USB 3 on Thinkpad docking station

I have a WD My Passport USB3 disk disk that runs fine directly on my T530 USB3 port. But if I connect it to my docking stations USB3 port it connects and disconnects all the time. is the a fix for this?

It could be a faulty docking station (or a problem with the design of the device). Is the problem consistent with all usb 3 ports? Have you tried other usb3 peripherals?
I think you should contact the nearest Lenovo service representative if you're still under warranty, or try another docking station with your T530 and your WD, maybe at a Lenovo dealer.

  • I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).

    I need help.  I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station). 
    Best Buy (only local option) has only a VGA / USB from iogear that scroll lock doesn't work on the Mac and low and behold I'm a d.a. and didn't notice VGA, ie:  want/need DVI. 
    I don't game on my Mac or do high-end video editing but don't want to step down the video quality too much.
    Appreciate all of the forthcoming advice.

    I guess I should have clarified and said "can you please share what you've used and been successful with"
    Two that I have been considering are:
    ConnectPRO
    http://www.connectpro.com/prod_kvm_usb12plusDvi.html
    IOGear
    http://www.iogear.com/solutions/kvm/?view=displayDVI
    If you do the Belkin KVM wizard, as soon as you reference a Mac, they only support VGA and I am not sure why.  http://www.belkin.com/kvm/
    Thanks for the effort.

  • Imac 2013 can't read USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station... HELP!

    Hi,
    I just purchased a 27" 2013 iMac. I am using a Plugable USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station to access my internal WD 640gb hard drive. On my MBP it reads just fine but when I plug it into my mac, I get nothing. It doesn't even show up in the Disk Utilities. It's formated to Mac Journaled Extended.
    If you can help, I would appreciate it.

    I have been using a 10 port Satechi.  Supports USB 3.0 and is connected to late 2013 iMac. Satechi has several USB 3.0 models.

  • USB ports on 8440p docking station hang.

    I have a brand new 8440p in a new docking station. After a few minutes all the USB ports on the docking station go dead. After some power resets the ports come back to life but after a few more minutes the ports hang again. The USB ports on the laptop itself still work. The laptop is running Windows 7. I have replaced the docking station already. Any ideas?

    It could be a faulty docking station (or a problem with the design of the device). Is the problem consistent with all usb 3 ports? Have you tried other usb3 peripherals?

  • IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

    This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
    My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

    Hello spinney98,

  • Problem with USB port on X6 docking station and X60 laptop

    Hello all,
       One of my users is having a problem that when she undocks the X60 laptop from the X6 docking station and then re-docks it later, the devices connected to the USB ports on the X6 docking station are no longer recognized.  Even after repeated re-boots I can't get the USB ports to work.  The USB ports on the laptop still work, but not on the docking station.  Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
    T

    BIOS 2.19 is for X61 series not X60(s).
    Here're my solutions.
    Solution 1. Unplug all USB devices from docking station. Reset BIOS to defaults, save settings, reboot, plug all devices back. All of them should work now.
    Solution 2. Power off your system. Un-dock your laptop. Unplug all USB devices from docking. Re-dock your laptop back again. Power on your system. Plug all devices back again after system booting. All of devices should work now.
    I tested both on my X60s working even if it seems rediculous.
    Lenovo promised to send me a new docking; however, I don't think it will help unless new BIOS is released to solve this issue.
    Note: the kep point is you have to wait to plug all devices back to docking after system boots.
    Good luck.

  • X 31 Thinkpad Docking Station

    I have just acquired a docking station for my Thinkpad x31 which has an empty battery compartment.  The part number for the docking ststion is 91P9024.  Does anyone know what battery i need for this docking station?

    the same battery you use on the actual X31, however do note that the battery compartment on the ultrabase or dock as you call it, doesn't have the ability to charge the battery.

