T60 w/ Docking Station DVI - HDMI 1080p problems.

Hi,
Im currently running vista 32bit on a T60 with a docking station trying to externally display to a 1920x1080 LCD via the DVI port on the back of the docking station to the HDMI port on the LCD (Samsung N series 40").
The problem im having is when i set the resolution to 1920x1080 the output on the LCD is not crisp and there is a 1" black border around the whole screen. If you lower the resolution right down to 1024x 7xx (cant remember exactly what it is) it fills the screen and is crisp., but everything is just mega big..
I have the latest video drivers off the lenovo support page.
I also have a T43 running vista and it displays 1920x1080 via the DVI port on the docking station fine.
Has anybody seen this before and have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks, Cam

Docking Station With HDMI Out

According to HP customer service, they do not have an HDMI Out supported docking station for their laptops. Does anyone have a working solution to this problem? Does HP have plans to bring one to market?

get a laptop with HDMI out integrated to the system board or just settle for DVI out

MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

Hello,
I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

You probably want to post this in the MacBook Pro forum:

There is a sub forum just for displays, video out, and video accessories.

13" Macbook + DVI-HDMI + HDTV Problem

Hello,
I recently bought myself a 13" macbook, which I'm now in love with!
so here's my question, I have a Mini Dvi to Dvi Adaptor hooked up to my macbook and a DVI to HDMI cable running to my HDTV (32") into the HDMI Input (on the tv.) When I goto plug it in ( either tv first or macbook first) My macbook screen turns to this hazy blue screen (looks just like the boot up screen) and Then my macbook freezes up. I've tried shutting down my macbook plugging everything in and then booting up, but still no luck it does the same thing. I just got my mac on sunday straight from apple.com .
any suggestion? I've heard this is a typical issue.
Thanks
Aj

no luck, I made sure the cables were super tight and plugged in properly. my tv says "no signal"
and my macbook freezes up with the blue screen.
This time I tried it two different ways, I shut down my mac book and made sure my tv was off. Turned on my tv switched it to HDMI IMPUT 1 and tightly plugged in my cables. then turned on my macbook.
After seeing the booting screen ( little apple picture and music) a light blue screen (that normally appears durning booting) appears and it freezes on that blue screen. then I tried leaving my mac book on and tv turned on to HDMI Input one and plugging it in, this time I'm able to see my desktop ( on my mac book, tv still says no signal) and I get this fogginess that appears over the screen. I can move my mouse but everything else will not respond.
any help or suggestion would be super!
Thanks guys (and or gals)

Third party docking station speaker creating battery problems

Has anyone heard of the altec lansing dock causing significant battery life depletion? I kept mine docked for over a month and now my charge will not hold if not used for a day or two(it will be dead) and when I do undock and use it...my battery life is under 2 hours...

We opened a Cisco TAC case for this issue. It was solved by creating the username with the user id the same as the directory number.
Directly from the mail from the TAC engineer:
Resolution summary:
Checked the config
Added digest user under phone
Created new user with user ID same as DN on line
Polycom was able to register after the change.
Tom changed digit map configuration on polycom for dialling issues.

T420 won't dock into docking station

Have a docking station Type 4337, but T420 won't snap into place. Same type of docking station at work, has no problem with T420 snapping in. Seems to be binding somewhere, but cannot get it to budge. Key is in place and in unlocked position. Not sure if this is defective or if I am unaware of something. Seems simple enough to use. It appears to be stuck in the 'undock' position. Something under the 'spring loaded' docking pad, appears to be preventing it from moving down to the 'docking' position. I think this thing is defective.

I compared the two docking stations and identified the problem. There are two plastic hooks built into the base, one to the right of the connector, one to the left and below. In a correctly functioning station these hooks are pushed aside as the computer is inserted, then spring back, holding it in place.
On my malfunctioning station the hooks were stuck, preventing the computer from being inserted.
I was able to correct the problem by nudging the hooks with my finger, which unstuck them. If they stick again I can try some graphite lubricant.

Bose portable docking station

I just bought the Bose portable docking station and found one problem. When I use my iphone 3g, I noticed a popping sound, as if the speakers are blown. I'm about to bring it back for a new one when last night i was using my video ipod and did not hear that sound. Has anyone heard of any issues with the iphone 3g and interference, from the phone or from AOL radio app. I understand it is in airplane mode when i'm docked, so i'm not sure how there could be interference.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem, and called Bose, they say it is something to do with the charging frequency which they did not know about, and are going to collect the Sound Dock from me, make an adjustment and deliver it back.
You just need proof of purchase or the Sound Dock serial number if it has been registered. I'm in the UK apparently it is different in the US.
Hope it helps.

