I am looking at purchasing a docking station for my p50 however I am seeing some comments about the dock blocking the air vents. Anyone see this or experience issues with this?
Read other answersI recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

Read other answersHello - My x220 does not lock into Mini Docking Station Series 3 that I bough recently. The rubber pads on the battery seem to be preventing the laptop from being docked. (Not sure if I am doing something wrong instead.) Also I am trying to set up a multi monitor display ( Dell U2415). Will appreciate some inputs on how I should resolve both the issues or a link if that has been covered before .
Read other answersHi!
I have a Latitude E7740 that runs Ubuntu Xenial (16.04). I dock it to a "Dell EURO2 Advanced E-port II" docking station.
If I boot it in the docking station, everything works fine, and I find all my two DVI-connected monitors.
However, if I undock, then put it into the dock again while running, it fails to enable the screens. I'm using a script called autorandr for switching between display modes - it uses xrandr. It tries to run:
xrandr --output DP1-1 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 0x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normal --output DP1-2 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 1920x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normal
But the X server responds with:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Serial number of failed request: 48 Current serial number in output stream: 48
Running this exact command after booting in the dock is doing the right thing, but after undocking then docking, it doesn't work.
Any ideas here? I have updated to the latest BIOS version.
Problem also reported in launchpad with lot's of debug info, here:
bugs.launchpad.net/.../1585884
Autorandr script is here: github.com/.../

Read other answersI purchased a refurb'd IBM THINKPAD 570. It has the docking station. I have never worked with a laptop before and do not know anything about them. My question is: If I am not using the CD/DVD, or floppy, what, if any, are the advantages to keeping it docked? If I play music in the Windows Media Player, does the docking station improve the sound quality?
...the docking station is just there so you don't have to screw around with cables every time you get into work. They don't improve anything except time management.

I have an old internal hard drive I want to purchase a docking station for if it's possible. I'm not sure what I need but here are a couple I'm looking at:
OImaster USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure 270° Rotatable Design Docking Station for 7mm 9.5mm 2.5 Inch SATA HDD/SSD Tool Free [UASP Supported] Black
FIDECO USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station for 2.5/3.5 Inch SATA HDD SSD, USB Sata Dock with Offline Clone Function, Support 2X 10TB, Tool-Free
Info on hard drive
Not sure what other information I need to supply at this time?
Since the ST31000524AS is a 3.5" hard drive, your first choice of an enclosure above will not work.
I put my (new) Elitebook 8460p into a (new) HP 90W Docking Station. The docking station does not have a lock. I turned the laptop off but it won't eject from the docking station. The eject button only goes down about 1/8". Does anyone know of a way to release the laptop when the docking station eject button does not work?
I too am having the same issue. Is there a solution to this? I'm ready to yank the laptop out of the docking station...

HD Docking station
Hi,
I bought an external HD recently & transferred from my PC's HD a 50GB backup file but, when I tried to see the stored file it did not work & had to return it.
I would like some advise on the item below, if anyone is using it.
If I put a HD in it can I transfer files from my PC to it?
Generic USB2.0&E-SATA To 2.5"/3.5" SATA Multi-Function HDD Docking Station All In One Card Reader
Hi does anyone know of a usb 3.0 docking station for 3.5" and 2.5" sata drives that runs off the usb power? ie no power supply thanks.
I would think that 3.5" drives would require more power than USB could provide. I don't recall seeing many of those. 2.5" laptop drives should be okay with just USB power.
Read other 3 answersFile Transfer - Help Wanted
It will be from the old computer running Windows XP to a new computer running Windows 7.
The old computer has files which I have accumulated over a number of years, it is a mixture of those used rarely, used frequently and junk.
The chances are some of the files will never be used again, but they just might be wanted at some future date. I am therefore reluctant to scrap anything. Neither do I want to put a lot of possibly unnecessary files on the new computer.
I need to be able to search the old hard drive and recover a file if it is wanted.
The old computer is about 9 years old and is slow and may not be worth upgrading.
I now have two computers and one monitor and I am not sure what would be the best route.
I have not used a Docking Station before but thought this could be a possibility, on Amazon I found:

Hi, It does not have docking port therfore any USB port replicator will do.

Read other 1 answersI am struggling with my docking station for my ThinkPad 480s. I have two docking stations. One by Lenovo type 40AJ and the other by DELL. The dual monitor DP setup resets every 3 to 5 minutes causing the monitors to go black with the Lenovo UltraDocking Station. So I switched out that docking station with the DELL universal docking station. When I use the USB C/Thunderbolt port the same thing happens. When I use the USB 3 port, I have no problems. I have looked in the event viewer and I can see where the laptop switches from external to battery power, but nothing else. Also, I have updated the drivers for Thunderbolt. Has anyone seen and resolved this issue?

Read other answersHi guys I've been having myself the T430S for a while now. I'm truly in love with the machine and have been modding it left and right.I use it daily for university and have in total three batteries and a multibay battery. Always on remote, pretty much. THE QUESTION:I'm looking to get myself a compatible docking station so that I don't always have to unplug all the cables when I leave the house the next day. However, I've been googling and googling, without success. Is there no docking station available for this series? I'm not to keen on the external 'dockings' as I don't really need them for multimonitor setup. The main reason of getting a docking would be the charging funcitonality and not having to go through the hassle of unplugging cables every single day. Besides, I have my desktop for multiple monitors. Thanks in advance for your reply Kian Van Landeghem

Read other 2 answersHey everybody
I am wanting to get a good Laptop Docking Station that I can have at the house to easily plug my laptop in when I get home, so I can use it on my Vizio TV
I've been checking around, but can't find one with a good rating from CNET, and just wondering if anyone had any ideas.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 9300. Thanks
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using a Non-Toshiba supplied "docking station" on a Toshiba consumer grade "Satellite" laptop ?
I had purchased one of Toshiba's PA3575U-1PRP dynadock U Universal USB Docking Stations, but found the video performance so bad that I returned it. Even non-movie type applications, such as loading web pages, were excruciatingly slow, choppy and painful. And yes, my Toshiba laptop is up to the task being a late model with Dual Centrino Core 2 processor / 2-GB RAM / 7200RPM drive / 128-MB of shared video.
I see where both Belkin and Kennington offer similar units. (Note, on the NewEgg site the Kennsington model is also rated as being very poor in video response as well !!) There may be others ?
What has been your experience and your recommendation ??
Ideally, I want to be able to connect my Toshiba laptop with a single cable and not have to mess around screwing in the monitor cable, along with plugging in the PS2 plugs for the mouse and keyboard. Something you have to do if you simply rely on just a USB port extender.
Thanks
