Drivers for ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video

I have a X220 P/N: 4291Gw9 with the port replicator P/N: 51J0246 running Windows 8 Enterprise. I tried installing the Windows 7 drivers with no luck. I can use replicator with keyboard and mouse but i dont see external monitor Sync Master 214T.
Any workaround to this issue? I have 2 external monitors I use for work plus the laptop one as third.
I realy need this second monitor.
Details about my drivers versions:
Windows 8 Enterprise + all updates
Graphic card drivers: 9.17.10.2875
Replicator drivers: tp_usb_prdigvid_v20620

I have the exact same problem on my W510. Everything but the screen Works. I cannot however do duplicate screens. That would help a Little bit, so I could use the big monitor instead of just the laptop.
Please fix this Lenovo!

Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video - extended monitor shows only mouse icon

Hi,
I have been using my Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video for quite a long time with my previous employer laptop. I recently switched job and got a new laptop (Dell XPS 3, Win 8.1). While installing/paring this laptop with the port replicator, I had some issues e.g. extended monitor not getting identified etc. I updated the drivers and now I am able to identify the extended monitor. But the extended monitor shows only the mouse icon and nothing else. I have upto date Intel HD graphics drivers installed in the laptop. Intel's Graphics control panel doesn't show the extend option for the USB monitor, but able to still move the mouce icon to the extended monitor.
Any help/pointers to fix this issue is highly appreciated.

X1 and USB Port Replicator with digital video - hangs system

Hi
with the X1 to help with docking it everyday at the office I have a USB Port replicator with digital video. I am not using the digital video but the USB ports, head phone and mics plus ethernet.
When I plug it in it detects it OK, I then installed the software. But after reboot it looks to stall when logging into windows, screen flickers back and forth and locks up the operating system. I unlplug it and reboot and window is working fine.
Note as I mentioned I am not using the digital output but instead using an external monitor via the display port on the back of the laptop.
Also its is very slow to boot (Lenovo bios splash screen is there for about a minute)
I have gone into the bios and turned off all other bootable devices just leaving the laptops hard drive.
As a work around I have removed the software and I am getting the basic functionality of the port replicator, but not the ethernet.
I have run the update manager but does not appear to show a need to update the drivers.
Model X1 (1293-CTO)
Windows 7

Hi, I have this same exact problem.
Video (anything from youtube to downloaded shows, movies) will freeze for 5-7 seconds at a time. The sound continues to play while the video is 'frozen', and the video resumes after that.
It will happen on its own, with no bumping, but it is more prone to happen if I do something like increase the volume within the media player.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Video issues with USB port replicator with Digital Video

I have a T400 running Windows XP SP3 32-bit, with the graphics mode set to use the ATI video card. I'm also using the latest approved Lenovo ATI driver for this machine.
I have two issues, one of which I consider major:
1) Sometimes when I plug in the replicator (got the latest drivers off of the Lenovo download site) everything works great, and other times the monitor never powers up. I plug the replicator into my laptop and the external keyboard and mouse work and the port replicator system tray icon appears, but the monitor is still in power-saving mode. If I try to activate the monitor by "extending" or "mirroring" it, it comes up with a pop-up that says:
"ThinkPad USB port rep. device: Error" - "Fail when adding device instance into driver!"
2) This is more of an annoyance, but I noticed when the monitor does work that black areas of the screen end up getting sparkly green lines through them. They aren't "actually there" in the sense that it's not corruption from the computer, they are simply artifacts of what seems to be some signalling problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

We (DispkayLink) have tested office 2013 and not found any BSODs so there must be something system specific.
Could you gather the system logs and post here so we can see what might be wrong? Details on how to do this are here:

Thanks

Your reply is 2 months later, I had to revert to Office 2010 and return the laptop to the end user.
But, I got another model of the same laptop right now which can be used to test it, I will let you know if it works out this time with the lates DisplayLink software for Windows.

USB PORT REPLICATOR WITH DIGITAL VIDEO JUMPING BETWEEN LAPTOP SCREEN AND LCD

Hi,
I have an E330 connected to the above port replicator and I am having an issue where I could be working away on a document and all of a sudden the screen on my LCD freezes and goes blank, then my laptop screen boots up for about 3 seconds then it switches back to the LCD.
I have noticed that it only seems to happen when I am either using the scroll wheel on the mouse or clicking on the mouse button.
Any suggested fixes would be welcome

This sounds like the USB dock is dropping off the USB bus and then reconnecting. This could be a problem with the USB 3.0 hub in the dock.
Lenovo have made a firmware update available for the USB 3.0 hub in this dock, that could solve the issue:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014961
It is also work making sure your USB 3.0 host controller drivers are up to date if you are using Windows 7. Links to the latest USB 3.0 HC drivers can be found here:

I *think* it is an Intel USB 3.0 chipset on this laptop.

ThinkPad USB Port Replicator

ThinkPad USB Port Replicator works with BeTWIN??

We (displaylink) have not tested specifically with betwin so could not guarantee it works. However it seems to work with a 2nd graphics card and that is how a displaylink display will appear to the OS so I think it should work.
I think it will depend on how betwin works. Might be better to ask betwin if they know of any issue.

Can anyone help me?

Please call our HelpCenter and explain what you need and ask that your case be escallated to Level 2. Our Level 2 support team is working with customers to provide instructions and a package that can be deployed silently for the USB Port Rep. Hopefully in the future the released driver package can be updated to provide this support.

Help needed by Good Samaritans for info on Drivers for RS232 / USB ports.

