I have a Dell Latitude 3550 laptop that I am trying to connect with a Toshiba Docking Station so I can use a regular keyboard & larger screens. I would like to plug in the laptop through the USB connection and close it. When I hook up to the USB Dock connection, the keyboard and mouse work as they should, but the monitors are not picking anything up.

Any insight would be great.
 
Solution
This will not work.

Whilst the USB function will work, the dock adaptor plate has an embedded socket that controls the external monitors - the Dell won't fit.

You will have to abandon this idea.
