i don´t want to trash the dock!!! please Help!

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):

  • USB media docking station won't wake up pc

    using the USB media docking station with Toshiba Satellite laptop. If it goes into sleep mode for more than an hour, I need to open the laptop lid in order to wake up the PC. With my old HP laptop, I could simply move my external mouse or press any key on my external keyboard to wake it up

    it could be that the speakers that is having the issue. Does your coworker's laptop work with the speakers when plugged directly into the laptop?
    I have encountered this problem before, when the cable was actually leaking current back through the cable that connects to the headphone port (3.5 mm jack).

  • Trouble with multi-media docking station

    I have used my multi-media docking station every night since I got the phone in September. Last night I put my phone in and went to sleep only to wake up at 5 and realize that its not charging.
    I took the phone off and put it back on and it still won't charge. After several tries I got up and got my usb charger and my phone charges fine on it.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

    Did you try taking the plug out of the back of the docking station and then reinserting it. Maybe it was knocked loose.

  • Docking Station T430, Graphic interfaces from notebook and docking station usable at once?

    Dear community,
    I have a Thinkpad T430 and I want to use two external monitors.
    The Thinkpad T430 has just one mini Displayport and I do not want to use the VGA port.
    So I thought about buying a docking station.
    But there are several ones.
    I just need an additional (Miini)Display or DVI port.
    The question is, if I buy a docking station
    which provides an addition Mini Display Port or an additional DVI port am I able to use the one from the docking station and the notebook's integrated mini display port?
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards

  • XB3000 Docking Station Video Problem

    I got an XB3000 docking station and connected my DV8000.  The USB and sound works, but cannot get the external monitor to see a signal from the XB3000.  I have used the Fn + F4 button to turn on external video, but no response seen.  I have tried the VGA and also the Component connections.
    I know the external monitor works, because I have used it directyl connected to the DV8000 VGA connector.  Any suggestions?
    The DV8000 is running Windows XP.
    HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!
    Regards,
    Dale

    I did the same thing but just the component does not send the video to my HD tv!
    I just got a xb3000 and I hooked up the component red green and blue to my HD tv and I can not get it to wor? The touchsmart TX2Z-1000 on the other hand works great with the XB 3000.What drivers do I need? Where can I get this to work for expanding my viewing to the HD TV?
    Thanks

  • W520 docking station audio problems

    My new W520 is nice but it has a few quirks:
    1.  When plugged into the docking station, my external speakers (Klipshe desktop) have bad background noise, like  grinding metal when volume knob is at 20% or more.   Unplugging the audio (green) cable from the docking station eliminates the noise, and the cable works great when plugged into my iPhone.  The noise is apparently coming from the docking station!
    2.  Undocking the W520 causes the audio to no longer work.   The Control Panel, Sound page shows just "Conexant 20672 SmartAudio HD" default device.   That test results in "Failed to play test tone".
    Any help or recommendations is appreciated !
    Thank you,
    Steve 

    Also please check Lenovo.com for an updated driver.  I think there have been 2 drivers out in the past 3 weeks for the Conexant.

  • Docking station charge problem

    Hi, my name is Chester, Why does the docking station have a usb jack to plug into the pc if it doesn't work? I did not receive an adaptor with it to be able to plug it into a wall socket! What now?
    thank you

    hi, the charing dock can only be used to charge the phone. it can't be use to transfer file from your computer.
    just plug the charging dock with the power adapter that comes with your phone and you're ready to charge.

  • Need expansion port 3 docking station for dv6-1211ax for home use .... suggestions please ...

    i have a dv6-1211ax laptop and planning to get a hp expansion port 3 based docking station for home use ...  can anyone suggest or comment on how they really perform ..

