2700 Ultra-Slim Expansion Base Tablet Compatibility

Hey guys, I have an HP 2730p Tablet and an HP 2700 Ultra-Slim Expansion Base. I love the base, it makes going from home to work much easier, but when I got to tablet orientation, the secondary monitor output is at the wrong orientation. I have identified the expansion base as the issue and have no idea if there is a simple software setting or tweak I can use to continue using this awesome product.

Dv7-2173ca expansion base

Hi,
does anyone know which expansion base is compatable with the DV7-2173ca? Thanks.

Hi,
Based on the following specs, it does not have any docking port therefore no option. Machine only has USB ports and I can't find any docking station uses Express card slot.

Elitebook 850 g1 2013 ultra slim dock

I recently acquired an HP Elitebook 850 G1 and the 2013 Ultra Slim Dock. I have twi situations, both related that I cannot determine the cause and ultimately resolve. I've configured the power parameters (so I thought) not to allow the laptop in to sleep or hybernate mode when plugged in. While this works when laptop is not docked, when docked I end up having to hold the power button on the dock to completely shutdown the laptop. The second, which only happens when docked, the screen response is extremely sluggish. I've updated all the drivers I could locate. Not sure where to go from here.

Hello @MurrayB
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP Elitebook 850 G1 is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime: HP EliteBook 850 G1 Base Model Notebook PC.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Feedback on Targus ultra-slim hard drive

I have an 80 GB hard drive on my PBook but use only approximately 30 GBs. and that figure, of course, includes all contents of the operating system. At home (in Canada), I have an 80 GB. LaCie external hard drive, enabling me to back up on a regular basis for safety purposes.
We spend most of the winter months in Northern California and the O.S. instal disks always come with us. The remainder of the info is backed up on DVD-RW's.....a process I find to be very time-consuming. I have therefore been thinking of a very portable hard drive made by Targus, Ultra-Slim Pocket Model ADH01US 40GB, which weighs only 3.5 ozs. and fits in a shirt pocket and this would be perfect for our needs.
I would be extremely interested in any feedback—pros and cons—if anyone has any experience with this hard drive.
As always....thanx in advance!!
PowerBook G4, 768 RAM, 80 GB H.D. Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I was just looking around for some reviews on the drive, but I couldn't find anything comprehensive. I did come across a brief Cnet review here, which mentioned a few pros, cons, and alternatives. I've never heard of the drive before so I really can't give any advice on it aside from the fact that I think it looks nice and small (don't misplace it!). Good luck!

Expansion base xb3000 - compatible with new HP laptops?

Good morning all!
I am currently using a DV8305 laptop connected to a xb3000 expansion base. It is a great set up! I would like to get a new laptop (something in the DV7 range) and use it with my old xb3000. The problem is, none of the new HP laptops are listed in the online compatibility list (and I dont want to buy a new expansion base.) The xb3000 appears to have an Expansion Port 3 connector (as do selected HP laptops), so it should work.... or would it?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ian

View Solution.

I am using the xb3000 with my new DV7-1135NR and it works perfectly. I bought an xb 3000 power supply on Ebay for about $15.00 and noted that the output is 18.5v and 4.9amps. The power supply for my DV7-1135NR is 18.5V and 4.9 amps. Electronics experts tell me that the difference is completely negilble and harmless.
Suggest you check your laptop power supply against the above, and make sure you have or acquire one with the base expansion port on the left side of the laptop.
Mine is working perfectly, charges my laptop and powers it during operation. No problems whatsoever. All of the features of the xb3000 (i.e. usb ports, volume control, power switch, etc) are active and completely functional.
I might add that HP tech support (if you can call it that!!) kept me on chat and subsequently on the phone for 30 minutes before advising me that my laptop was NOT compatible with the xb3000. Further, they could NOT identify the drive that is compatible with the drive bay on the xb3000. Just for info, HP sells an adapter for $19.00 that allows HP mini drives to be used in the xb3000. The mini drives are sold direct on the HP website is the adapter and they are very reasonably priced. As a matter of fact, priced much better than the one dimensional and proprietary drives originally sold for the xb3000.
Well, lots of info here. Hope this helps. Good luck and best regards,

