• T500 compatibility with Advanced Mini Dock 2504

  Help please!

  I have a mini advanced docking station 2504 I used with my R61 successfully for a few years.

  I recently bought a T500 and was informed by the sales department that my existing 2504 advanced mini dock would be compatible with the T500.

  When I use the mini dock with the T500 no USB port works not at all?

  All the solutions or do I need a different mini dock.

  they are definitely compatible.

• Battery ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock (250410U) display will not extend

  I have a T400 (2764 CTO with a Radeon HD 3400), an Acer 23 "monitor and an advanced Mini Dock (part 250410U, model 2504). I am trying to expand the display of the T400 to the Acer monitor via a VGA cable. When I plug the monitor directly into the laptop, the screen extends. However, when I dock the T400 and connect the monitor to the Mini Dock, I can't get a signal on the screen. Any thoughts? Thank you.

  the same behavior occurs with the Intel GPU mode is?

• T400 and Advanced Mini Dock - does not detect DVI monitor

  I have a T400 with integrated graphics and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and I recently bought an Advanced Mini Dock for it.  I have a Dell 1800FP monitor connected to the dock via the DVI output.  When I anchor the T400, the system does not detect the external monitor.  If I go to the resolution of the screen and click on detect, it does not appear.  The weird part is that if I reboot then than in the dock, when the system comes back he * is * detect and use the external monitor.

  Any ideas what's happening?  Other equipment connected by the base (USB, Ethernet cable devices) all work very well.

  I think I solved this problem.  I uninstalled my video driver and installed the latest version from the Lenovo Web site (which was more recent than the one found by Lenovo System Update).  Now my system properly detects the external monitor when I attach to the docking station.

• T400 and Advanced mini dock

  Hi - I have a T400 with integrated graphics card and I'm looking into getting a mini dock advanced to run an external monitor.

  What output resolution has done with success through the advanced mini dock VGA port? -This will help me understand which monitor to get, I read that many had bad signal of the dock when using the VGA port.

  As my T400's only integrated graphics, I won't be able to use the port DVI - is this still true or something changed?

  Your comments would be much appreciated,

  Thank you

  Hi cosma12,

  Your T400 with integrated graphics can digital video output through integrated DisplayPort or DVI connector on the advanced Mini dock. It is only the switchable T400 graph that cannot use DVI with integrated graphics card, they must use the ATI chip instead.

  Graphics from Intel in the T400 can drive 1920 x 1200 on DVI or DisplayPort - which I think is the highest resolution, supported by the single-link DVI. If you are shopping for monitors, I highly recommend to make one with a digital input: DVI / HDMI / DisplayPort. the video quality is theoretically (and practically) better than when using analog (VGA).

  EDIT: Oops, the T400 (and R400) do NOT have the DisplayPort, while the largest do T500/R500. My bad.

  Maybe there is something wrong with the Soyo is EDID? Or a bad interaction with the T500 BIOS?

  I would be grateful for clues on how to get the start screen to display on the monitor 24 ".

  Thank you

  Frank

  Good news! I sent my T500 in-service, and Lenovo replaced the motherboard. Now, the startup screen is correctly displayed via the dock to my monitor's DVI port external 24 ". After what Linux / X sees the external monitor and it puts in place and it displays correctly. So: problem solved! Thanks, Lenovo

  Before the swap of the Board of Directors system, I was able to use a cable DVI DisplayPort / talk to the 24 "monitor. This requires an extra cable to plug/unplug, so it's nice to finally have the DVI dock work.

  It seems that this problem only arises with some ThinkPad + external monitor combinations. My original system card worked fine with a 19 "monitor. And another Member pointed out that a single version of a 19 "works fine with its T500 Belinea monitor, even if a previous version does not. (See this thread for more details.)

• W520 config 2 monitors via Mini Dock 3

  Hello

  I have a W520 with NVidia Quadro 2000 M and 2 monitors Dell U2515H x.

  The user guide Dell said to allow 1.2 DP that I did on both monitors.

