X301 USB Port Replicator

How do I disconnect from the port replicator? Can I just "pull the plug" or do I have to shut down first? In my previous Thinkpads there was a button to click to prepare the machine to disconnect.

The USB Port Rep software installer puts an icon in your system tray.  If you right-click this icon, you have many options for setting external monitor resolution, etc. 
Here you will also find the option to stop USB video...this will end output to the external monitor and default all video back to the notebook LCD.

    I want to install the USB Port Replicator software http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS012816 via our SCCM environment.

  • Dual display with Lenovo USB Port Replicator 43R8770

    Hi,
    I have installed the Lenovo USB port replicator using the 1.0.0.1 drivers.  I am running Windows XP on a Thinkpad X300.
    I can successfully get into dual display mode but when I try to make the external monitor my primary display it will not work.  It just switches my primary monitor back the notebook LCD without displaying any errors. 
    If I disable the notebook display I can set the external as the primary but as long as the notebook is enable the external cannot be set as the primary.
    Has anyone ever seen this before?

    I know it's an old discussion, but I wanted to pos​t instructions on getting the dual-monitor setup w​orking, as it took me a while to get it right.  Th​is is using a Lenovo x301 with Windows XP SP3, 
    Lenovo Enhanced USB Port Replicator and 2 Dell 19"​ 1280x1024 analog flat panel monitors (I know..I k​now...)  My

    sure you've installed the Port Replicator drivers. 
    Connect left monitor (primary display) to x301 VGA​ port.
    Connect right monitor (extended display) to Port R​eplicator VGA port.

  • Enhanced USB Port Replicator under Vista with blank taskbar

    I have an annoying bug where the vista taskbar goes blank under Vista.  I'm running an X300 with the Enhanced USB Port Replicator attached to an external monitor.  I have set the external monitor as the primary monitor.  With this configuration, the taskbar usually goes blank -- i.e. the taskbar shows nothing except a window frame and the start button.  There are no applications shown, no quicklaunch icons, no tooltray icons... nothing.  The taskbar is still functioning correctly, and it will show thumbnails of open applications, or allow you to click on any items that are there but not displayed.  Any idea why this bug is there or how to fix it.
    I found it really annoying and problematic till I found an quick workaround... unlock the taskbar and stretch it out and it will begin displaying properly again.

    I have an X301 running Vista Business.  The 2 second freezes are really annoying.
    Has anyone tried the displaylink driver http://www.displaylink.com/downloads.html to see if it helps?

  • X1 and USB Port Replicator with digital video - hangs system

    Hi
    with the X1 to help with docking it everyday at the office I have a USB Port replicator with digital video. I am not using the digital video but the USB ports, head phone and mics plus ethernet.
    When I plug it in it detects it OK, I then installed the software. But after reboot it looks to stall when logging into windows, screen flickers back and forth and locks up the operating system. I unlplug it and reboot and window is working fine.
    Note as I mentioned I am not using the digital output but instead using an external monitor via the display port on the back of the laptop.
    Also its is very slow to boot (Lenovo bios splash screen is there for about a minute)
    I have gone into the bios and turned off all other bootable devices just leaving the laptops hard drive.
    As a work around I have removed the software and I am getting the basic functionality of the port replicator, but not the ethernet.
    I have run the update manager but does not appear to show a need to update the drivers.

    Hi, I have this same exact problem.
    Video (anything from youtube to downloaded shows, movies) will freeze for 5-7 seconds at a time. The sound continues to play while the video is 'frozen', and the video resumes after that.
    It will happen on its own, with no bumping, but it is more prone to happen if I do something like increase the volume within the media player.
    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

  • USB Port Replicator 2nd monitor doesn't work on restart with Vista

    Greetings wise wizards of Lenovo:
    I'm helping a friend with the USB Port Replicator, who is running Windows Vista Home Premium on her Acer laptop. She has all of the necessary hardware requirements, and I've installed the Lenovo USB Port Replicator drivers with once with Vista (automatically installing the drivers), once with the CD, and finally from the Lenovo website. The problem is that the port replicator works fine upon installation, but as soon as Vista is restarted, not only does a second monitor not appear automatically, it doesn't appear at all.
    Connecting the second monitor to the laptop VGA port works fine, and I can extend the desktop across both the laptop and the second monitor... it is only a problem on restart with the port replicator. I've uninstalled and resintalled three times now, once with letting Vista provide the drivers automatically, once with the CD, and once with the website download.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Zovoth

    Mines not working on XP. Works fine until I re-boot then I have a hard time getting it to work. I've tried unplugging the ac adapter, usb, tried switching my monitors and still nothing. Both monitors are functioning properly. The icon for the repilicator does not show up down the clock. It's in my program files with the only option to uninstall.
    Comon Lenovo, there hasn't been an answer to this question since 2008???

