Does your laptop have other ports to try? Do you have a powered hub to try? Have you tried connecting just the MatrixPortal without any connection to the matrix (especially the power connection.

Using a dock seems to work. Thank you!

Cool. The laptop port doesn't seem to be able to provide enough current to power up the board.
