In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

VISION M DOCKING STATION POWER ADAP

HELP,
I bought a docking station so that i could charge my vision m in my bedroom whilst listening to music but i have no pc in my bedroom i foolishly thought the devise would come supplied with a charger.
I bought a uniross uni'versal charger but it does not work on the docking station.
The charger works with the usb and the charger works with several other things in my house.
Do i need to buy a creative charger ? do they sell them ? what do i use to as a dc lead for the docking station please help.
Thank you in advance.

Did you find out how to take care of this problem? I am having the same problems with my Docking Station. Also I am wondering about if there is a way to hook up the Vision M to the the Inspire T300 speakers direction without using the computer.
Yes unplug the speakers from the computer & plug into the Zen dock line-out port. Disconnect the dock from the computer & just have the power cord plugged in (wall charger)

T60P w/Docking Station Battery & Power LED's Go out when Power button pushed rem batt to fix

Subject line says it - unit runs fine, battery is is good shape, replaced charger with a new spare. With PC on the docking station and all plugged in, both batt and power lights green, pushing either the laptop power button or the docking station power button, immediately extinguished both LED's and they remain that way until the laptop is removed from the docking station and the battery is removed and then reinserted into the laptop. PC will then boot and run normally with battery showing full or nearly full charge. Power cord can be reinstalled and all goes fine or the PC can be inserted onto the dock and all goes well also. But, after a normal power down, the restart problem reoccurs, etc.... Any ideas out there?

UPDATE #3
OK, getting interesting. Last test was to shutdown and leave off overnight, after having been successful at rebooting several times in a row beforehand. After it sat overnight, with AC adapter plugged in, it would not boot in the morning. Same situation as has been the case. Pulled out battery, reinserted, and boot took off. Later, laptop was taken to an off site meeting, whereupon, it would not boot no matter what was done with battery or adapter. Condition repeated back at home. I then decided to check the battery voltage and found it to be 12.78v, which from my battery knowledge for Li-Ion's should have only been a max of 12.30v for this nominal 10.8v Li-Ion Panasonic battery. (4.1 v/cell max, nominal 3.6 v/cell) So, it appeared to be overcharged and would be why I was seeing no problems with restarts or short-term shutdown/reboots, but only after the battery had time to fully (Over) charge. So, I connected a 1 amp load to the battery using a 12v automotive tail lamp bulb I had around and ran the battery down to 11.78 v. I just wanted it below 12.3v. When battery was reinstalled in laptop, boot was successful. At that point, I reenabled the Thinkvantage Power Manager 6.4 program thru the config.sys program, where I had previously disabled it, and then rebooted. Once booted up, I then ran a Battery reset, which took about 6 hrs to top of the battery charge, fully discharge it (somewhere in the 9 v range) and then recharge it. Once that completed, I removed the AC adapter and drained the PC down to about 90%, and shut it off. This morning, it booted just fine on the battery alone. I plugged in the AC adapter and it charged up, but only to 91%, where I had told it to stop thru TPM. It is now set in software to only charge to 91% and stop charging until the capacity falls to 85%. This is planned to be a temporary setting, just until I understand further what is happening. The 'reset' capacity of the battery is now 77 WH, vs the design WH originally available as reported by the battery BIOS as 84 WH. In other words, the new 100% capacity is 77Watt-hours instead of what the battery had two years ago when it was new. I also just discovered a 'Important Message' related to the Battery Software Update Utility that describes a problem with certain Panasonic manufactured Lenovo batteries that sounds like what I have been fighting. This problem battery is a replacement for the original one from 2007, which also died and completely locked out the laptop. Until I can get the laptop shutdown and pull the battery to check the FRU/partnumber, I will not know for certain if it is indicated in the Lenovo Battery Utility Update or not, but I'm betting it is.... stay tuned.....ok - just checked the battery - it is a 42T4620 and not one of those listed in the Battery Utility Software Update - but I think is should be! BTW, shutdown, removed battery to check P/N, rebooted - all fine. The 'acid' test will be to leave it plugged in over night and see if it restarts okay....TWT... oh, and in case you're wondering, I have a new laptop on order because this is nuts.......:-)