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.
Thanks

W540 + Dock station (40A20170EU), Audio and HDMI problems - SOLVED

Hello,
I have recently bought your dock station (40A20170EU) and as soon as I started using it the problems began:
- Audio jack on the dock is not working and is emitting static.
- As soon as I connect a display via HDMI port (on the dock station) my laptop display starts flickering (the display was tested on the PC and works).
I have updated the dock firmware to 2.21.000, nothing changed.
PS. The second monitor running from the docking stations display port is working fine.
I need your help!
Thank you!

SOLVED.
1) Removed all display drivers.
2) In BIOS I changed the display setting from standard to advanced.
3) Reinstalled all the display drivers.
4) Reconnect the HDMI monitor and now it’s working.
5) WINNING J
Thanks anyway.

No problem. It is an older monitor. But being a small business, we can't afford to discard a working monitor that costs $1500 to replace.
The annoying part is that we tried to do a lot of research prior to purchase to find out exactly what resolutions the Lenovo docking solutions supported. We asked our rep to check because of the total lack of Lenovo documenation on this. We would not have wasted all this time trying to get it to work if we had known.
Even now, no one from Lenovo has come right out and stated that their docking stations don't support Dual Link. I think that they actually have no idea.
We've been bounced around and around between the same Lenovo sales, support and customer service numbers so many times in the past three days that they are now just dropping our calls in the hope that we will go away. No one at Lenovo has offered a solution of any kind.
FYI, we've even been told that because we ordered the W540 through CDW that there is 'nothing Lenovo can do.'

T60 Docking Station

hello
one reason I bought the docking station for my T60 is to keep my desk clean and free of cables. the webcam (Phillips SPC 900 SC) appears to not get enough power from the dock to operate. the solution i have found is to connect direct to one of the T60 USB, but this defeats the purpose... Same thing with a USB hub I have connected. is this a common problem? i would have expected that the docking station would power itself thru the power cord and be able to handle the demand.. thanks

i find that hard to believe its not supported. Webcams are pretty popular accessories (one might even go as far to say standard) Try switching around the ports and see what happens. If all else fails, a call to Lenovo Technical support asking whether it should work or not might help.

Problem with my new Docking Station

So it is very weird. I got my Docking Station Yesterday, I have spent like 12 hours talk to different support, which is nice but not actually helping. I download all downloadable updates, tried to install different drives, but it is just not working.
Problem is, first I think my docking station is broken, now I know the DIV port is working just fine, My USB 3.0 and 2.0 only work fine with my WD Portable Hard drives. I am sure about the USB port is not broken. But I can not connect to Ethernet with my
Ethernet cable and also I can not connect my head phone to the Dock... I have tried on another Surface Pro 3 from my friend and it seems work just fine(USB can also connect other devices). I have no idea what is wrong with my surface, seems it is a software
problem but not a hardware problem. Or maybe is it something about the damaged charging port on my Surface Pro?
Guys, what should I do!

I download all downloadable updates, tried to install different drives, but it is just not working.
What is "Drives" do you mean "Drivers"? Please be clear.
I know the DIV port is working just fine
What is a DIV port? Do you mean DVI? The surface Pro 3 does not have a DVI port.
My USB 3.0 and 2.0 only work fine with my WD Portable Hard drives.
Your USB ports on the device, or on the Dock? If your USB ports work on the dock, then what is the problem?
THis post is very odd. At no point to you list what kind of Dock you are actually using, I assume that you have a Surface Pro 3 with the Surface Pro 3 dock, but again, I'm not sure.
First thing to do is to check the Device Connection, and verify that the machine can view each device.
Plug the machine into the dock, and plug your WD Hard disk into the dock.
Open the Device Manager (Devmgmt.msc), and set to "View --> Devices by connection"
Find your WD Hard Disk in the tree, somewhere under ACPI --> PCI --> USB 3.0 Host Controller --> Etc...
then you should be able to un-dock and re-dock, each time you should see the addition/removal of the USB devices, network adapter. IN addition, you should also see the battery icon in the tool bar change to charging, and the video should go in and out on
your display.
If you are not getting any changes, take your dock back and try to get it repaired.
IF you *are* getting these changes, it might be time to review your software/driver problems. If all else fails restore the OS back to factory defaults. If you need further help, call Microsoft Support.
As a side note, "Microsoft Deployment Toolkit" this is not the correct forum for Surface HARdware or Driver problems. It's a forum for people who work in Corporate IT Departments.
