X201 + X200 UltraBase + DisplayPort = 30" support

Does the X201 + X200 UltraBase + DisplayPort combo make it possible for me to drive a 30" monitor at 2560x1600? I've only seen specs that say maximum 1920x1200 or 2048xsomething.
Thanks.

yes if you use the DP as it is, or an active DP to DVI converter (like the Dell's one). Passive DP to DVI converter can only support up to WUXGA resolution, which is generally found in 24 inch LCD.
The WQXGA resolution in the 30 inch LCD, needs either the DP or the Dual Link DVI.

X200 ultrabase displayport to HDMI

Hello all, I have found numerous entries about this topic, but no definitive answer to my question so I thought I would ask you all.
I have an old x200t (purchased 2008-2009) and to make a long story short the Windows OS license doesn’t work anymore. Consequently for the past 3 years or so the computer became a paperweight. Looking to harvest some functionality out of it I thought about installing ubuntu (or chrome OS... I guess) on the machine and hooking it up to an x200 ultrabase (that I would buy in the future) to display the laptop on an HDTV for the kids (would buy a wireless mouse and keyboard as well). Before I go through all the trouble I had a couple of questions....
1) Does the displayport on an ultrabase work with a laptop running ubuntu or chrome OS? (I am pretty confident that it works with ubuntu, but don't know about chrome. I am considering chrome because kids would primarily be using it and chrome seems like a better fit for them)
2) It seems like for some transmitting audio over a displayport to an hdmi port was an issue, but for others this was not an issue. I am curious if the hardware caused the problem or if this problem was fixed with updated drivers. If it was fixed with a driver, would the driver work on an ubuntu or chrome OS? If it was a hardware issue, is there another solution to the problem besides plugging an aux cord from the computer to the tv. I briefly looked and I didn't see an adapter that would convert a displayport and an aux input to an HDMI output. Many thanks.

Try this:
Applications>Utilities> Audio MIDI setup > Right click your TV/HDMI output > Select as output device *****If this option is not available*********> Click the Gear icon at the bottom left > Choose Create Multi-Output Device > Make the HDMI your Output source > After creation it will show on your list of outputs--Right click your multi-output device and choose as the output.
Voila your TV is now pushing sound....

X200s + Ultrabase (DisplayPort) to connect to Apples' LED Cinema Display (mini DisplayPort)?

I'm considering purchasing Apple's LED Cinema Display which has only one connection, mini DisplayPort. I have an X200s and the Ultrabase with the DisplayPort.
Has anyone got this combination working?
Getting a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort connection isn't easy from what I can tell but I've spoken to Circuit Assembly and they have a product that will provide the necessary connection (http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-Female-to-Displayport-Male-Adapter-Cable...) but can't be sure it will work as they don't have Apple's display on hand.
Any information on whether anyone has had this or a similar setup working would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Ultrabase for x201 / x200 audio out noise - lenovo dont want to fix - please check yours

Hi,
I own x201 with ultrabase for a year. From the beginning I tried get Lenovo to fix audio output on ultrabase. When connected on AC the sound from audio out is full of noise (even when music is muted), what makes it unusable. When the AC is unplugged, the noise is smaller, but still there. So I need to use audio out from the x201 even when docked.
As I had many other problems with x201 I have been in service 3times already. Anyway, regarding this issue they final verdict is that ultrabase is not a HI-FI and it works as planned. Maybe is not a issue if you plug just small PC speakers, but anything else (including headphones) its useless.
Whats the point of audio out in docking station which is useless?
Can somebody from Lenovo confirm that its normal that ultrabase audio output is noisy ?
Can other owners check if they ultrabase output is noisy with some headphones/hi-fi ?
Thanks in advance
Tomas

do you use a grounded power plug? audio noise usually means that the ultrabase has a bad connection to the laptop's dock connector. Or that the ultrabase audio connector/lines are receiving electrical noises from other surrounding devices.
With my Ultrabase X200 the noise will go away when all the usb ports on the ultrabase is unplugged.

X200 Ultrabase - charging second battery.

I checked the specifications for X200 Ultrabase and it says there that it has an option to charge second battery. Can you charge the battery while the laptop is not in Ultrabase? My X3 Ultrabase couldn't do that... Also, can it charge batteries of all sizes (3, 6 and 9-cell)?
Thanks in advance for replies.

OK after some severe searching, I found it. There IS a second battery charging feature on the X200 UltraBase!
Thank goodness for Lenovo Service and Support Training!
There's no information about this neat new second battery charging feature in the Lenovo online store. No information on the Lenovo Service and Support website either! It's not even mentioned in the X200 Ultrabase User Guide!
But the training guys nailed it.
Go to http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/ and navigate to Notebooks > ThinkPad > X200 > Videos. A video popup window will open. Go to the X200 UltraBase videos and watch them. You'll see the second battery charging port in action!
The X200 UltraBase Locations video shows the second battery charging connector.
The X200 Insertion and Removal videos shows a second battery being connected and disconnected.
So my earlier post was WRONG. I should have been harshing on Lenovo for hiding a great new feature!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Is X200 UltraBase compatible with ThinkPad X230?

Hi All:
Currently I have a ThinkPad X201 with an X200 Ultrabase but I'm thinking to replace the X201 with an X230 notebook, so can I use my current docking station (X200) with an X230 notebook?.
Thank you very much

X200 Ultrabase DVD RW

Hi,
Can someone confirm if part No 3924848 will fit in X200 ultrabase DVD slot.
I understand that Ultrabase slim is 9.5 DVD not regular 12 laptop DVD slot.
3924848 is a 9.5" DVD but wanted to confirm about back connectors.
Also are there any after market DVD RW which can fit in X200 ultrabase.
Thanks
Deepak

you need a SATA interface Ultrabay slim drive not the PATA interface ultrabay slim drive used in X6 ultrabase, T4x/6x or Z6x..

