Elitebook 8530w Docking Station Compatibility

I'm trying to find out from an 8530w owner how well their machine fits in a 2008 dock (preferably the 2008 advanced dock).
I find that my laptop pulls off easily from the right hand side without pressing the release button. I've tried the same machine on a few other docks at work (all 2008 advanced docks) with the same result. The left hand clip seems to engage well (I can't pull the laptop off the dock even with moderate force), but a very mild tug on the right side of the machine causes it to come free.
There are no obvious obstructions I can see on the base of the laptop so I'm at a loss as to why this happens.
Given that I expect to be able to lock my laptop in my dock, this is obviously a security issue.

Bump...

  • Elitebook 8530w docking station options

    When I search for docking stations online, I find lots of options, but one that specifically mention compatibility with my Elitebook 8530w.  That one is $300.  Any less expensive options? 

    $50 on ebay:

  • Docking station compatibility

    I have a Bush docking station CSPK10i.  It charges my ipod touch  but I can't play music as when the ipod is dockd the volume slider won't work. as soon as I take it out of the docking station I have sound again.  ipod works in other docking stations ok.  Is there a compatibility problem with Bush products or is there a fix I can apply?  It has worked fine until I upgraded o/s.

    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.
    Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case yo will have to wait for an iOS update or an update tot he firmware for the dock. Have you went to the dock manufacture's support site?

  • Docking Station compatability for 8730W and 8560P - KP081AA?

    Hello -
    I'm using a KP081AA for my 8730W with no issues even though it isn't listed as being compatible. I need to use a 8560P on this docking station as well. Will it work also?
    Thanks -
    Ty

    Neither is on the official compatibility list but without seeing the laptop it is hard to say if the docking connector is the same on the two laptops. I would do a google image search on the 8560p and see if the dock connector looks the same as the 8730w.

  • T410 Docking Station Compatibility

    I just ordered a new T410 to replace a T61.  I have an advanced docking station, Type 2503, will this docking station work with the T410?  Thank you.

    After doing a little more research, I noticed the Lenovo site shows the Hardware Compatibility for the Advanced Dock and it lists the T400 - All Models.  Am I wrong to consider the T410 a model variant of the T400?

  • T430 Docking Station Compatability

    Hi,
    Will the T430 work with older docking stations that were designed for the T420?  The Lenovo support website only lists it being compatable with the newer docking stations that include USB 3.0. 
    Thanks for the help!
    Solved!

    >> Will the T430 work with older docking stations that were designed for the T420?
    Yes it will, but without the benefit of USB 3.0 on the dock.

  • New iOS update = no docking station compatability...!!

    After the 6.1 iOS update my iPhone4 no longer works with my iLive docking station. It doesn't charge or play my music through the dock's speakers. I tried restarting my phone and it still doesn't work. I put a friend's iPod on the dock and that worked fine. So I know it has something to do with this update. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?? This is really frustrating...

    I have the same issue with a philips  AJ7040D. just purchased from amazon. The dock alarm clock does not recognize my iphone 4s with ios 6.1.1. Error : "this accessory is not supported by iphone" message shows up on the iphone. Called Philips support and they said the  AJ7040D is no longer compatable with 6.1.1.

  • Xb4 Notebook Media Docking Station Compatibility?

    I am in the market for a new laptop. I bought and have loved using the HP xb4 Notebook Media Docking Station. I would like to buy a new HP laptop that will allow me to continue using the docking station.
    What new HP laptops are compatible with the HP xb4 Notebook Media Docking Station?

    Hi,
    The good news is, it compatible with all laptops which have USB 2.0 ports (you can use USB 3.0 port but won't get USB 3.0 speed):

  • T430 docking station compatibility

    I just ordered a Thinkpad T430 and am considering getting one of the 4337 or 4338 docking stations.  If the T430 were not docked, would any of these docking stations support "docking" my wife's Dell Latitude via a USB cable connection?

    There are two versions of the 4337 dock listed on that page. One is listed as compatible, while the other is listed as not including the T430.
    You should get the 4337 dock with the usb 3.0 port, but the old 4337 dock is also compatible, but the eSATA port on the dock won't work with your machine.

  • Docking Station Compatability

    I was just given a XB2000 docking station and I have a HP ZD8000 laptop but they don't connect to each other and I was wondering if there is an adapter that would make that possible?

    I need an adapter for my xb2000 docking station as I upgraded my laptop.  Newer laptop has a type "3" port and older docking station has type "2" port connection.  I see some folks selling adapters for old laptops to newer docking stations, but I need the opposite.
    PC = type 3 connection.
    Docking station = type 2 connection.
    Any ideas?  I have been searching all over for this.
    Thank you!

  • T500 - what docking stations fit?

    Hi All,
    Since the introduction of the new T500, information about docking station compatibility has not yet been updated on the site - what docking stations fit the T500? Same ones as T61?
    I want to get the Advanced Mini-Dock hence need confirmation that this will fit the T500.
    Thanks, MtothaJ

    ffarzin, welcome to the forum,
    unfortunately not
    There was a change in the power supply between the T4*/R5*/X4* (pre 2007) and the *6 systems; this was one of the reasons that the earlier docking solutions don't fit current models, using the wrong one would be a very quick way to "brick" a system.

    No problem. It is an older monitor. But being a small business, we can't afford to discard a working monitor that costs $1500 to replace.
    The annoying part is that we tried to do a lot of research prior to purchase to find out exactly what resolutions the Lenovo docking solutions supported. We asked our rep to check because of the total lack of Lenovo documenation on this. We would not have wasted all this time trying to get it to work if we had known.
    Even now, no one from Lenovo has come right out and stated that their docking stations don't support Dual Link. I think that they actually have no idea.
    We've been bounced around and around between the same Lenovo sales, support and customer service numbers so many times in the past three days that they are now just dropping our calls in the hope that we will go away. No one at Lenovo has offered a solution of any kind.
    FYI, we've even been told that because we ordered the W540 through CDW that there is 'nothing Lenovo can do.'

  • No Audio comes from my Elitebook 6930p when i connect it to the USB Docking Station

    When ever i connect my Elitebook 6930p to the USB Docking Station, the Audio from my Laptop does not come.
    The Audio works very well, without the USB Connected.
    Looks like the Docking station is bringing the Audio out through its own ports, to be connected to the external speakers.
    However i dont have any external speakers and would like the Audio to come out from the Laptop only.
    The USB Docking station is : HPK HSTNN-S01X(B)
    And my Elitebook is running on Windows XP.
    Please suggest a way to do it.
    Cheers
    Ameet

    Well, it sounds like your windows sets your audio output to your docking device?
    Perhaps you should look from Sound options (in control panel) what playback device is being used when audio comes out right. Then dock it and see if it changes? if it changes, set default device back to what it was when it worked.
    With this info i have i can't help you more. Hope it works.

  • 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.
