Docking station recognize displayport screens

Hi. I have e hp probook 650G and a docking station for it. To the dock I have two displayport screens in daisy chain attached. It works very well, but... When I take the laptop out of the docking station and eventually plug it back in, the screens do not start automatically (the lid of the laptop is closed and the laptop is not in sleep or hibernate). I have to go into the graphic settings and choose the monitors manually each time! Really annoying ! I have got another setup with the same pc and docking station but screens connected to DVI and VGA. In this setup it automatically activates the external monitors. Anyone got a clue on how to solve this issue? Best regardsNic

unfortunately the T500 can only use the Advanced dock or mini dock that has DVI output, no displayport support through the dock. The series 3 is only usable on the T400s and the upcoming revamp of thinkpads.

Strange dual screen issue with HP Folio 1040 and docking station

Hi there,
I have a laptop in a docking station. Two displays are connected using the docking station's DisplayPorts. Instead of showing me two separate displays like I'd have expected, xrandr seems to "see" only one large screen.
Laptop: HP EliteBook Folio 1040 with Intel HD 4400 graphics card
Docking station: HP 2013 UltraSlim Docking Station
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 173mm
1920x1080 60.05*+ 40.03
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 59.94
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 59.94
3840x1080 60.00
2560x1024 60.00
1680x1050 59.95
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1280x720 59.97
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32

720x400 70.08
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
eDP1 is the laptop's built-in display, while DP2 seems to represent _both_ displays. When I select 1920x1080, the two displays show the same. When I select 3840x1080, however, the two displays show a side-by-side setup, such that X11 spans over both of them. While I'm happy that I'm now able to make use of the second display, this obviously breaks some software stuff, like fullscreen video in vlc, for example. Any suggestions what I can do about that? Is it possible to software-split the screen such that it looks like a normal dual-head setup again?

You could define two screens in xorg.conf similar to last post here. You would have to select the screen using the -display switch or the DISPLAY variable when using xrandr.

T500 loses screen when ejected from docking station

At my desk, I use a docking station with external monitor (DVI attach). If I eject from the docking station, my laptop screen goes dark. The only way I can make it work is to power down, eject, and reboot. It works fine then.
I have the ATI graphics card, and I don't think the switchable graphics is working. Is it possible to use the onboard Intel graphics when on battery power? This seems to be ideal.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I apologize for not including the model number. I wrote my question several times, only to lose it before posting. This BB works very differently from the one I use a lot.
The machine is a 2081-CTO with 4GB ram, DVD drive, and Vista as shipped from Lenovo. Vista is up to date.
Earlier, I ran the Lenovo system update, and it installed seven fixes, including a new BIOS. The fixes were all listed as optional. Once I installed these fixes, I am unable to eject and get my display working. However, the screen flashes a few times and my icons were rearranged. I have reset my icons several times in the last few days, and find this to be very disconcerting.
The laptop spends a great deal of time connected to the docking station, which has the attached DVI monitor. I do take it to client locations, so the working laptop display is essential. I have been experimenting with connection to a 40 inch HD TV, and when we changed the resolution on the video port (VGA) (to read it from across the room), it messed my laptop display and DVI display's resolution. I had to reset all my icons for that as well. All my icons stay on the laptop screen.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black. Thanks!

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

Blue screen from USB adapter on Docking Station

My T430s will invariably BS within 5 secs ~ 5 mins of plugging in a certain wifi network USB adapter into the docking station, whereas plugged directly into the T430s, it's fine.
It's a trusty Rosewill RNX-G1W that I carried over from a T61p, and is compatible with Linux on VMWare. I've used it on XP, Vista, and now Win 7 64-bit. I have the latest driver, specific to Win 7; although the default one Win 7 self-installs when it recognizes new USB hardware works just fine, except with docking station.
Any idea why it crashes when in the docking station but not in laptop ports? Even when laptop is attached to station? I've tried both the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports thinking it was power related, but that changes nothing.
Particulars: Win 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM, 14" screen w/ NVIDIA Optimus chip. Event log only show loss of Kernel-power causing crash.

Hi, No. The product says: Expand what you can do with a suite of accessories designed specifically for the HP ElitePad and turn a true business tablet into a total business solution.Simply connect one end of the adapter to the HP ElitePad, and connect to your USB device on the other end. Then pack and go when you’re ready to disconnect.Get the peace of mind of a one-year limited warranty. Additional support is available (North America only) seven days a week, 24 hours a day by phone as well as through online support forums. and your machine: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Split-13-x2-PC/5401170/model/5442928/document/c03944512/ Regards.

Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my computer, but do not sync to my IPOD Touch so that I can listen on another device (stereo, dock station, etc.) When I click on the one that transfered over, a grey screen shows up "No Music" Help1

Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my Ipod, but a grey screen comes up "NO Music". How can I listen on a device? Like, my car or my dock station/ radio.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

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?