    I have a pair of HP XB4 Notebook Media Docking Stations being used on two DV7s.  I think they work quite well, unlike the current docking stations they use the expansion port 3 and you can power both the laptop and the docking stations from a single power supply.  Speaker sound especially subwoofer is much better than the laptops (these are 2009 and 2010 model DV7s so they have the Altec Lansing speakers (as does the docking station) vs. the 2011 laptop Beats Audio.
    I also like the way the docking station raises the laptop 6-8 inches above desk level.
    Do make sure your system is using the expansion port 3 though since at least some of the 2011 systems no longer have the expansion port (the connection from the station to the laptop is via USB 2.0 hopefully at some time the new docking stations will be updated to use USB 3.0) along with the laptops.
    For a laptop that is being used a Desktop replacement I would highly recommend the XB4
    p.s since HP doesn't sell them anymore you may have to go to Ebay, Amazon or a wholeseller)

  • No sound from xb4 Docking Station

    Using the HP Entertainment PC with the xb4 Media Docking Station.  Can not get the mute button to turn off on the docking station. It will control the notebook volume and mute buttons, but will not turn it off on the station.  The notebook sounds great until it is plugged into the station, and it becomes silent.  No sound coming from the speakers at all. Purchased the entire package 4 months ago, talked with hp tech. support for several hours, and just received the third docking station today yet I'm still having the same problem.  The second docking station worked great for about 2 months, then the computer was disconnected and once the computer was reconnected the problem emerged.  The first and third stations had the problem from the first connection.  The only thing plugged into the station is the power adapter. 
     Please if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!! 

    I do suffer the same pain, i just received the (XB4) replacement from Hp, because I've been having the same problem, and after hours with tech support finally they agree to send it!!! and guess what...... the same old history, no sound come out, the funny thing is that my wife has one xb4 too, and we had been doing all kind of trouble shooting tests and my wife's docking st. works perfect, now I can't express my how far my frustration has reached.
    Anyway I do recommend to send your Docking Station + Replacement Docking Station and get your Money back or exchange it for some other product, because I really and strongly believe that my time is more important and valuable than dealing with this kind of issues where i paid for a quality product and it results not to be, and/plus uses my time in order to figure out how to fix it (i don't think so!!!).
    This is a Bad one Hp, i like your products, but this one really got me out my nerves.
    Have a nice day, and hope to hear something helpful from HP soon

  • Expansion base and dock stations

    i love expansion base and my dock station  xb3000, the speakers are great, is fantastic, i bought my last laptop because i could connect with, so i want to know if HP is going to do more expansion base,
    two years ago i bought a souchsmart tx2 `1015, onlu because had expansion base
    now my old presario is to slow, is getting to old...i need to buy i new one very soon, i would like one  with expansion base,
    so i want to know if HP is going to have expansion base in some new model of laptop notebook
    my dock station is  a great product
    please do not stop to make a good product!

    Unfortunately docking stations, like firewire ports and pcmcia slots, are disappearing from laptops other than the very highest end business models. So right now no consumer model has a traditional snap down docking station. The only models that do are the Elitebook, Probook, Zbook lines:

  • Laptop docking station

    Hi
    Please advise if I can get a laptop docking station for my HP Pavilion G6-1386?

    Hi,
    The only choice which you have is HP USB Media Port Replicator or HP USB Media Docking Station (the same replicator + stand + speakers system).

  • Dock-station for T520, Quad-Core.. (+long life battary)

    Hello,
    I've just bought Lenovo ThinkPad T520 (4242RK2), and looking for dock-station, the problem is that everywhere is written "suitable for  ... T520 Dual-core..." Why is it so? Does it mean that if I have i7 Quad-core processor, then there is no dock station yet?
    and one more question, you have 9-cell battaries, do you have long-life 9-cell? or all of them are long-life? Mybe just tell me which battary do you advice to use with t520 for the longest time to use lapton without charging, and also considering battary live overall.
    thank you!

    Go to Solution.

    T520 quad core CPU uses the Series 3 dock for mobile workstation with the 135 watt adapter.
    Basically the version with 90 watt adapter would also work, but you would need to use your 135 watt adapter with it to get the maximum speed.
    There are the 9 cells normal that you insert in the battery bay, and there is another 9 cells slice (called 27++) that you can attach to the bottom of the laptop to use in conjunction with the normal 9 cells battery.

  • HP XB4 Media Notebook Docking Station

    I am looking at purchasing an XB4 docking station for my DV6000 laptop and was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the HDMI port on the laptop is still functional whilst the laptop is connected to the dock, because i would like to connect to a full HD monitor and would prefer to use the HDMI port over the VGA that is integrated into the dock.
    Thanks,

    just wondering if you ever found such  an adapter for the cable, i find myself in the same possition. New laptop and not port to fit my HP xb4 Docking Station
