T400 with docking stations, ThinkPad Advanced Dock and ThinkPad Dock II

Hello,
I think of buying the ThinkPad T400 with one of these docking stations: ThinkPad Advanced Dock or ThinkPad Dock II.
I have several technical questions and haven't found neither appropriate information, nor the way to get it.
Here are my questions:
1. Do these docking stations support DVI when T400 with integrated (not discrete) graphics is connected?
2. Where can I find a complete list of UltraBay devices supported by each one of these docking stations?
Thanks

I have a T400 with integrated graphics and recently purchased the Advanced Mini Dock 250410U. The Advanced Dock and Advanced Mini Dock support DVI pass-through. I looked into this before purchasing as well.
This page will confirm the feature: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-72148. Also see reference guide for docking stations: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4TPJF4 which says ThinkPad Dock II is discontinued. This brochure says the Advanced Mini Dock does not support Ultrabay, but the Advanced Dock does. http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options_iso/tp_docking_solutions_june09.pdf .

Advanced interactions and custom effects

Me again,
I am still having problems with custom effects in advanced actions and even though this has been escalated to senior support within adobe - i have today been told that what i am trying to do is impossible.
I am starting to worry that what i am doing is incorrect and that what i want captivate to do is limited. i cant believe that it is but i just can not seem to get it to work - please help me i am tearing my hair out.
thanking you in advnace

I could reproduce your problem. I checked the XML-file, and there the duration is correctly set to 0.5secs.
When applying the custom effect time-based or using an interactive object, that duration is correct.
But discovered (was using CP7) that when applying a custom effect by advanced action, the duration for Stretch (and for several other effects) reverts to the custom duration and even that it is independent of the duration of the object timeline, which is really strange. You can make the object duration as long or as short as you want, the duration of the effect is always the same when applied by advanced actions. Even if you use one of the default effects.
Will try to find out what happens... no solution for the moment, just discovered this. Would like to go back to 5 or 5.5 because I don't remember it was the case there, but that will be for later.

T61p dual monitor with docking station, maximum resolution

I wonder what is the maximal resolution one can get with the quadro fx 570m. I specially want to reach the 2560x1600+2560x1600 with two 30'' monitors. Does anyone know about it or have experience with it?
dual monitor with docking station

You will need the huge docking station with Dual-Display Port & DVI. Then it should work, but you will only be able to use 2 displays at once (one external+laptop LCD or 2 external). But I think you already know that.
VGA on such resolution would be suicidal and i doubt it would even work.

Labview for laptop with dock station.

I use labview on desk top computer and it works fine. But, after I use it on a laptop with dock station, it does not work. I use the exact setting and configuration and I have no idea why does not work? Any suggestion. Thanks.

There isn't any kind of information you've provided for anyone to be able to help you.
"It does not work" could mean millions of things. How is it not working?
What "exact setting and configuration" are you talking about?
Does it work when the laptop is not on the docking station?

IPod will not work with docking stations

My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
Any ideas??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Thinkpad T420 with Dock 4338 Dual External Monitors won't work

Hey Everyone,
I recently purchased a T420 with Dock Model 4338 and am trying to connect two external monitors. I want to have my desktop visible on my primary monitor with laptop closed and that desktop extended onto my second external monitors. Both external monitors are Dell 19", one is being ran through the VGA port on the dock and the other is a VGA cord that I put a VGA to DVI-D adapter on to run off of one of the DVI Ports on the dock. I can get my desktop to display on the main external monitor, and everything detects the other monitor fine, but the extended monitor remains black. The screen is on, and recognized as the button light on the monitor is green not yellow and i can scroll my mouse over to that window and i lose the mouse so it's extending just not visible. I have made sure that both monitors work by checking each individually in the VGA port and they are operational, but the DVI-D port doesn't seem to work on my second monitor.
I have done some pretty extensive searching and can't seem to get this to work. At my job I have a T430 with the same dock and dual monitor setup that took no time and works great. Does the T420 just not support this?
All help is appreciated.
Thank you all,
NickG

DVI-D don't support passive dvi to VGA adapter. You are better off with a displayport to VGA adapter, as they are cheaper then a dvi-d to VGA converter.

IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?

Older iPod and Viewsonic Monitor with dock

Hello All,
I just bought the 22" Viewsonic LCD monitor with iPod dock on it. I have an older 40gig iPod. (almost 4 years old)
The doc sync's with my iPod and iTunes just fine, BUT it does not charge. I originally thought that it was an issue with the monitor, but after repacking and replacing it, I still have the issue on my new monitor.
Is there some kind of charging issue with the older iPods and this dock? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
v

I just purchased the 22" View Sonic and my 5th Gen Video iPod won't even sync with iTunes. In fact I get an error messagage from windows saying the devices is not working.

Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1. This is the highest version that works on this device. I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
Apple does make it harder than it needs to be. There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

T400 and Incompatibility with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC Hal.dll

I manage the master XP image for our company and I have managed to keep 1 master image for every model of laptop hardware we have, from older P3's all the way to the T61's using the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC Hal.dll. During the sysprep process, the user would have the option to update the HAL to the ACPI Multiprocessor PC. Unfortunately, the new T400 and (W500's also) seem to be incompatibile with this HAL. On the sysprepped image, I get a black screen on initial boot-up. On reboot, I am asked if I want to start in safe mode. I also played around with the Standard PC HAL and it also exhibited the same problems. The only HALs that will work are the ACPI Uniprocessor PC HAL and ACPI Multiprocessor PC. Using either one of these HALs on my master image could be incompatibile with older hardware. I hate to have to move to maintaining two images. Anybody have any experience in getting the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC HAL working on these new Lenovo models? Thanks in advance.

Go to Solution.

I also have the same problem.
I have a hardware independant image that i have built in MS VPC / MS VS05 which is then sysprep'd and captured into a WIM file.
Before i built my base image in the virtual environment, i configured all the automation files used to install windows, to include the latest Intel Matrix drivers v8.5, including the sysprep files in the base image.
I have a custom WinPE v2.1 that the machine boots of the network, and runs a vbscript in the background to partition the disks, and map drives to the network, it then extracts the WIM file to the hard disk, and copies the required drivers from the network share for the model being imaged, and then proceeds to updating the sysprep.inf.
One of the process's that is performed is checking what HAL to write into the sysprep file.
I have forced all the different types of HAL's by hard coding them in the sysprep, but after the machine reboots i get the black screen of nothing and no hard disk activity, if i reboot into safe mode it freezes on agpCPQ.sys.
I use this build process to support around 5,000 different machines at two different companies, there is proberly about 30 different models of machines that are supported by this image, (HP, Acer, Toshiba, IBM, Lenovo)and i only have the issue with the new Lenovo x301, T400 & T500.
I have spoken with Lenovo Australia, and dealt directly with the advanced system engineers and even forwarded them a copy of my image for testing, so far they have not been able to provide a solution.
They also sent me a copy of the restore disks for those models and windows xp installed without an issue, but the difference is that their image does a fully automated install where as my image is a sysprep'd image.
I checked the machines HAL type after it was imaged, and it is the same as the HAL used inside my VM Image.

Mircosoft wireless mouse problem in X220 with docking

Hi,
I have an issue about X220 with docking.
When I un-dock the laptop for meeting, the Microsoft wireless mouse is working fine. However, when I finish the meeting and re-dock on the docking station, both the wireless mouse and keyboard is not working. I tried to unplug and plug in the wireless receiver but cannot solve the issue.
Since I have lots of meeting and this problem is really annoying me. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.
Thanks.
Ivan

Hi, gogpop
For the issue with the wireless mouse, I would recommend uninstalling the UltraNav driver from Device Manager. The UltraNav driver, in my experience, can sometimes cause issues with the mouse. To uninstall the driver, open the Charms Bar from the right side of the screen and select Search. Type Device Manager into the search bar, then select Settings from underneath the search bar. Device Manager should now be visible on the left side of the screen. Select it. When in Device Manager, open the tree for Mice and other pointing devices. Right-click on ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device (if available) and select Properties. Select the Driver tab and then click on Uninstall... at the bottom. Follow the prompts to remove the driver and then restart the system. After the uninstallation of the UltraNav driver, Windows should install a generic driver, which may help your issue.
As added security and reliability, I would also recommend installing the base Synaptics driver from here. Synaptics is the same company that makes the UltraNav driver, but their base driver seems to have less issues, so it's definitely worth a shot.
As for the wireless issues, I would recommend navigating to Control Panel ► Programs and Features and uninstalling the Intel Management Engine Driver (if here.) This program is sometimes found on machines with Intel wireless cards and its removal can greatly help wireless issues.
Lastly, if you haven't already, I would also make sure that all drivers and BIOS are up to date, all of which can be found here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Portege R700 with docking can't switch automatically to external display

Hi!
In the past we bought a lot of A600, S10, R500, and we bought always a docking for each laptop here in Desjardins.
Now we have a little problem with the new R700 Model: PT318C-00G001,
We bought 30 of them.
WHY when we put it on the docking (with the screen close) it can't display/switch automaticaly to the external display? (here a 22inc LCD)
It is plug with the HDMI/DVI cable. And when we get the display on by ajusting in the intel graphic and media control panel (V 6.14.10.5258), after a reboot out of the docking the screen is all buzzy.... sometime the two screen are dark, and we must use some key combinaison to switch.
It is really not user friendly for our user.....
With the older model like the A600 or S10, all have always worked well, if we are on the dock, the screen pop right on the LCD external display, if I shut it down, ondock it and boot it up all is alright on the laptop's screen.
we are on Windows XP Pro SP3.
I tried the Toshiba display device change utility and the Toshiba Mobile extension. wich are not more clear...
Thanks for your help.

Did you install a Vanilla version of Windows? Or was XP installed from the Toshiba Recovery Disc?
Maybe you are missing some important drivers (common modules for example). Also ensure you are using the Display Drivers from the Toshiba Website.
Also try a BIOS Update (v1.70 is the latest I think).