T43p no longer recognizes 2877 docking station

My ThinkPad T43p no longer recognizes when it's installed in my ThinkPad Dock II (2877) docking station. Thinkpad has latest possible BIOS and Lenovo power management updates. It runs Windows XP SP3 at latest possible updates. It normally runs in the docking station in my office, but I removed it the other day to use it in the living room. When I re-installed it, it booted as if on battery power and remained running solely on battery power.
I have always cold-docked and undocked this machine, i.e., the PC is shut down before undocking and before re-docking.
On the docking station, none of the attached devices are recognized ( e.g., mouse, hard disk). Strangely, the docking station power button does boot the PC and power it down, but none of the other docking station functions work including the eject button.
On the laptop Windows XP software, there is no Eject PC in the START/shutdown program list.
I've cleaned the umbilical connector strip on the base of the T43p and on the docking station with compressed air.
The T43p works fine undocked using the brick power supply, fully charging the battery. The ports on the laptop all work fine.
I'd appreciate suggestions short of ditching the docking station and the laptop.

Which docking station - make and model?

FOR SALE - Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet, Docking Station and Keyboard Folio Case

As my daughter is insisting on a laptop, her Thinkpad Tablet and Accessories will have to go....
The tablet is the 16GB WiFi Version (1838-5SG). The Docking Station is the standard one (0A33965), as is the Keyboard Folio Case (which is a Western European keyboard type - ASM P/N 0B33512 FRU P/N 03X6354).
The Tablet has one very tiny scratch on the screen, hardly noticeable, other than that is in perfect condition (the Styuls Pen is only 4 months old). The Docking Station has a slot cut out to enable a mini HDMI Cable to be connected through the facia (to the tablet), and other than that, is in perfect condition. The Folio Keyboard Case is in perfect condition. All cables, etc are included, and the Docking Station power cable has an EU plug (note that if you live in a Country which doesn't have EU Plug sockets, a standard plug can be purchased separately from the adaptor, they normally cost pennies....)
All boxes, packaging, instructions, etc are included, including the receipts for warranty purposes. The tablet and docking station are less than 1 year old, as verified by the receipts.
I can send full info, including photos, etc, if needed.
If anyone is interested, please make me an offer.

I was thinking i could use this Motorola Wireless Keyboard, it only needs an HID bluetooth connection, the ThinkPad Tab supports HID?

My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

Nw8440 won't take power from AC adapters or docking station

I think my nw8440 laptop got hurt by a defective AC power brick - it caused the 'charging' light to flutter rapidly and a small clicking sound was heard from the laptop. After that, the laptop will not run off of any external power input and will not charge the batteries (I have 2 other good AC bricks and a docking station, but now none work). The laptop does sense the presence of the DC input though; a minute or so after a brick is plugged in, an HP assistant pops-up appears from the taskbar and shows something like "The smart adapter does not have enough power for this computer". The laptop is obviously going to need repair, but is anyone familiar with the power components and able to advise on what I should expect? (e.g., do these have any replaceable power parts or is it likely that the motherboard is fried?)

I was having the same problem. Installed the older driver from the link and now it wakes up!

Computer hangs on AC Power loss on Docking station (Z61p)

I have a problem that the computer hangs if IU disconnect the power to my docking station similar to:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69370
Is this a known problem for the Z-series? Any solution?

Restore after AC Power Loss
This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt
occurs. Settings are:
[Power Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state.
[Power On] Always leaves the computer in the power on state.
[Last State] Restore the system to the status before power failure or interrupt
occurred.
If you have this properly configured as you indicate in your post, try a full cmos clear and set it back and to re-test.
If that is of no help, what bios version do you have installed?