X200 ultrabase

Hi - does the X200 ultrabase includes an optical drive or does it has to be purchased separately ?
thanks

The Ultrabase does not include an optical drive, it needs to be purchased sepataely. It also doesn't include an AC Adapter which you may want to consider purchasing as an extra so as you can leave it permanently attached and use the original for travel.
Hope this helps

New revision of the X200 ultrabase?

Any chance anyone knows if there will be a new X200 Ultrabase in the near future? I need one pretty much exclusively to do dual monitor output.
I am debating getting one, but would like to know if I should wait. Thanks.

In my opinion, based on what IBM and Lenovo have done with docking stations and media slices (aka Ultrabases) in the past, it's fairly unlikely that there will be any change in X200 Ultrabase in the near future.

Which DVD for X200 Ultrabase

Can anyone please tell me which DVD drives will work for the X200 ultrabase? I want to be able to read both CD and DVD media and RW to either the CD or DVD. I can't figure out which one is compatible with the X200 ultrabase and I need it ASAP.
Thanks,
Knit

The X200 Ultrabase looks like a new item. I screwed up and didn't order one w my X200, and now the price is higher. Hoping for that rumored 25% off on accessories coupon...
Note the HD adaptor is just that, an adaptor, not an HDD - and its designed to fit in an Ultrabay. (sorry for the long link)

I plan to see if a 2.5" SATA drive can be fitted w/o this $50 piece of plastic.
Likewise, I suspect that selected aftermarket Slim SATA DVD/RW drives may work if one is careful of specs. For example, I see a Lite On unit for $50 at New Egg.

UltraBay CD/DVD Combo Drive Compatibility with X200 UltraBase

I have a T500 with a CD-RW / DVD-ROM drive (part #44C1930). Wondering if this drive is compatible with the X200 Ultrabase or I need to get a whole new drive altogether?
Help would be appreciated.

if it is from the T400, T500 or W500 then it is compatible with the X200 ultrabase.

X201 w/ Ultrabase resolution issue

I am having docking issues with my X201 i7 running Windows 7 64bit where the screen rapidly flips between the laptops 1280x800 and my monitor's 1920x1200 resolution. Here are the steps to cause it and fix it. I am looking for a long term fix so I don't need to do the work around each time and any help would be appretiated.
1. Suspend laptop while undocked
2. Dock laptop into ultrabase
3. Turn on laptop with screen closed using dock power button
4. See screen rapidy toggle between 1280x800 and 1920x1200 resolutions
--Work around --
5. Open laptop
6. Windows-P and select mirror displays
7. Close laptop
8. External monitor show correct resolution of 1920x1200.
It seems like two process are fighting to control the resolution. I've uninstalled the latest version of the drivers from the Lenovo site and install slightly older ones from Windows Update. That didn't work so I uninstalled those and re-installed the latest from Lenovo again.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Dan E.

I have same/similar issue, but I have been going through the hassle of shutting down windows and then turning it back on to work around it.
Specifically:
I have a x200 base with dual 19'' monitors at home office (1440x900). One on DP to DVI adaptor, and one on VGA.
The problem occurs when put it into sleep and then dock it onto my x200 base at work, where I have dual 1920x1200, 24'' monitors. One DP to DVI, and one VGA. The monitor set as primary (i think its the DVI monitor, but i'm not sure), will only recognize at a maximum of 1440x900. But the VGA seems to recognize at 1920x1200 just fine. So I would just restart the computer and it would recognize properly.
I'll have to try Dendhoff or dgsmith1's workarounds today.
Anyone find any better solution?

X200s Ultrabase and USB ports

Hello,
I'm using an ultrabase with a X200s. It worked perfectly but since this morning USB ports are not working anymore.
My X200s is still connected on my ultrabase and I have (connected on the ultrabase) a second screen and my network. Both are still working. But, my mouse and my printer are no more working.
If I connect my mouse directly on the PC it works again (without removing my PC from the ultrabase).
What can I do to get my USB ports working again ?
PS: I tried several times to reboot my PC with no success.
Sebastien

Hi, I have an Ultrabase with a X201 that has exactly the same issue (no one of the USB ports is working): does someone have an idea how to solve it? BIOS on Laptop is upgraded to the latest available version with default values loaded. Light on the left is indicating "red docked" state (in fact ethernet/headphone are working fine)
Thanks

Mini DisplayPort to support both audio and video coming soon?

So I notice that Apple updated the MacBook Pro Mini DisplayPort implementation to support BOTH audio AND video.
Think this will make it’s way to the Mac mini soon, or an update still a long way off?

Probably in the next refresh, but the mini was refreshed twice last year, so another refresh in less than a year would probably be too much for which to hope!
There is always this US$49 wonder;

X200 Ultrabase problems with Standby and Hibernate

My system (x200) hangs on standy or hibernate when docked. Off the dock everything works fine. I am running XP with all the updated drivers (at least the update utility says so). Anybody else have this problem or know the solution?
To put it another way: Is the Ultrabase ACPI compliant? Does anybody hibernate succesfully while docked?
Message Edited by lomonosov on 07-20-2009 03:50 PM

After updating Vista Business, Bios and Driver which took several hours, Lenovo changed the Ultrabase within one day.The probleme with sleepmode, hibernation and shutdown has gone until I plugged the DVD drive into the Ultrabase!
Could you confirm that the X200 could go into hibernate- or sleepmode with or without DVD drive?I now will open a new ticket at Lenovo for change the DVD drive.
