• 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 '.

• IdeaPad Yoga 13 + 0A 33970 ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock Station + Windows 10 = no video output?

  All connected to the dock station seems to work fine except for the video output, which does not appear.

  Used to work fine under Win 8.1 but decided to move to Win10 yesterday... ugh.

  I tried to update on the latest software/drivers from DisplayLink and the tray icon says 'No DisplayLink devices detected'.

  Someone at - it advice?

  Finally he got to work!
  You had to use the heavy duty removal tool displaylink, unplug the displaylink to prevent resettlement (the instructions don't tell you this!), and then install the latest driver of Lenovo, then reconnect and let it complete the installation. Phew!

• The docking station is friendly with battery

  Hello!

  First post here, not the user lenovo at the moment but I'll receive a lenovo R61 with mini dock station.

  My question its more general. I heard a lot of time to removed the battery from my laptop when I work in the sector do not overheat and kill the battery life.

  To the docking station, stop charging the battery when it is full.

  Thank you.

  Tom

  Tom, welcome to the forum,

  The battery stops when it is full, whether it's in a cradle or attached to a power adapter.

  Alternatively, you can change the thresholds of charge based on your usage using the software of energy Manager tool that is included.

  Enjoy your new ThinkPad when it arrives.

• 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?

• 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.

  Just a quick note to let you know that I received superb service of all the peoples of Lenovo. They were very helpful and understanding and it took a bit of time, but this issue has been resolved to my satisfaction.

  Thanks for your help.

• 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.

• Triple monitors with Thinkpad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 T520

  Hello

  I have Lenovo T520 with home Mini Dock Plus Series 3 station.

  I would like to connect three monitors, that is, two dviports and thirdly, one is the T520 monitor.

  I updated my video driver for Interl (R) Graphics 3000 Driver.

  When I try to run the NVIDIA Graphicdriver, I got a message error "the graphics driver is not compatible with the graphics hardware. I tried to find a solution on Lenovo forum

  http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/options-Accessories/mini-dock-plus-series-3-with-triple-monitors/TD-p/57...

  It says that I need to enable Optimus in the system.

  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.

• Advanced Docking Station vs T400

  We ordered only 5 Advanced Docking stations for use with our T400s. We were assured that they would work. So they arrive today and imagine my surprise to see that the Ultrabay housing on the side is not compatible with all things ultrabay, we already bought for the T400s.

  An advanced docking station are to the T400 which you know the same connections as the laptop Ultrbay?

  Will be the docks of the art work with the T400, but the Ultrabay Enhanced on the dock slots have old EIDE interface and not the interface Serial ATA of new Txxx, Rxxx, ultrabay Exxx series thin mobile computer, Ultrabay Enhanced and Ultrabay Slim thickness are also different.

  So I guess you forgot to ask also if the docking station advanced is also compatible with the SATA interfaced Ultrabay Slim drive of the T400...

  You will have to wait for the new advanced dock is not yet released as the best to my knowledge.

• 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.

• 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

  Cosmin

  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.