Iphone turned off whilst plugging it into a docking station and now wont turn on

Hi everyone.
So i plugged my Iphone into a docking station to play the radio last night and it completely turned off and now wont turn back on.
I have done the following:
12hour wall charging
Computer connected
All resets done.
Still nothing. Anyone shed any light? I'm going crazy!
Thanks

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

T61p power down while idle in docking station

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my T61p. I work for hours when the laptop is docked, then I leave it alone for a few minutes and when I come back it is powered down. There is no indication that it shuts down Windows XP cleanly, since unsaved work disappears. It appears as if it shuts down as if I would hold the power button.I have the same problem with my docking stations at home and at work.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, cj

Thanks KiDYu, unfortunately it didn't help....
Getting back to this 4 month old problem (actually, 1 year old problem...). I have been trying many different things (driver updates, monitoring temp, using TPFanControl to monitor/control fan).... nothing helps. When I work with my laptop docked everything is great, when I go get a coffee I come back and it's powerd off.
My typical temp (right now, after using it, Pandora running in the background) while docked is CPU 81 celsius, gpu 78, pwr 69. Seems to be within reasonable limits. Also it doesn't seem like the temp should go up when I'm NOT using the laptop, so I doubt this is a overheating problem.
My best guess is that something in the power management software detects "idle" after some minutes and tries to do something thereby causing a power-down.
I have found another thread in a different forum where somebody has the same problem with a X61:

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is really annoying.

My Ipod got wet, now it will only power up when on docking station, is there anything I can do to fix it?

My Ipod got ran through a washing machine. I let it sit in a bag of rice for one week before trying to power it up or plug it in. When I place the Ipod on radio/alarm clock docking station the Ipod will power up and I am able to access what is on it, but it will reset itself every few minutes. Also it will not charge whil on the dock. I tried plugging it into the computer but it will not power up or register on the computer. Is there anything I can do to fix it at this point?

- After being connected tot a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to your computer and and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Sorry I missed that you said you dried it in your first post.

No "Turn off" or Reboot when on Docking Station

Hello,
when I put my T61 (6457-BBG) on the Docking Station (ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock) and do a Reboot or Shutdown in Windows 7, the Laptop doesn't turn off. The Monitor gets black and has no connection and the red LED on the Docking Station is turned on, that I should not disconnect the Laptop from it. Then I need to press the Power-Button for 4s so that the Laptop turns off.
I just discovered that when I turn the laptop to Sleep, it afterwards can do a normal Reboot or Shutdown.
When the Laptop is not connected to the Docking Station, everything is fine, too.
Maybe you can help me, on Vista this Problem didn't exist.
Thank you very much,
Tim

Hi,
A USB device may prevent the computer from shutting down. You may want to try disconnecting everything connected to the docking station and see if that makes a difference.
I had some initial problems on my T400s system. But it seems to have gone away with the latest drivers. So if you have not already you should check that you have the latest drivers.

Power Manager Setting To Preserve Battery Life When Using A Docking Station

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 which is about 19 months old. When at work, the computer is in a Lenovo docking station. At the end of the day, it is removed and any further evening use is typically on the battery.
Yesterday, the battery symbol in the tray at the bottom of the screen displayed a red X on it and indicated that there was an "error". I presume from this that that battery is dead and needs to be replaced. I am surprised by the comparatively short life of this battery.
I was thinking that perhaps the use of the powered docking station played some role in shortening the battery's life. For example, it may have repeatedly overcharged the battery.
Is there a Power Manager setting that will reduce the likelihood that the battery is being overcharged while in the docking station? In the future, is it feasible to simply remove the battery before inserting it into the docking station so that this won't continue to occur?
Thank you.
(I did a search of the community's knowledgebase, but didn't find anything on point.)

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that battery of your Lenovo ThinkPad X220 had undergone wear and tear and has to be replaced.
Capacity of a battery declines as the battery ages, with the number of charge cycles and time at high temperature. Under average usage patterns your battery maintains approximately 70% of its power capacity after the first year of operation.
Most laptops today use lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries. Overcharging Li-ion batteries is not a problem and does not affect the battery life span. These batteries have an internal circuit to stop the charging process at full charge. This is why the Li-ion batteries are more expensive. The only way for the Li-ion battery to overcharge is if the charging system malfunctions, and then the battery will heat up while in the charger. Older laptops use Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. They require more maintenance than Lithium Ion batteries. They must be fully discharged and then fully recharged so that they don't lose battery life.
Refer this document to see the tips on how to increase the battery life.
Hope this provided enough clarity for your query!
Best regards,
Mithun.