  I have the W520 on a Mini Dock 4338 and monitor 1 is linked to via a DisplayPort cable.

  Monitor 1 I have then a DP cable into the output port will monitor 2 via the port.

  My problem is that I can't get a double on both screens Dell display. When I use the control panel NVidia (version 8.1.870.0) & try to set up multiple monitors it shows a single monitor.

  I looked in customization, click on detect, it shows the two valleys as monitor 1.

  I want to thank the views. Any help appreciated.

  I can't understand what he found where I can activate Optimus?

  You guys have any suggestions as to how I can put it up using two DVI ports instead of use the vga?

  Kind regards

  Thank you all guys.

  While constantly looking for a solution to extend the number of monitor. I managed to find a solution. Today, I had "I - TEC USB 2.0 graphics video card" and he connected with one of the USB port. It works very well and I am also pleased with the video quality. I can separately used the third monitor. It is also possible to share the display between the second and the third screen.

• W530 and Mini Docking Station - monitor not displaying at boot time

  I have a W530 (2441A 53) and I just the mini docking station for it (433835U). We are using PGP Desktop, then when I start my laptop, it prompts me for a PGP password. The monitor does not display it for me at all. I have to go to the laptop, open it and enter the password (well, actually, I think I can probably get on the keyboard that I use with the monitor, but I don't see what is happening, and the docking station is in an uncomfortable situation). Once I get the password, and the machine gets more in the boot process, and then the screen finally shows what happens, and it's very well after this point (well, not exactly - it is not about taking advantage of the resolution of my screen - but I am not concerned about it right now).

  Is there a setting I should do in the BIOS, Control Panel, etc., so that the monitor can function during startup?

  In the BIOS, set the graphic display to the detection of Optimus discreet and set to 'disabled '.

• X 220 + mini Dock Plus Series 3 no = no eSATA

  Hello!

  Today, I tried to use the eSATA connection on my Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with my X 220 (4290-W1B). According to the users manual, it should work and that there should be an option to toggle the eSATA connection in BIOS-> Security-> access to the Port of IO. But isn't! The dock would be defective?

  Of course, it is, as stated in the manual user and by many users themselves.

  in any case: Solution:

  1. step: Activate HDD/Ultrabay option in BIOS

  2 step: Use a disk external DRIVE with separate power supply, as the eSATA on the dock connection is _not_ powered!

• Audio input/output ports Thinkpad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with inactive W520

  I have 3 laptops W520 and 3 Thinkpad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 docks. The audio 1/8 "output audio and MIC ports are not detected by Windows. In the sound settings, the high definition Audio Device is always disconnected. I read that there was a problem with background sound via ports audio on an earlier execution of these docks, but the production on these date are all 11/07 (after Lenovo solved the problem). Someone had a similar problem? The ports are inactive for the W520 by design?

  Solution:... drivers. Should have checked that first. I thought that our support office would have done that. I thought wrong.

• ThinkPad W700 Mini Dock 2.0

  Hi all

  I just ordered a week ago a new Thinkpad W700 with W700 Mini Dock 1.0 (43R8782) and I always look forward to receive. Today I received an email from Lenovo telling me my order was changed and the Mini Dock was cancelled due to the EOL (End Of Line?).

  I went back to the Lenovo Web site and I found the same Mini Dock still listed and available for order. I also found a new Mini Dock 2.0 (57Y4345) for the same price, but the power 170W (41R4421) is not included. Food costs an additional $ 100. There is of course NO difference between the old model and the other beside the fact that food is not included more.

  Now, I understand Lenovo need to make money somewhere, but is not illegal to do something like that? I don't think that here in Quebec there is what is called a false statement or taking advantage of the customer? If the new docking station was much cheaper I would probably bite the bullet and just order it, but it's crazy.

  Am I the only one here who thinks that there is a problem with that? Especially since I already placed my order in good faith, and even when they say it is no longer available, it is still listed as available on the site? What can I do about it?

  Thanks for your thoughts.
