+=== ThinkPad Advanced Mini-Dock, Type 2504 (250410U) ===
-The ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock (Model # 250410U) contains basic pass-through connections for notebook ports, including power pass-through. It comes without integrated power supply but provides the same power jack as found in a ThinkPad, an AC-Adapter is included. Besides all the pass-through ports the ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock comes with an On/Off switch, Key lock and a slot for a cable lock.

-* Power button
+#Any model that is powered-on and attached to this docking station will shut down immediately, due to a stray electrostatic discharge that is caused by insufficient insulation. The solution to this problem, is to either turn off the laptop and dock it, or attach two rubber caps (FRU: 42W3219/42W3220) on two of the furthest 'EMI fingers' located on the docking station. More information regarding this problem can be found [https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/migr-67382 here].
-* AC-Adapter (90 Watt)
+#This port will not work on models with a GMA 900, as it does not support any form of DVI output.
+#This port will be inactive on models equipped with the Switchable Graphics feature, unless the Radeon HD 3470/3650 is enabled and is in use. This is due to the DVI connection being wired to only accept output from the dedicated GPU.
-==Lenovo part numbers==
+#If the docking station loses AC power (from the AC adapter), these ports will cause the attached laptop to soft-lock. You can prevent this from occurring by disabling the serial and parallel port in the BIOS (Config > Docking Station > Legacy Devices on Mini-Dock > Disabled). There is no official fix, even Lenovo themselves state that this is the only way.

-== Fix for no audio on Headphone-out ==
+|}
+=== Overview ===
-If the Headphone-out jack on the docking station does not work you may need to enable it in {{path|/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf}}:
+This docking station is capable of accepting an 'extender' (FRU: 42W3365/42X4884) that seems to be meant for supported 14.1-inch widescreen models. The purpose of this extender is to function as a wrist-rest/palm-rest, as the 14.1-inch widescreen models do not have sufficient coverage to act as a wrist-rest/palm-rest.
