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)

  • HP Docking Station EN488AA - part number for power adapter

    Hi,
    I have a HP Compaq nx8220 notebook, with a HP Docking Station (EN488AA).
    Unfortunately I have lost the power supply for the docking station.
    I still have the power supply for the notebook itself (393955-001) but it does not plug in to the docking station. It is the correct voltage but only 90W instead of 120W, and the connector is the wrong size.
    I've been looking online for the part number for the correct replacement power supply for the dock, but became very confused when I found sites advertising the same replacement part for both the nx8220 and the EN488AA when clearly they are different because the plugs don't match. None specify the plug size so I don't know which is which.
    Can anyone help me identify the correct replacement part? Or better still, is there a plug adapter available so I can use my existing power supply for the dock too?
    Attached are two photos - the plug from the power adapter next to the inlet of the notebook (fits) and the dock (doesn't fit).
    Thanks,
    EddieD97

    The pin in picture looks liek a 5mm pin and one one on docking station is a smart pin. So you would need something like the one in picture in this link.
    In the picture observe the component in left hand bottom corner.

    I would say, take the adaptor to store and get one.
    Wish you luck,

  • Which docking station do I buy for a HPG70-463C​L?\\

    I have a HPG70=463CL with Windows 7 on it and I believe it is 64-bit.  I want to purchase a docking station but don't know which one is compatible with mine so I can hook it up with my monitor and keyboard.

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - 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.

  • Toshiba USB Dynadock vs Lenovo dedicated port docking station

    Thanks for that. I suspected USB's would be inferior.

    Has anyone used the Toshiba Dynadock U3.0?We have been using Lenovo x201, x230 laptops etc. with a purpose made Lenovo dock that uses a docking port on the base of the machine. These allow the laptop to sit on the dock with the lid closed and the connected devices (monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.) all working.We are considering replacing these with Toshiba Portege Z20 or Z30 etc. laptops which seem to only have the option of a USB 3 dock.Can anyone describe how the dock works, in terms of whether or not the laptop needs to be open for the dock to work? How does this operate if the user just wants to use it as a desktop (ignoring the laptop itself).Is there a sequence for docking and undocking or can the cable just be plugged in to go?And finally, does the Dynadock support multiple external monitors? Cant tell this from the limited info...

    It really won't matter which device you use to purchase and download the rental, though if your computer has a wired connection to the Internet, it may be a bit less susceptible to problems than the iPad's Wifi connection. For instructions either way, see:

  • Multiple external displays for X220 + ThinkPad Series 3 Docking Station

    I have ThinkPad X220 [PN#4290HT6] and will plan to use 02 external monitors.
    My plan is to buy ThinkPad Series 3 Docking Station and 02 external monitors.
    Is ThinkPad Series 3 Docking Station working with 02 external monitors by my X220?
    Which ports of Docking to be used [VGA or DVI]?
    Thank you!!

    I would be verry happy if you could post the results of your check (the "amperage" especially).
    Yes, I am aware that there are 2 versions (with and without eSATA). The one I have ordered is unfortunately the newer one, with USB 3.0 (no eSATA). But from reading other threads I know that the eSATA port on the docking station is limited - it is not powered (eSATA-p, but plain eSATA), in contrast to the laptop port, so I will not be missing this feature so much as I thought I would. I will still connect directly to the laptop port instead. Why?
    I'm using one-cable connection (powered eSATA cable eSATA-p connector to normal SATA drive connector) to connect external 2.5" drive to easily boot the alternative system. Great solution, by the way, and very cheap, cost of ca. 10EUR incl shipment (Delock is the only brand I've found that produces such cables). I never liked the need to have additional power adapter or USB power connection for SATA connection - too many cables for me. So initially I was looking for the older version of docking station. But after reading about the above limitations of eSATA port on docking station, I gave up, because I would still need additional USB cable to power it up when connecting to the docking station.
    Unfortunaltely, all W-series compatible docking stations are very rare on the used market here in Poland, so I didn't have too many possibilities to choose from.