  • Enhanced USB port replicator 43R8811 and dual monitor

    I have problem with USB port replicator. I cannot put a right resolution to monitor (wide screen monitor). Replicator's settings say that I can use up to 1280x1024 resolution but monitor support i.e. 1400x1050 resolution which port replicator should support by user manual.
    If I put monitor direct to my X300 laptop I can use monitor's right resolution (1680x1050).
    Is it drivers problem or what that I cannot put a right settings?
    -Paul-

    I'm having trouble understanding your phrasing.
    The Enhanced USB Port Replicator I recently purchased supports 1440x900 and can be configured to do so.  I did have to install the drivers by downloading from the web (they were provided on a CD -- convenient since my laptop came with no CD/DVD drive :-).  Once the drivers  were installed, it happily suports 1440x900.  Did you already install the software?  Older versions of the port replicator don't support above 1280x1024, but that should not be the case with the Enhanced one.
    So you should be able to set any resolution up to 1440x900.
    Of course "1400x1050" would be a higher resolution than 1440x900, and thus not supported right?

  • Is the Enhanced USB Port Replicator Really Hot-Pluggable?

    Folks,
    I have the T61 and am just getting to know the very nice Enhanced USB Port Replicator.  We have a wireless KB/mouse, video and external hard drive, as well as the ethernet cable, all plugged in.
    SITUATION "HOT PLUGGABLE":  The somewhat sparse documentation (that's probably a good thing, if it works as advertised) says that the whole thing is "hot pluggable", and specifically mentions hard drives.  The implication is you don't have to turn your laptop off to disconnect.  WOW, a huge time saver (and a distinction with the Dell laptop I have at work, with a docking station that corrupts the files if you don't shut everything down before disconnecting).
    BUT SEAGATE HAS WARNING:  Seagate documentation for the popular FreeAgent Pro line of stylish external hard drives says that you absolutely MUST execute the Vista "USB safe removal" gambit in order to prevent file corruption -- or even partition corruption on your external drive.  THEN THEY EVEN SUGGESTION UNPLUGGING THE DATA AND POWER CABLES.  This is now in the realm of fantasy as well as inconvenience.  Which leads me to think that the documentation was written by a lawyer and not a technical person.
    WHAT DO YOU THINK?  Is the new "Enhanced USB technology", which is written about on USB resource sites, capable of providing true, safe storage hot pluggability?
    FOOTNOTE:  I'd like to believe the thing is truly hot-pluggable.  I'm just wondering if there are any open files related to the whole real-time backup thing from the Seagate software, if this would cause a problem.  Is the USB smart enough to handle that?
    Thanks for any advice.

    download the keyboard customiser software, in which you can assign a certain key to function as the Fn key on the laptop keyboard. After unpacking go to your driver/swtool folder and then install it from there.

  • Firefox does not paint the window if Windows 7 Basic theme is selected and Fujitsu USB port replicator PR07 is used

    If I use "Windows 7 Basic" theme on my laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook A532), the Firefox window is not painted.
    I see only the border of the window, the content not. As soon as I switch back to the "Windows 7" theme,
    it works again.
    It could be related to the graphics driver (from Intel) of my new laptop.
    Before I had a desktop computer, and did not have this problem.
    Update: the problem occurs only if I use my port replicator (Fujitsu USB Port Replicator PR07).
    If I unplug the replicator, and use only the monitor of my laptop, everything is fine.

  • Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video - extended monitor shows only mouse icon

    Hi,
    I have been using my Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video for quite a long time with my previous employer laptop. I recently switched job and got a new laptop (Dell XPS 3, Win 8.1). While installing/paring this laptop with the port replicator, I had some issues e.g. extended monitor not getting identified etc. I updated the drivers and now I am able to identify the extended monitor. But the extended monitor shows only the mouse icon and nothing else. I have upto date Intel HD graphics drivers installed in the laptop. Intel's Graphics control panel doesn't show the extend option for the USB monitor, but able to still move the mouce icon to the extended monitor.
    Any help/pointers to fix this issue is highly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem on my W510. Everything but the screen Works. I cannot however do duplicate screens. That would help a Little bit, so I could use the big monitor instead of just the laptop.
    Please fix this Lenovo!

  • ThinkPad USB Port Replicator

    ThinkPad USB Port Replicator works with BeTWIN??

    We (displaylink) have not tested specifically with betwin so could not guarantee it works. However it seems to work with a 2nd graphics card and that is how a displaylink display will appear to the OS so I think it should work.
    I think it will depend on how betwin works. Might be better to ask betwin if they know of any issue.