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

Broke docking station; Windows won't recognize Shuffle

Okay, so the connector in the docking station became loose today. I put my shuffle on it and tried to connect to the computer -- nothing. So I went and bought a "USB Travel dock" which is specifically for 2nd generation shuffles. When I connect my Ipod, an orange light blinks twice and then nothing. Windows says it's an unknown device. I've tried the reset utility and it doesn't recognize the shuffle either. I've tried resetting to no avail.
The Ipod, itself, works fine, as I was using it earlier, but now the battery needs to be charged and it's looking impossible to connect or charge it. I'm thinking I may have damaged the part where you plug it into the dock, but my headphones work fine when I plug them in the same hole. =/ I have no idea.

was having this problem among others. Found that I could see it in windows explorer but only as an additional disk but nothing in itunes. reformatted in windows, used updater then ejected from explorer. when fires up itunes and then reconnected ipod - it found it.

X200 with OCZ ssd blue screens when booting from docking station

The x200 blue screens when booting from the docking station. If I take the laptop out of the docking station to boot and then dock once booted the laptop is fine.
The issue started happening when you I upgraded the laptop form xp to windows 7 and installed an OCZ vertex 2 solid state drive.
I have tried updating the firmware on the ssd using this utility
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-69806
The program showed that my ssd was running firmware version 1.29 and did not need to be updated.
I have also tried updating the x200 to the latest BIOS. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Solved!

you need to modify a registry value before going from AHCI to IDE. (or viceversa).

HP8570W with HP230W enhanced docking station does not recognize DMI connections

Hi,
I have an HP 8570W workstation with the HP230W enhanced docking station. I have three monitors plugged in - one VGA, and two DMI. Everything has been working for about a year. Suddenly today the desktop started jumping around and then the DMI monitors went dark. I checked in resolution and they do not show up anymore. I rebooted. I took laptop off docking station and retarted and plugged back in. I unplugged and replugged the DMI cable. Nothing helped.
Any idea what to try next?
Thanks,
SamBilbrey

T61p docking station/ethernet cable problem

When placed in the mini docking station, my T61p laptop fails to recognize the Ethernet cable connected to the dock itself. To successfully use an Ethernet connection the cable must be connected directly to the Ethernet port on the thinkpad and the thinkpad must not be placed in the docking station (so the purpose of the docking station is completely defeated). How can I successfully make an Ethernet connection through the docking station? At this point USB and screen connections all work fine. Thanks for any help.

Most likely a drivers issue...
Go to Lenovo site http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67829 and download Intel PRO/1000 LAN Adapter Software driver.
Version: 9.12.41.1001 Release Date: 2009/05/19
Steps to take:
Select Control Pannel
Click Administrative Tools
Click Computer Management
Scroll and expand "Device Manager"
Expand Network Adopters
Check if Intel Gigabit Network Connection is (enabled/disabled)
If Disabled, enable (right click and enable)
Here you can also uninstall,
then from the above site, download the driver and install,
then repeat earlier steps and enable adaptor
That should work for you, with or without the driver.

No longer can play though docking stations.

I have two compatible docking stations, a Bose portable and a shoe to connect to our built in home system. Always worked fine on both until today. This device still running on os version 4.3.3, so recent upgrade of os is not the culprit. Suspect something wrong in the connection. In both cases the IPod touch recognizes it's connected to a docking station and starts to charge, but it continues to play music through it's little inboard speaker instead of connecting to big speakers through the docking station.
Any help?
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Does the iPod play OK throiugh the headphone jack? If yes then sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If it does not play through the headphone jack
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Compatibility problem with Portege 7020 / 7200 CT display & docking station

Hi guys,
i am experiencing some problems with the 2 mentioned laptops.
The 1st one is:
I bought a used 7020 to replace the broken screen of 7200. After disassembled the screen, I noticed that the connectors have the same number of wires, but one of the terminal of the 7200's screen has a larger socket. "no problem" I thought, and with patience I picked up the cable of the 7020 adapter an put it into the 7200.
But when i turned it on i saw only colored lines and squares :S :S
If you want i can provide the PN, if it could help...Even if i check the compatibility before order.
2nd problem:
Portege 7200 recognize correctly the docking station, while the 7020 emit some beeps before boot, and obviously it doesn't work with him. I checked on toshiba's site and the dock would be totally compatible!
And for last... Where can i find bios updates?
Sorry for my bad english, i hope that someone could help me!
regards,
Francesco

Hello Francesco
You will be really lucky if anyone here can help you with these old notebook models. I am pretty sure they are about 10 years old.
Without maintenance manuals and enough knowledge is not easy to help you with this display replacement.
This issue with docking station can be related to defective hardware. Both notebooks are so similar and both of them can be used with this docking station. How you can be sure hardware is top on 7020?
BIOS updates are available on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp but as I can see for Portege 7000 there is no BIOS update, just for 7020.
If you want you can contact nearest Toshiba service provider. they have maintenance manuals for this old notebooks and they can help you offering exact info about parts you need.
