Does the docking station for the L420 work for a T430?  If not, will the T400 docking station work with a T430?

  • T430 docking stations - which one should I get?

    I am getting ready to start a new job that allows me to provide my own laptop.  I want to setup a dock for my T430 with one monitor.
    Does anyone have a favorite docking station - it appears that 3 or 4 work. they look the same to me....
    I wonder if WIDI works well enough for a second extended monitor.
    Thanks!

    Bump - can anyone offer any advice?

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Yes it will, but without the benefit of USB 3.0 on the dock.

  • T430 Docking station sleep issues

    I have a t430 running Windows 8.  I can set the sleep mode when the T430 is not docked but when the computer is docked, it goes into sleep mode in less than 5 minutes if the computer is being used. 
    I have tried to adjust the setting and they work when undocked but have no effect when in the docking station. 
    It is a major problem as I am sometimes connected to the company server and it kicks you out in sleep mode and you have to login again.  The server is not the issue as it does it when not connected to the server also.

  • 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.

  • Universal docking station for Lenovo T430 and X201

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a universal docking station for both my T430 en my X201 laptop.
    It has to have a minimum of 2 usb ports + a HDMI exit to connect to my TV. A displayport (normal or mini) is also ok.
    THX in advance for the help.

    You would need usb port replicator options, but do note that these devices require usb 3.0 ports. So for your X201 you may need need to get an expresscard usb 3.0 adapter.

  • Docking station under Linux, T430/W530

    Hi all!
    How are the docking stations working under Linux? I am thinking especially of the T430 and W530 series. Also, is it possible to run three monitors on only the integrated graphics (HD4000)? I know it is supported on chip level, but does Lenovo enable this feature on the motherboard/docking station, or do I have to run the discrete card to get three monitors?

    Unfortunately, no. The VGA outputs seems to be dead, I don't know if they are actually broken or if it's just a driver thingie. However, having two external monitors using nVidia TwinView and a little hack found here: http://blog.gordin.de/post/optimus-guide is possible. Unfortunately, my window manager does not handle TwinView very well, and I am still to find a working solution for running two separate monitors on the digital outputs.

  • Recommended docking station for T430

    Searched Lenovo.com but it has no specific listings for T430. Looking for a dock that would give me a dual monitor setup.
    Also, I only have the integrated HD4000 card, can I still get dual video from the dock?
    thanks!

    This docking station should be compatible with your T430: ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 It doesn't list the T430 but I am showing it to be compatible.  Your HD4000 card should be able to support two monitors as well.
     There are four other docks that should work with the T430:
    • ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 – 4337-10U
    • ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 with USB 3.0 – 4337-15U
    • ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 – 4338-10U
    • ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 – 4338-15U
    As I understand it the regular docks have 1 VGA, 1 DVI and 1 DisplayPort while the Plus version has 1 VGA, 2 DVI and 2 DisplayPort. In all cases however you can only use any two of the ports at the same time to drive two external displays. So you would need the Plus version only if you wanted to use 2 of the same port type simultaneously.

  • T430 No Video in Dock Station

    I have a T430 and Dock Station 433710U.  I have an older monitor HP L1940T with max 1280X1024 resolution attached to the VGA port on the docking station.  I lowered the resolution on the laptop to 1024X768.  When I turn on the laptop I see the "Starting Windows" splash screen and then it goes blank.  No video. 
    Undocked I have gotten it work okay as an external projector. 
    Hopefully someone can help.

    Yea for some reason the video pauses and just the sound continues. That is disappointing I used to watch small videos while working.

  • DVI/HDMI connection for Thinkpad R61 (with IBM 2504 Docking station) and Samsung LNT4665F LCD TV

    I am trying to connect my laptop (Thinkpad R61) with my TV (Samsung LNT4665F) using a DVI/HDMI cable. Because the R61 doesn't have a DVI port, I am using it in the IBM 2504 Docking station. I have docked the computer, connected the DVI/HDMI cord (using HDMI in 1 on the TV, which I believe is the only DVI accepted HDMI on the TV). I followed the Samsung instructions to then hit "Fn-F7" on the laptop. Unfortunately, nothing is happening. It doesn't appear that any signal is pushing out to the TV.
    I am not very tech savvy. Can someone please tell me what I need to do?
    Thanks for your help.

    if your R61 uses an intel GPU, then it won't support the dvi passthrough port on the dock. 
    The 14" models with intel GMA have DVI pass through.
    @ bweisy, welcome to the forum,
    Which model R61 do you have? Could post the Type and Model Number Please do NOT post your s/n.

  • T42 docking station problem

    Hi all.
     Having this weird issue with one of our worker's T42. Whenever she connects her T42 to a docking station and closes the lid of the laptop, mouse starts moving around, no emails can be selected in outlook, no option to restart the computer (start->shutdown brings up the dialog window, but can't choose anything from there.) 
    She has tried another dock, but no difference, same problems.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Lullaby, welcome to the forum,
    Some suggestions to try;
    1) replace the dome TrackPoint cap with the Traditional "hairy" one, it has a lower profile.
    2) remove the Trackpoint cap all together
    3) ensure that the keyboard is seated properly, removal and installation instructions can be found here (You could maybe also try bending the keyboard a bit if you remove it)
    4) disable the Trackpoint using the UltraNav utility or in BIOS
    As you can probably guess, I believe your problem maybe that the Trackpoint is in contact with the screen when closed.
    Hope this helps

  • 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.

  • Is docking station compatible for T400 and T520?

    Since 2 years I am working on a T400 laptop with a Lenovo ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock for Z,T & R 60 Series. I am thinking of buying a T520 laptop and would like to know if this docking station is compatible? The shop says it is not, and I have to buy the Minidock Series 3, but I don't know if they are honest. Hope someone has experience with this.

    Business_user, welcome to the forum,
    the shop is being honest with you; they are not compatible.  You can check this yourself by downloading a copy of the Options Compatability Matrix from this site.

  • T450s and docking stations : don't understand differences and limitations

    Hi,
    As you may have seen in my previous posts, I leave my previous company and my good old X220. So I am really wondering if I upgrade or not to the new T450s, or if I search for a X220/X230/T420s/T430s refurbished.
    One of my main concern, is the total display size when docked. I used to use quad FHD screens on my old X220, and I was thinking about increasing again the total display size by replacing 2 FHD screen by 1 4K monitor. However, it seems impossible to run 1 4K and 2 FHD simultaneously.
    So my question is, Where can I find the differences and limitations of the docking stations available for the T450s regarding the display size ability ?
    On the product sheet of the docking stations , Lenovo said "* Some of the video ports have exclusive use and are also dependent on the docked ThinkPad configuration".
    Ok, but where can I have this information ?
    Many thanks for your answers,
    Lenovo X220 4287-CTO / Intel Core i7 2640M @ 2.8 / Corsair Vengeance 16 Go@1866 MHz CL10 / Samsung SSD 840 PRO 512 Go / Bios 1.38 / Linux Xubuntu 14.04LTS / eGPU ATI Radeon 5870 Eyefinity 6 / 2x DELL U2142M / 2x DELL U2212HM

    According to https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/quick-reference-guide-to-intel-processor-graphics,
    For HD5500 on U processor : 
    Independent Digital Displays : Yes (at most, 3 displays may be supported at one time)
    Maximum Display Resolution : U-Processors: 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
    So 4 displays won't be possible on T450s.
    So, I guess, you can run :
    1 4K display @ 60hz 
    OR
    something like 3 FHD/WUXGA displays
    If someone can confirm...