  • Where Can I Find Compatible Docking Station for Lenovo G780

    Hi representative,
    I have a lenovo G780 laptop and I am looking for a docking station that matches the G780. The model name is 2182,
    I have searched the lenovo shop but I cannot find any docking station that matches. Could you please help me find which docking station model that works for my G780 and where I can buy that docking station.
    Thanks for your help.

    As far as I know there is no custom-designed docking station for the G780. Instead, consider a port replicator like Lenovo USB 3.0 Port Replicator. It connects to your G780 using a single USB port so it's almost as convenient as a docking station.

  • Laptop HP DV6-2088dx - what kind of dock station will work with it?

    what kind of dock station will work with it?

    Hi John,
    Please find answer below
    1 -- What are the specs of a laptop that can handle CS 6?
    It depends on the application you will use and install. Video apps like Premiere pro, After effects have higher requirement as compare to InDesign, Illustrator etc. Please review the tech specs for each application. This link will help with the details :System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite 6
    2 -- Can I sign up for Creative Cloud services for, say, a couple months and then suspend the service when I'm back to using my desktop? What's the pricing for that?
    Yes, you can, You can find the pricing details creative.adobe.com/plans
    3 -- Can I use Creative Cloud when I don't have access to Internet because internet service is sporadic or non-existent in northwoods?
    No, you can't. You need internet atleast once to activate the software.
    4 -- Can I easily transfer projects from CS 6 laptop to CS 5.5 on desktop?
    It depends on file format. File format like JPEG, PSD, TIFF etc are universal and shall work perfectly fine between CS6 and CS5.5 however format like INDD will be a concern as InDesign file saved in newer version could not be opened in older version directly.
    5 --  Alternatively, can I simply install my existing CS 5.5 in a new laptop?
    Yes, you can.
    Hope this helps

  • Thinkpad 433835U Docking Station W520 - USB Ports Not Working

    I have recently purchased the 433835U Docking Station and have the same issue in which when I have my W520 docked, NONE of the USB ports work at all. In Device Manager, I have an Unknown Device with the Hardware Ids of:
    USB\VID_17EF&PID_100A&REV_0000 and USB\VID_17EF&PID_100A.
    Yesterday I had a technician come on-site and replace the motherboard on my W520 and I am having the same results. I am also the owner of a Lenovo T410s and when using the same 433835U Dock, all of the USB ports work as expected, so it can not be a problem with the docking station.
    I have called Lenovo Technical Support for the past two days and was told that there could be a compatibility issue with the W520 and this dock and I can not find the proper driver for the Unknown Device Hardware Ids listed above.
    Do the USB port on this 433835U Docking Station work at all for anyone else with a W520?
    Can anyone provide and insight as to resolve this Unknown Device issue?  I am thinking about purchasing the 433830U Docking Station to see if it might work.
    Thanks much in advance

    I have the 433830U dock and the USB ports all work fine with my W520.

  • When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

    I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
    When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?
    Olivia Davey

    You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
    http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
    so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:
    http://www.thelightningdock.com/products/iphone-5-dock
    If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

  • Are there any MBA "Docking Stations"?

    Would like to use my MBA as a desktop system while at home. Looking for a docking station that is made for the MBA. Anyone see any options?
    I would like one that holds the closed lid MBA so I can just run off the external display to save the MBA screen some life as I will use it for hours at home. Maybe running closed lid will keep the built in display live longer.
    tj

    Like ahostmadsen, when I am working in my home-office I connect my MBA:
    - via USB socket to a powered USB hub which is connected to a Lacie hard drive, Lacie DVD/CD writer, iPhone
    - via the Micro DVI port to a Sony 19" external monitor
    - via bluetooth to a cordless mouse
    - via airport express to my hi-fi and a colour printer
    The three cables that connect to the MBA (power lead, USB and VGA) are bound together for convenience. I use a second power cable when travelling.
    This arrangement works well for and my desk is relatively uncluttered.
