Any HP laptops available to connect to HP xb4 expansion dock ?

My HP laptop, Pavilion dv7-3060us, appears to have given up the ghost. I looked at HP replacements, but have used the HP docking stations for years and new models don't have the expansion connector to connect to the HP xb4 dock that I have. Does anyone know what the last HP lptop model was that included the expansion port connection that connects to the HP xb4 dock? If not, can anyone let me know whether there's a workaround that will allow me to continue using my HP xb4 expansion dock?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Thanks, BH, but the problem that I have is that new models of HP laptops no longer have the docking station cable connector port that is shown in the documentation that you provided. Without this type 3 port on the laptop, I don't believe that it can be properly connected to the docking stationand my post went to that dilemma. My only hope to continue using the docking station appears to be getting the last model HP laptop that has the expansion connector (referred to as a type 3 connector, I believe, in the dock documentation). Thus, my question as to anyone's knowledge of what HP laptop was the last of the generation that had this connector. Although the docking station documentation indicates that a secondary laptop can be connected to the dock by USB connector to make use of the peripherals attached to the dock, it is not at all clear whether the primary laptop can be connected in this fashion. It would appear unlikely that this is possible, since there would be no connection through the dock connection cable to the laptop, since there is no connector on newer model laptops. HP no longer markets the docking station, which may explain why newer laptops have no docking station cable connector port built-in to the case.
Thanks anyway for the link to the docking station documentation.

    Thank,

    Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you.  An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror.  If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music.  You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

  • Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

    I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength.  When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
    I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options.  I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
    I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
    Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting,  And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
    Thanks

    Connect a computer to the Router, Open the Setuppage by 192.168.1.1 , password "admin"
    Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
    should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
    Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
    broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
    Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
    Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in key1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...
    Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.

  • HP laptop can't connect to AirPort Extreme

    My dad has an HP laptop with an 802.11G wifi card. When I enabled AirPort Disk and restarted the router, the laptop came up with a "Limited or no connectivity" error. I tried resetting the network, unplugging the router, and even extending it with an AirPort Express I own. The range without the Express is good, but the laptop can't connect. And I checked the logs and from what I can tell, the issue is on the laptop's end. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the encryption protocol of your network as well as the Radio mode (n with b/g compatibility). You need to select one of the protocols which is available on your laptop (e.g. WEP). I can't recall exactly, but I don't believe SP1 has WPA. WEP isn't as secure, though.

  • Network Manager doesn't show available wireless connections

    I have Arch set up on a laptop. I've used it for about a month around the house without a problem. Today I did a little "road tripping," and was surprised to find that network manager wasn't showing me any wireless connections. There were no errors shown, just no connections were offered when I went to places that I know have wireless available. My experience with other distro's is that network manager will show a sidebar with the available wireless connections and let me choose whether I want to connect or not. But when I went into a coffee shop or restaurant, nothing showed up offering anything. I took a look at the network manager and wireless wiki's and didn't see anything that I might have missed during the installation. What tells network manager that there are wireless networks available?

    Hi
    +". . . they are exactly the same clone . . ."+
    This might be where your problem begins and ends? If you joined client # 1 to OD and then cloned this to create client # 2 then you're probably going to have the problems you're seeing?
    If you want all your workstations to be the same it's best to remove any references to any LDAP Server as well as any TGTs. It's also a good idea to give each client workstation unique names prior to joining an LDAP Directory after they've been imaged. You can create a NetBoot Image with an associated workflow that will define unique names as well as join an LDAP Directory as Post Install actions.

  • Folders that I copy from my Macbook to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other drive that I connect the Hard disk to (TV, PC, ... etc.)

    I'm facing a bit of a problem.
    Any folder I copy from my Macbook Pro to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other device that I connect the Hard Disk to (TV, PC, etc).
    The Hard disk format is "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    The folders that are copied from Macbook appear when I connect the Hard Disk to my Macbook only, yet, the folders that I copy from a PC to the Hard Disk appear on Macbook, PC, and TV and are also available from editing from both Mac and PC.
    I was advised to install "Paragon" software and I did but I'm not sure how to use it to convert the folders on the hard drive to any format that can be read on other drives or devices (NTFS or otherwise).
    I'd appreciate some help. Thank you.

    Hi Simon.  How is it formatted, FAT or NTFS? 
    I only ask as OSX will only read NTFS partitions unless you install an App such as Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS.

  • Failure of server APACHE bridge::No backend server available for connection

    All,
    I have an env: Browser -> OHS -> WLS(Apex Listener) -> Oracle DB.
    If any SQL run for more than 5 mins, i get the below error.

    TIA,
    JJ

    Regardless of the version, this is not exactly a "Forms" failure. This is an issue between OHS and WLS. Basically it means that OHS (via mod_wl_ohs) was unable to communicate with WLS_FORMS (or whichever managed server you are trying to access). Most often this means the managed server is not running or not responding. If you believe it is running and is responsive (test by hitting it directly) then the problem is probably related to your installation. Generally, if you have not properly configured your networking before you installed WLS and FMw, then this can occur. For example, on Windows machine which do not have static IP addresses, the Installation Guide instructs you to install the Windows loopback adapter and configure it. If you did not do this, OHS likely will not be able to contact WLS_FORMS.
    You can test what I have described above by attempting to access WLS_FORMS directly. For example:
    http://yourHost:9001/forms/frmservlet
    If that works, the issue is probably related to a net config issue.

  • Urgent : Is there any c++ parsers available for reading tnsnames.ora

    I have to parse the tnsnames.ora and get the connection string , host name , instance name , port etc .. and store it in my local memory structure . Is there any c++ parsers available , which parses and gives the desired output or do i have write my own parser .

    You're right...the database connections work fine if I define them manually rather than reading them from the tnsnames.ora file.
    I was hoping to have many users running SQL Developer so using the tnsnames.ora file might save people's time and reduce the number of database connection-related support calls.
    If worse comes to worse, I can create an XML file to define the database connections. The only drawback to this is that we have an automated procedure to update people's tnsnames.ora whereas there is currently no way to keep the XML file up-to-date.

  • Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

    As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on.  My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required.  When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password.  The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP.  Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products.  I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

    I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
    Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
    I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
    If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.