  • ThinkPad docking station speakers / PL connectivity

    Hi,
    I have T61 and docking station model 2505. I couldn't find PL connector for speakers: How can I connect speakers to the docking station and not (!) to my laptop? I would like to avoid the neccesary of connect / disconnect the speakers every time I undock / dock to the docking station.
    Uriel

    Hi,
    Is there any way to connect speakers to the Docking Station directly, and not via the laptop?
    Sounds funny that I would need to connect / reconnect the PL plug every time I remove the laptop from the docking Station.
    Thanks,
    Uriel

  • What do the buttons on the Thinkpad docking station do?

    So, I just got a docking station for my T-60 and noticed the cute buttons. Power, got that one. #2 to undock, two for two! But button #1? It would be nice if I could find a simple document somewhere. But nooooooo. Help?

    Keyboard illumination.  You probably won't notice the change, unless the ambient lighting is low.

  • Docking Station USB issues

    None of the USB ports on the docking station seem to work but I know that the usb (for mouse) does work when i plug it in directly to the laptop even if the laptop is docked.
    I have a W500. I have a docking station at work and another one at home and both have the same issue.
    Any ideas?

    have you tried to update your bios ?
    have you tried to uninstall the sp3 ?
    have you tried to test under safe mode ?

  • Blue screen from USB adapter on Docking Station

    My T430s will invariably BS within 5 secs ~ 5 mins of plugging in a certain wifi network USB adapter into the docking station, whereas plugged directly into the T430s, it's fine.
    It's a trusty Rosewill RNX-G1W that I carried over from a T61p, and is compatible with Linux on VMWare.  I've used it on XP, Vista, and now Win 7 64-bit.  I have the latest driver, specific to Win 7; although the default one Win 7 self-installs when it recognizes new USB hardware works just fine, except with docking station.
    Any idea why it crashes when in the docking station but not in laptop ports?  Even when laptop is attached to station?  I've tried both the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports thinking it was power related, but that changes nothing.
    Particulars:  Win 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM, 14" screen w/ NVIDIA Optimus chip.  Event log only show loss of Kernel-power causing crash.

    Hi, No. The product says: Expand what you can do with a suite of accessories designed specifically for the HP ElitePad and turn a true business tablet into a total business solution.Simply connect one end of the adapter to the HP ElitePad, and connect to your USB device on the other end.

  • Docking station display doesn't activate after upgrading display driver

    I have a ThinkPad T400. I just reinstalled Windows 7 (64-bit) using a clean image. The automatic display driver that Windows found was for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series from 2010. When I put the laptop onto the ThinkPad docking station, the monitor, connected by VGA, was detected just fine and the screen came up in the correct resolution. However, I was having problems with slow cursors in various programs (e.g., Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Office) and hangs in Office that seemed related to the display driver. So I downloaded the Switchable Graphics Driver and installed it (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t40... That solved the other problems, but now when I put my laptop onto the docking station or wake it from sleep while it's docked, the monitor never turns on -- the picture stays on the (closed) laptop screen. The only way I've found to get the monitor to turn on is to open the laptop and use Windows-P to turn it to "projector only" (while still docked) and then it finds the monitor (and gives me an error message saying that no projector was detected). Sometimes when this happens it tries to keep the laptop screen resolution, which is unfortunately not the same as my monitor. When I revert to the old driver, the docking station works just fine but other programs hang or are slow.
    Please help! I really need my docking station to work, but I would also like to use hardware accelerated graphics rendering, which the other programs appear to want. (Or I need a way to turn it off so that it doesn't try to do that and I'll see if non-accelerated graphics work.)

  • Lenovo Helix Docking Station

    Do any of you guys have issues with the docking station?  Whenever I disconnect the top of the unit and place the unit back on, the USB connection to the docking station goes back and forth saying that it doesn't recognize the device and that it has malfunctioned.  With that going on, the second monitor goes off and on along with my internet connection

    My information is that the X1 is going to be officially announced / launched on the 19th of this month, (at least hear in Germany), so I guess you're a little early.
    That said; as the current docks are all "series 3" I would bet that the X1, (if at all dockable), is compatible with those rather than older versions. Sorry, but I have to say the X1 will not be compatible with your current dock.
    Hope you can follow my logic.
