T42 docking station problem

Hi all.

Having this weird problem with one of T42 our workers. Whenever she connects her T42 in a docking station and close the lid of the laptop, mouse starts to moves around, no emails can be selected in outlook, no option to restart the computer (start-> stop brings to the top of the dialog box, but cannot select anything from there.)

She tried an another dock, but no difference, the same problems.

You have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Lullaby, welcome to the forum,

A few suggestions to try;

(1) replace the TrackPoint cap with the traditional "furry" dome has a profile below.

(2) remove the cap of Trackpoint all together

(3) make sure that the keyboard is installed, disassembly and assembly instructions can be found here (you can try perhaps also bend the keyboard a bit if remove you it)

(4) turn off the Trackpoint using the UltraNav utility or in the BIOS

As you can probably guess, I think that your problem maybe the Trackpoint is in contact with the screen when closed.

Hope this helps

  • Portege M200 - weird display with docking station problem

    Hello

    I use a Portege M200 with MS Windows Vista and the Toshiba docking station. Whenever I connected the system closed down it will start with low light and different screen resolution. The brightness can then be adjusted in Vista.

    To solve the problem, I have to disconnect it, then put it in PC Mode and finally stop Vista. With the next offline boot, it works correctly and can be re-docked. Maybe it's just a lack of understanding of the system? It seems that with a rooted boot, nVidia somehow takes place or is there different profiles?

    Thank you!

    Alexander

    Hello

    At first, I must say that Portege M200 is old enough laptop model and I really wonder that Toshiba supports this model of laptop for Windows Vista. You are really lucky in this regard.

    In any case very important is info which edition of WXP Tablet Toshiba offered tools for/disconnect. If I remember well, it was utilitarian Toshiba Mobile Extension. Using this tool you has been able to use different settings for Bay service as well as for output screen to choose the correct resolution.

    Under Vista it is controlled by Vista and, AFAIK, Toshiba does not have any special utility for this. You must also understand that procedure/disconnect (power switching power supply) is controlled by Vista and I can imagine that under Vista it does not work perfectly.

    My opinion is that there is not much to do, but I hope I'm wrong on this issue. Let's see what else users of forum about this.

  • Tecra A10 - change of resolution with Docking Station problem

    Hello

    I own a Tecra A10 - 14Q and I like it a lot - it is a very beautiful piece of hardware, including the functionality of UMTS.

    When the Tecra is moored to the dock Express, and the external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 22 "with resolution 1600 * 1200) is on defining the Office to be cloned on both screens, passes resolution of 1280 * 800 on the Tecra to 800 * 600 as"best resolution.

    I tried Intel and Mobility Center graphics settings, but I can't find a way to set I want to keep the resolution 1280 * 800.

    Suspicion to do so automatically is welcome. I found that a program that now lies on my desk that I run so it redefines the resolution to 1280 * 800, but I would like to stress that resolution remains just that it is.

    Kind regards

    YaGru

    Hello

    It's not easy to say why the resolution automatically decreases

    But sometimes, if the external monitor would be connected to the Tecra A10 directly without using the Express Docking Station?

    Otherwise the problem could be linked to the dock Express (Replicator of port express?)

    Maybe the 1600 * 1200 resolution on external monitor is too high for the express port replicator and so there are some questions which s my personal suggestion

  • Tecra M5 docking station problems

    Hello

    I don't know if this has happened elsewhere, but my Tecra M5 (Win XP / SP 3 / fully updated on MS) boots when undocked, but hangs on the appearance of the first "Loading Windows" screen Re-booting subsequently always results in the typical menu with SafeMode etc... My amateur solution is to start offline and then just plug it in, but my logic suggests that this may not be the right solution. I have run the reinstallation CD and completely re-formatted the system twice, but anything will do. I'd appreciate more ideas... Thank you & best wishes

    Hello

    As far as I know original Toshiba recovery image is WXP SP2 only. Am I right about that?
    This happens immediately after the clean operating system installation or after the installation of SP3?

    Recovery image has been tested with docking option and it should work. I think it's a problem with SP3 which can have a negative influence on demand for mobile extension. This application is responsible for the own berthing and departure procedure.

  • Portege Z930 - boot with Dynadock docking station problem

    Hello!

    I wonder if anyone here can help.
    It seems impossible to start than my Z930 with the Dynadock (U3.0) attached to it.
    All I get is a blank screen - casting in and external screens are dead.
    Disconnect the Dynadock at this stage has no effect. I have the hard reset of the laptop.

    If I start the Z930 without the Dynadock attached I have no problem - and then I can join the Dynadock and all work just fine.

    So, it is right at boot.

    All the drivers are up to date.

    Is it the way it is supposed to work? Really? Seriously?

    Alex

    Dynadock is designed to work with laptop and this question should not happen.
    Can you please tell us a little more about your laptop?
    Do you use your Portege with factory settings (original preinstalled OS)?
    Which driver Dynadok do you use?
    I assume that in the beginning, everything was OK. Have you noticed this problem a few days later?
    Tell us a little more on the whole issue.

  • Satellite Pro L670 - 11 d and Dynadock U10 problem re-docking station

    This my first post on this forum - I hope I have the right category.

    We have a user with a Satellite Pro L670 - 11 d attached to a port replicator Dynadock U10 USB.

    Everything seems fine, except when press us the disconnect button (or select eject Dock) the laptop leaves the great.
    However when we try to anchor (for example after a meeting of bureau) it does not recognize the usb connection and docking station won't. We usually have to restart at this point. We are attentive to reconnect to the same usb port.

    Has anyone seen this problem and know a fix?

    Thank you

    David

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem only under this Dynadock U10 or perhaps with the external USB HDD too?
    In my opinion, it sounds a bit like the issue of the BONE and not like the Dynadock question.