Dear all,
I would first like to thank you for taking the time to read my message.
I would like to ask all you proffesional LV developer how difficult it
might be to write the drivers for a bluetooth-RS232(or for a Wireless
LAN ethernet/USB access point) device using LV. Would it be better to
write the drivers in C++?
I have finished the LV Basics 1&2, though we did not learn something helpfull for my case.
Are there any usefull examples i should look at?
The signal transmitted would have a data rate of about 0.5MBbs and the LV program would just display and store the data.
Thanks for your help

Bogiasac
Couple of quick points then I will allow the LV Community to reply to the specifics. From NI's point of view we would recommend that you use the development language that you feel most confident in, so if you are a C++ guru then use C++. Another point, you mention that you attended the LV Basic training classes. I conclude from your comments that you were looking for specific training (while attending did you raise this with instructor at the time?), these training classes are an introduction to the LV environment and set out the ground rules how to best develop a LV application. Our intermediate courses go into greater detail into advanced LV features - though for some this is still not deep enough (future developments in that for LV 8.0 users soon). If you are looking for specific training please contact our Training Co-ordinator in the UK and she will be happy to advice.
On the Bluetooth question, LV has Bluetooth tools built in. These can be found in the Communication palate under Bluetooth (this depends on which version of LV you have, Base or FDS). Please use these VIs to develop you Bluetooth application. There are 9 Bluetooth examples shipped with LV, these can be found by using the “find examples” in the help menu.
Kind regards

Dual display with Lenovo USB Port Replicator 43R8770

Hi,
I have installed the Lenovo USB port replicator using the 1.0.0.1 drivers. I am running Windows XP on a Thinkpad X300.
I can successfully get into dual display mode but when I try to make the external monitor my primary display it will not work. It just switches my primary monitor back the notebook LCD without displaying any errors.
If I disable the notebook display I can set the external as the primary but as long as the notebook is enable the external cannot be set as the primary.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I know it's an old discussion, but I wanted to post instructions on getting the dual-monitor setup working, as it took me a while to get it right.  This is using a Lenovo x301 with Windows XP SP3,
Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator and 2 Dell 19" 1280x1024 analog flat panel monitors (I know..I know...)  My
boss didn't want to use the Laptop display.  Just the two external monitors.  Note: before proceding, please make
sure you've installed the Port Replicator drivers.
Connect left monitor (primary display) to x301 VGA port.
Connect right monitor (extended display) to Port Replicator VGA port.
Click on the Intel(r) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile icon in the system tray and select GRAPHICS OPTIONS --> OUTPUT TO --> MONITOR
Click on the Lenovo Display Adapter icon in the system tray and select EXTEND TO --> RIGHT
Hope someone finds this helpful down the road.

USB Port Replicator 2nd monitor doesn't work on restart with Vista

Greetings wise wizards of Lenovo:
I'm helping a friend with the USB Port Replicator, who is running Windows Vista Home Premium on her Acer laptop. She has all of the necessary hardware requirements, and I've installed the Lenovo USB Port Replicator drivers with once with Vista (automatically installing the drivers), once with the CD, and finally from the Lenovo website. The problem is that the port replicator works fine upon installation, but as soon as Vista is restarted, not only does a second monitor not appear automatically, it doesn't appear at all.
Connecting the second monitor to the laptop VGA port works fine, and I can extend the desktop across both the laptop and the second monitor... it is only a problem on restart with the port replicator. I've uninstalled and resintalled three times now, once with letting Vista provide the drivers automatically, once with the CD, and once with the website download.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Zovoth

Mines not working on XP. Works fine until I re-boot then I have a hard time getting it to work. I've tried unplugging the ac adapter, usb, tried switching my monitors and still nothing. Both monitors are functioning properly. The icon for the repilicator does not show up down the clock. It's in my program files with the only option to uninstall.
Comon Lenovo, there hasn't been an answer to this question since 2008???

Enhanced USB Port Replicator under Vista with blank taskbar

I have an annoying bug where the vista taskbar goes blank under Vista. I'm running an X300 with the Enhanced USB Port Replicator attached to an external monitor. I have set the external monitor as the primary monitor. With this configuration, the taskbar usually goes blank -- i.e. the taskbar shows nothing except a window frame and the start button. There are no applications shown, no quicklaunch icons, no tooltray icons... nothing. The taskbar is still functioning correctly, and it will show thumbnails of open applications, or allow you to click on any items that are there but not displayed. Any idea why this bug is there or how to fix it.
I found it really annoying and problematic till I found an quick workaround... unlock the taskbar and stretch it out and it will begin displaying properly again.

I have an X301 running Vista Business. The 2 second freezes are really annoying.
Has anyone tried the displaylink driver http://www.displaylink.com/downloads.html to see if it helps?

Enhanced USB port replicator 43R8811 and dual monitor

I have problem with USB port replicator. I cannot put a right resolution to monitor (wide screen monitor). Replicator's settings say that I can use up to 1280x1024 resolution but monitor support i.e. 1400x1050 resolution which port replicator should support by user manual.
If I put monitor direct to my X300 laptop I can use monitor's right resolution (1680x1050).
Is it drivers problem or what that I cannot put a right settings?
-Paul-

I'm having trouble understanding your phrasing.
The Enhanced USB Port Replicator I recently purchased supports 1440x900 and can be configured to do so. I did have to install the drivers by downloading from the web (they were provided on a CD -- convenient since my laptop came with no CD/DVD drive :-). Once the drivers were installed, it happily suports 1440x900. Did you already install the software? Older versions of the port replicator don't support above 1280x1024, but that should not be the case with the Enhanced one.
So you should be able to set any resolution up to 1440x900.
Of course "1400x1050" would be a higher resolution than 1440x900, and thus not supported right?
