Mini Dock more Series 3 - is - do I have to connect the dock and the laptop or just the dock?

My laptop not charging when I plug the adapter to the back of the stand.

When I'm on the dock with the adapter plugged into the laptop, if I hover over the Green battery in the system tray icon, it tells me that I should plug the dock:

"Alternating current is detached from your docking station.  Good battery charging and docking station operation, connect the AC adapter to the docking station. »

I'm not supposed to use two separate power adapters, am I? (One for the dock and one for the laptop)?

I think I might have a bad dock.

you have that to plug in the dock, you don't need to be plugged into taking the laptop when you are connected.

Remove the battery and anchor the laptop and press the button, does it start?

  • 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!

  • 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 '.

  • 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.

  • 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.