Expansion base USB ports & hard drive no longer recognized

I have an HP dv5000 laptop and the xb2000 expansion base with a built-in hard drive in the base. I routinely undock the laptop while it's running and plug it back in again and have no problems. Yesterday, I undocked as usual, but then shut the laptop down while it was undocked. Then I put it back in the expansion base and booted up again. The problem is that now I can no longer see the hard drive in the expansion base and the USB ports for the expansion base will also not work.
The really sad part is that this is a new expansion base because the same thing happend about a month ago, but I thought it was a hardware problem and just bought a new base.
Can anyone please help me get my laptop to see the hard drive in the base and also get the USB ports working again as well?
Thanks,

I tried to post a reply on a computer with Internet Explorer 8 RC1. My CPU would always be 100% busy as soon as I hit the Reply button.
I complained to HP Support and was told that this forum is not compatible with IE 8. So, I am now on a computer with IE 7. UPDATE: I just executed C:\WINDOWS\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe and my HP Notebook reverted back to IE 7 without any problems so far. I am now able to edit this reply (without my CPU being 100% busy)!
I had exactly the same problem with all USB Ports and the optional 160GB USB Hard Drive being nonfunctional, immediately after Microsoft
Update (Custom) finished installing recommended driver "Cypress - Other hardware - HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2).
The device appeared in Device Manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, as "HX2LP Kit (3.03.0000.2)". I uninstalled the device but
after a restart it was there again.
I executed System Restore to a date before the Cypress drivers were downloaded and installed.
All xb2000 USB Ports, the USB Hard Drive and Sound now work as before. I have been using a mouse and printer plugged into the xb2000 today. Also,
I completed a Windows Live OneCare, complete backup, to the Hard Drive in the xb2000 base, today.
The one thing that I hate about my xb2000 is that the Hard Drive keeps spinning as long as the Hard Drive Power Adaptor is connected to
the base. I use "Safely Remove Hardware" on the task bar to safely remove the USB drive and then disconnect the Power Adaptor from the base. If I leave the disk spinning, after a few minutes I get a very loud clicking sound which sounds like something inside the drive is beating on the hard drive chassis. Maybe it is the arm which holds the heads. Complaints to HP have not resulted in a solution to these aggravations.

Expansion base and dock stations

i love expansion base and my dock station xb3000, the speakers are great, is fantastic, i bought my last laptop because i could connect with, so i want to know if HP is going to do more expansion base,
two years ago i bought a souchsmart tx2 `1015, onlu because had expansion base
now my old presario is to slow, is getting to old...i need to buy i new one very soon, i would like one with expansion base,
so i want to know if HP is going to have expansion base in some new model of laptop notebook
my dock station is a great product
please do not stop to make a good product!

Unfortunately docking stations, like firewire ports and pcmcia slots, are disappearing from laptops other than the very highest end business models. So right now no consumer model has a traditional snap down docking station. The only models that do are the Elitebook, Probook, Zbook lines:

Expansion Base USB Ports

I have a Pavilion dv9000 (specifically dv9074cl). The original OS was Windows XP. I have upgraded to Windows 7 (64 bit). I use an HP xb3000 notebook expansion base. I am having trouble with the USB ports on the expansion base. I can not get devices such as my wireless USB device for the mouse and keyboard to connect or my web cam to connect. Do I need an additional driver?

Dv8000 w/ xb2000 Expansion Base, Win 7 RC1, and No Sound

I have a HP dv8000 CTO notebook and use a HP xb2000 Notebook Expansion Base. With a complete new install of Windows 7 RC1 I have had significant problems getting sound to work.
I've finally been able to get the base dv8000 sound to work, but have not been able to get the sound to work via the Exapansion Base. When the expansion base connector is plugged in to the notebook, it kills the notebook sound, but does not pass the sound to either the expansion base or the expansion base headphone jack. I realy don't want to ust use the Expansion Base as a notebook holder, but don't want to not have sound.
Does anyone have a solution or test process to diagnose the issue?

I finally was able to solve this by installing an old service pack, HP SP33443 with Conexant drivers. It appears to have been updated for Vista and works with and without the Expansion Base xb2000.

