something wrong with dock #2) and installed
it at home. I get the exact same problems. After searching the blogs,
I tried resetting NVRAM (shutdown, CMD-OPTION-P-R) and it seemed to
fix the problem for a couple hours, then it started happening again. As a
last resort, I bought a UPS to eliminate possible power issues in the home
office. This did not solve the problem. So...how do I fix this? Or is there
a better dock out there that won't cause this problem? And of course, why
does this not happen with dock #1 in the work office? Thanks!
