Don’t know if anyone can help i cant find anything anywhere about how to get the Thunderbolt4 working not even the Power Delivery (yes the extra 6pin is connected)

I’ve been trying to get me GPD WIN 3 to connect over Thunderbolt but nothing infract it dose not even deliver power nothing.

i am using a intel certificated thunderbolt 4 cable.

i have also tried my eGPU and it dose not see it at all.

So it sounds like ASUS has just given up on this idea? I’ve been struggling with one of the two ports not working for months and only now am I really sitting down to troubleshoot it as I need a 2nd port. The top port works but the bottom port (closest to the PCI slots) does not. Is that what you others are finding?
