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.

No external video on docking station in safe mode?

Hi,
I have xb4 docking station with external monitor, and dv6 laptop; because of space, I only use the external monitor (not the laptop's monitor). Unless full OS is booted, I getno video -- so safe mode, disk check, anything pre-boot, I got squat. It's really hard to do anything without being able to see what's going on.....
Is anyone else experiencing this, with dv6 or other laptops? Do any laptops work correctly (that is, you can see what's going on in safe mode, etc.)?
I would kind of understand if the USB-connected wireless mouse and keyboard didn't work in this mode, but even that is something that could be overcome by including drivers in the BIOS.
If this disturbs you, please let HP know! They won't do anything about it unless "enough" people complain.

I have having a horrific time with Firefox 24 crashing. I have run many anti-virus, tried suggestions on here. Then I decided to run the ADS Spy tool in the Misc. Tools that come with Hijack This from Trend Micro.
The results showed four supposed "Microsoft" folders, that were odd. I am familiar with Microsoft folder types but these were very odd, not only because of where they were, but also because when I tried to find them in the detected location, they were not there!! And I DO have "Show Hidden Files and Folders" enabled.
I looked all over for the folders, inside EVERY other Microsoft folder in "Applications", both in the "All Users" and the personalized one that is also found there as well as in Local Settings. They weren't there either. They were detected as being in: Docs and Settings > Local Users > Applications > Microsoft then named as, (not exact names, I forgot to write them out but these are representative of those names):
* yv9d0fkyxb4e
* vq5stu20izqm
* u3vxf7d5wrk8
* qo0c6ep2vvi1
These are usually the kinds of names tagging viruses/trojans. And I keep close tabs on what is inside folders, I've learned over time to do that, not just rely on antivirus software. It has paid off more than a few times. But these kind of names are usually found as some kind of text files if it's a virus. And I KNOW that they were not there before. I had run ADS Spy about two weeks earlier. With names like that I would have seen them as obviously suspicious.
So.... I deleted them from Hijack This when they were found in a second scan for ADS Spy entries, and once again I could not find them anywhere.
Since then my computer has been working perfectly as has Flash Player and Windows Media Player. Not one crash or glitch and I am on my computer all day and night until bed

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.

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.

No audio when playing YOUTUBE videos on ipod touch via a docking station

Hi there, when my ipod touch is docked on its docking station, it will not play audio on youtube videos, it will play the video but not the audio through the docking station speaker. It used to play audio without problems before, but recently it has stopped. When i take the ipod touch off the docking station the audio on the youtube video returns. any ideas why this has happened? it plays the youtube audio through the head phones too, i can play all other audio through the docking station speakers with out a problem.

There are no setting to change on the iPod.
Have you updated either the firmware on the car or on the iPod since they last played in the car?
This may work:
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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

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.

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

Does anyone have a favorite docking station - it appears that 3 or 4 work. they look the same to me....

Thanks!

Bump - can anyone offer any advice?

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.

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.

Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ?

I am very interested in this product. But not sure if Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ? Has anyone out there with a ipod video also has this. Does it dock well with say iPod Video 30G ?

as long as it has the same connecter it should be fine.
if you get one make sure the ipod fits in the cradle well.
if it wiggles too much or seems to be leaning further back than it should either put something around it to keep it standing up or return it and get a different kind.

IPhone and iPod with video docking station.

I just got an iPhone and was happy to see that it fit in my iPod with video docking station. But when I plug it in I get a message that says that this docking station was not meant to be used with the iPhone, and then it just syncs up and works fine with iTunes anyway.
So what's with the warning? Can the phone be damaged by the docking station? Should I be worried? And if there is nothing to worry about, why splash the warning?
Thanks, I look forward to your insight.

There are very few if any docks that are compatible with all functions of all ipods as well as the iphone 3G. Even Apple can scarcely manufacture one (although with a series of adaptors and optional cables they sell a "universal dock"). One of the biggest issues is the charging, as the 3G only charges via the 5 volt USB standard. I don't think there is a risk of damage, but an incoming call could generate some noise artifacts in your sound system. Have you been able to output video from your phone with that dock, and does it charge? BTW which dock are you using?
