Windows 10: AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not working with Windows 10

I went to this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/aoc-e1659fwu-usb-monitor-not-working-with-windows/cb326ae9-cf49-4c3e-ba6d-9bc25d593811


Still no luck although that was a lot of outdated info. I just want to get it working with windows 10 works fine with windows 7

Can you point me to step-by-step instructions on how to get this monitor working with windows 10?


Thanks for your time.

AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not working with Windows 10

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now my AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not longer works. I can't find any new drivers at the AOC website and can't find anything about drivers on the Microsoft site. Any ideas?

 

AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not working with Windows 10

I decided to try replacing the 36-inch AOC USB3 cable with a 14-inch USB3 cable which came with my WD Passport HD on the AOC E1659Fwu USB powered monitor.

The AOC E1659Fwu USB powered monitor now plays 1080p movies. I picked the monitor up and turned it upside down while playing a movie and the connection was lost. When I leave it alone on the desktop, it appears to keep running, for almost a day now.

My working theory is the monitor isn't getting enough operating voltage through the longer cable provided with the monitor, and under high activity draws more current which exacerbates the AOC insufficient drive voltage problem. A shorter cable = less drop,
higher reliability. This seems to match two other cable replacement experiences related in this thread.

I don't know how much current the AOC draws, how much voltage drop there is at my Surface Book USB connector, how much drop through the cable to the AOC monitor.

A much shorter (almost 1/3 the length) USB3 cable does seem to improve the AOC operation with my Surface Book running Windows 10.

 

AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not working with Windows 10

Hi, I had this same problem. I was using the AOC E1659Fwu USB powered monitor on a Windows 8.1 laptop and it worked fine. Later, that laptop crashed and I bought a brand new one with Windows 10 Pro 64. The AOC monitor did not work. I queried AOC and they
said to uninstall and reinstall the DisplayLink Drivers for Windows 10. I did that and it worked for a just a few minutes until it stopped worked after I walked away from the computer for awhile. I rebooted and got it to run for a few minutes again. The next
day and every day after for the past month it has not worked. At all. I have done everything AOC asked to no avail.

Like you, I started looking around on on the net and found on a Windows Community board that this is definitely a hardware problem and the simply are not compatible. But.....

I also read that someone ditched the proprietary USB cable that came with the monitor and instead used a basic USB to mini-USB cable. The mini part fits into the larger section in the back of the monitor where the proprietary cable had a larger and smaller
male end. Just insert the mini-usb male end into the larger portion of the slot in the back of the monitor. I then plugged the regular USB (probably a 1.0 or 2.0 cable not sure) into the laptop and it IMMEDIATELY worked. No hardware issues. Works perfectly
(For now????)
