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.

  • 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 8200 docking station

    Hello @ all!

    I have a Tecra 8200 laptop computer and want to install a Docking Station.

    I built everything in.

    But I had a big problem:

    When I take the laptop in docking station that has contact with the Docking Station, the laptop can not find a PCI driver. I can't find this driver Notebook searches. I had installed all the drivers that was available on the Toshiba site.
    But I got the same research memoire.esolutionle Nooteboom PCI card unknown that AIDA can not find.
    And the Nooteboom cannot find the Epansion Station

    The next problem is when I take an E-station IDE cable in a drive hard or on a cdrom drive, it curbs the power for this hardwareparts.

    Could someone help me?
    Thank you

    PS: Excuse my bad English

    Hello

    you have the 1DST PA3018E? It won't be back with the PA3017E Docking Station/Port Replicator.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Using ISA cards in the Tecra 8100/8200 docking station

    Is it possible to use old pc ISA cards in the PCI slots in the Tecra 8100 docking station?
    The Deskstation V Plus for the 8000 series seems to allow dual use in some of its slots so I wonder if it's the same for the 8100/8200 series.

    You can also the Tecra 8100 can be anchored to the Deskstation V to allow access to the ISA slots?

    Hello

    where did you get this with the AIS in the PCI slots? I've never seen a combo slot in my life so I can't believe :)
    But what about the v: Deskstation

    Yes, it can be anchored, it s integrates without problems, then you will be able to use the ISA-machines built slot.

  • Tecra M2 not to close on docking station

    I have a Tecra M2, of which most of the time is used in a docking station. However if I'm on the docking station for laptop computer does not shut down (it sticks to the "Windows is shutting down" screen... unless I have physically remove the laptop from the docking station, and then he finished the process to close.)

    If the laptop is not on the docking station, there is no problem of closure.

    I tried to remove all the devices that are connected to the docking station, but that makes no difference.

    I use v3.65.00.XP Toshiba Mobile Extension.

    Also note that I do not and never have been, a 'disconnect the computer' as an element of Start Menu (there also no "NoStartMenuEjectPC" button anywhere in the registry.

    One last thing; If the laptop is cold (IE only used for a few minutes), then it will sometimes close ok on the docking station.

    Any suggestions very welcome.

  • Tecra M10 - 17 H no support DVI via docking station not

    There is already a message asking this, but I wanted to point out that it is a problem affecting more than one user.

    Too, I bought a Toshiba laptop for my business as it was supposed to be a laptop a serious matter. However, I must say that I am losing confidence that Toshiba understands what needs a company.

    The docking station is frankly a joke. USB KVM will not work with it, probably, there is no PS2 port you can not use a KVM PS2 instead. Even if you could, the VGA dock does not detect the external VGA is present when there is a KVM. Of course, the answer is "simply" open up the laptop and set it up on the Panel, then switch to external whenever you turn it on. How can anyone think that is a response in a business, or any other environment is beyond me.

    Now, I find that my laptop has an Intel graphics card I can't use the DVI port on the dock either. Which is really annoying, is that I could buy a laptop at half price, but wouldn't because I wanted a laptop class business that disintegrates not in respect of the use. I didn't pursue a fantastic graphic option because I did not doing anything fancy either, but graphics without the supported DVI via the dock is just simply ridiculous.

    Now, I regret bitterly, to get rid of the old Dell D/Dock that although several years worked without fault and with DVI, with any old KVM and without any problems at all.

    Sorry for the mug shot, but I am bitterly disappointed that I bought a cheap puppy that I can't afford to write off for a good while yet. Meanwhile despite works well when it works, the laptop is a right royal pain to use when the dock is therefore unnecessary.

    What to tell boyfriend
    Is a really nice laptop Tecra M10 and Portégé series and series Tecra laptop computers Bussines there.

    But it seems that the DVI port on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with ATI graphics card or nVidia.

    I found this Toshiba document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm

    It s on Tecra A9 but maybe that it s a Tecra M10-related too

    Ive just took a Tecra 720cdt with docking station, when the 720 is on display of the battery is ok, when the screen docking station is central 1/2 in. I downloaded drivers but how and what driver do I need to use to reset the docking station for produce size full screen?

    Thank you.

    Windy morning

    As far as I know if you use the right display driver should not be a problem. As far as I know, this unit comes with Win 95 and you can find the right driver on the Toshiba download page. What operating system is running on your device?

    Check also displays the properties on the settings tab.

    Good bye

  • Tecra M11 - 17V - identify the serial port on the docking station

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra M11 - 17V, which I often use with the docking station that accompanies it.
    There is a DB9 serial port at the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port.

    I use Windows 7.

    In the device, COM9 Manager - COM22 are identified as Port BT (bluetooth). Com7 - COM8 are RIM Virtual Serial Port v2, COM17 is Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port and COM18 is USB-Serial CH340.

    I thought that COM17 or COM18 were the most likely candidates, but have not been able to get to answer using one of them.

    I connect a Psion 5 (Comms app) to him and have developed ports and the Psion 8bits, 19200 baud, no parity, 1 stop bit.

    Hello

    > There is a serial port DB9 on the back of the docking station, but I don't know what COM Port, it is

    I think you have misunderstood something wrong
    COM ports in Device Manager are virtual com ports
    There is no link between a serial port and a virtual com port.

    I have a question: what docking station you have exactly?

    I had an express port replicator and this device required an additional serial port driver installation.

  • Tecra A10 - 1GV and Docking Stations: Dynadock vs Express Port Replicator II

    Hello Forum;

    Official Toshiba site proposes to use the Docking Station Express Port Replicator II for laptop A10 1GV.

    I need for my construction work 2 monitors.

    My question: can I use with the Express Port Replicator II two additional monitors at the same time (there are 2 connectors (DVI and analog VGA/RGB). Is it possible to create two different images in this way?
    Some have said, that after a connection with the DVI - D VGA connector is turned off.

    Someone at - he experiences?

    On the other hand Toshiba offeres the Docking-station "Port replicator USB Dynadock U" -.
    This docking station is only connected via USB with the laptop. According to the data sheet - it provides an analog and a digital monitor with different views at the same time, up to 1920 x 1200 pix., extra headphones and 6 x USB 2.0. more network connection

    This official docking station works with all USB-connect computers, but in the compatibility list does not mention the Terca A10 and gives only a declaration of compatibility for the series Toshiba NB200 from Toshiba.

    Someone out there experimenting with this docking station?

    What would be the best way to work with two monitors + the computer screen?

    Thanks for all the good advice.

    Michael

    Hello

    As much as I know Express Port Replicator supports the simultaneous use of RGB & DVI only if the laptop itself also supports the simultaneous use of RGB & DVI.
    So if the Tecra A10 1GV would support the use of RGB and DVI port simultaneously then Express Port Replicator should support too.

    The Port USB Dynadock Port Replicator support VGA or DVI port. I didn't find the Dynadock, which was equipped with two ports together.
    The Dynadock can be connected to all computers with USB 2.0 and it beautiful s expansion.