Portege M700 - Ultra Slim Bay

In the User Guide, in the equipment checklist section, it says 'Ultra Slim Bay Weight Saver (Is included with some models)'. And since i received an Ultra Slim Bay case (which is also included in some models), logically, it would also come with the Weight Saver. Because, when i remove my DVD drive to place into the Ultra Slim Bay case, there's a gaping hole left in the laptop where the DVD drive used to be. It doesn't make sense that Toshiba didn't provide the Weight Saver, does it...?
Thanks for your help,
Joseph

PS. This message was rejected by the system because it was profanity?! what is going on? it took me 7 tries till I decided to edit my message instead. What is wrong with the system? It was VERY frustrating and it doesn't tell you which part it wanted you to edit! poor code... fix it.

Im not a Portege M700 owner but I think Akuma is right. The dummy DVD dray is delivered only with models without DVD drive I think.
If you want it you can contact an authorized service provider. They can order all Toshiba parts.
Or you search on the Toshiba Accessories homepage. Maybe there you will find the part number and then you can search with Google to find some online shops they are selling that part.
Good luck!

HP Elite 8300 Ultra Slim No Audio via Display Ports -Solution-

This is a solution or a work around to getting audio functionality via the Display Ports on the HP Elite 8300 Ultra Slim and I suspect but cannot confirm as I do not have "other 8xxx models". Normally in the windows sound settings it will offer no options for audio via HDMI, etc with whatever drivers you so happened to install from HP or Intel when using the Display Ports on the machine.
So this is what I did and I replicated it again to be sure.
1.Install the Latest Intel HD 2500 Drivers first from the Intel Website first of course
2.Download the HP Power Assistant Software v2.0.5.1
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_102595_1
and install it and suddenly in the Sound settings in the Windows Control Panel you will find it now shows audio devices that are connected via the Display Ports via HDMI , weird I know but it works for any audio device connected to the DP pots via HDMI, etc.
HP Customer Services told me categorically that it was not a function of the 8300 Ultra Slim supports due to the revision of display port it has so I am a bit annoyed that I had to search and search and actually fix it myself.

Great discovery.
I may experiment on my 8000 and 8200 Elite CMT's.
I would have to remove the video cards I added though.
FYI, so you don't have to go to third party websites, HP does have a direct link to the Power Assistant software you used.

T61P Ultra Slim bay hard drive issues

Hi,
I have a new T61P with an additional hard drive in the Ultra Slim bay.
I can safely pull out the old drive or DVD, plug is the another drive - nothing happens!! I thought this hard drive is suppose to be Plug-N-Play.
Is there any settings / configurations I need to do? What is the best setting to format that drive?
Thanks,
Dave

Use "safely remove devices" or Easy Eject before removing an ultrabay device.
Give windows a few seconds to complete the dismount before inserting the new device
A new hdd will need to be formatted - use Disk Management (right click My Computer - select Manage)
If a HDD was already in a machine and had a HDD password set it will not be detected if you swap it in hot. You have to cold boot and enter the password when prompted. If you remove the HDD password using BIOS setup then it will function when hot-swapped.

DC7700 Compac ULTRA SLIM DESKTOP PC BIOS UPDATE

Hello world
I’m using Windows 7 Ultimate on a DC7700 Ultra-Slim Desktop PC and I’ve been getting these really annoying freezes where the screen goes black for a few seconds then I get an error message “Intel Accelerated Graphics Drivers for Windows Vista stopped responding and has recovered.” Sometimes I get a bluescreen and the PC reboots- mostly when I play a video file or PC game.
I downloaded an updated Intel graphics driver which installed fine and actually boosted performance significantly but the screen flashes persist. After a lot of research I think I need a bios update but I can’t seem to find one for win 7 ultimate. Information on this stuff isn’t always accurate and I don’t want to take any chances with the installation. My current BIOS software is 786E1 v01.09, 1/5/2007 (Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family) and the updated Intel Graphics Accelerator driver is version 8.15.10.1930, 9/23/3009.
I don’t want to mess with the BIOS so I’m hoping someone can point me to the right download. Also would it be possible to do the upgrade in a Windows environment as opposed to Setup or Command mode? Please help!

Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer?