    I would recommend this control by using a USB HDD.
    Connect the USB HDD to the USB port as well.
    Then, disconnect the USB HDD and unplug the laptop HARD drive. Reconnect the HARD drive and check if the HARD drive would be connected again.
    If the same thing would happen with HARD drive, you should check the USB port
    Maybe the chipset driver will need to be updated

    But if the HARD drive is raccorderaient ok and if the question does not seem to be using the HARD drive, then, it would be necessary to check the Dynadock maybe reinstall the Dynadock from the software again.

    Hello.

    We have two laptops with two docking station. Two laptops with docking station have the same problem:

    When the computer is off and its still connected to the docking station, the fan in the computer to run very fast starting. The fan turns on for a while. That's a lot of noise, which can be annoying to the person using the office. When the computer is turned on, the fan runs at normal speed. If you disconnect the computer from the docking station, the fan stops immediately. Any ideas?

  • Problem Audio Line Out HP Docking Station A7E36AA #ABB

    Hello

    I have the Elitebook 8570p (Win7 Pro x 64) and the Docking Station A7E36AA # ABB

    I plugged my speakers with audio line out of the docking station, but the sounds of music 'flat', without no bass.

    I tried the same speakers with the line out of the elitebook directly and it works.

    I thought that the reason for this is the docking station.

    Yesterday I got from the docking i11X REPLACEMENT, plugged my speakers with its audio line out and got the same failure: his flat without bass.

    Same again: directly after my elitebook, all works.

    I reinstalled the audio driver from the hp supportpage

  • X 1 carbon output problem with Onelink docking station

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Thinkpad X carbon 1 in which I can get resolution of 1920 x 1080 on my external monitor (capable of 2560 x 1440), when connected via HDMI using among Dock port but when I connect via direct X carbon 1 display port, I can get the full resolution I want. I've updated the firmware of the docking station Onelink and the pilot video X 1 carbon, what can I do else? Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance!

    On OneLink port hdmi port is hdmi 1.3 only, so it doesn't support resolution qhd. You should get the dock pro OneLink with its integrated displayport.

  • I have a problem with the USB3 Kensington docking station.

    Original title: Kensington USB3 Dock

    This device worked perfectly until today when the audio and LAN work ceased. Device Manager shows no drivers for these 2 items. The display works fine, USB ports very well.

    Tried to search manually and automatically for drivers, but nothing helped.

    Hi Mike,.

    Have you tried the steps suggested in the previous post?

    After you complete the steps suggested, if the problem persists always answer here. And we will help you further. We at Microsoft tender towards excellence.

    Hello

    Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I did everything above and nothing helped at all. Ethernet and Audio via the docking station USB 3.0 still does not work.
    Then I found the updated driver from the supplier of chipset used in the dock of Kensington (Displaylink) here:
    http://www.DisplayLink.com/support/SLA.php?fileID=95 - it's called DisplayLink USB graphics for Windows software version 7.3 M1 dated July 12, 2013.
    I had already tried the versions 7.2 M1 (as dated May 10, 2013) and 7,2 M0 (dated April 3, 2013), but they did not resolve the issue.
    Sorted!
    Hope this helps others.

  • Docking Station and cursor problem

    I have recently started having problems with command of the slider either with a mouse or press the key when the computer is in the docking station.  When I try a page scrolling, it tends to jump in such a way that the top is not visible or accessible.  There is no problem when the computer is not in the docking station.  I loaded 7 system several months ago, but this problem started last week.  I did a system restore to three weeks, but it did not help.  Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Problem solved--one of the mouse was bad and scrambled with other mice and touchpad.

  • Latitude docking station USB E6520 problem

    Hello

    I really didn't believe that anyone is placed to help me solve this problem, but bad him give a coz it is reallt weaird and boring.

    So, I use a docking station for my dell, it has 5 USB ports (3 left) and 2 in the back.

    Now I use a logitech wireless mouse. Whenever I plug the receiver of mouse usb to one of the ports left, it works fine. If I use the 2 on the back, it lags like hell and it seem to be stuck in each procces action, such as moving files on explore etc.

    But it's not the most anyoing thing im expiriencing...

    I wanted to make my life esier, so I bought a usb to mini-pcie adapter, this one:

    And I plugged my mouse receiver to it - it works great! BUT WAIT, if the laptop is not connected to the docking station! If this is the case, im get exactly the same problem I would connect the mouse receiver in the back of the docking station...

    I tried to reinstall the usb root hubs, but it has not changed anything. It's weird as hell.

    I would really aprichiate if someone could help me with this problem. RLY.

    I solved the problem, I'm not sure if that was the cause, but let me show what I did:

    So at first, please look at this picture:

    The way in which these 2 niches is met is not natural, what I mean, is that at the beginning I only had the wan card and housing was free. But, before you install the usb card dongle I had to move the slot sataflash slot wan wan card and insert the dongle usb connector wan. Why? See the place I (square?) circles with red color. This border metal had to close and the dongle for a long time so it wouldn't fit.

    In this way, it was buggish and when I turned the switch wasn't working my mouse instead of wireless...

    What I did to solve this problem:

    I pulled some of the side shell of metal with sharp pliers and I replaced the cards for cracks (label name network extended wan, usbdongle in the sataflash slot).

    Everything seems to work so far.

  • MacBook Air for Docking Station connection problem

    I am trying to connect a MacBook Air to another monitor via a Kensington docking station, but they do not communicate. The additional monitor is sent immediately to sleep. If I connect Air to the monitor directly everything works fine, but I want to simplify my life with the docking station. Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, I understood the question. It seems that the original DisplayLink software I was using was not correct. After connecting with Kensington, they gave me info on a new beta driver and it works fine.
