Revision as of 16:17, 25 April 2007

We do have 8 Advanced Mini Dock in our company, but none of my collegues can manage to dock in properly. To do so you have to press very hard in the middle of the edge on your notebook, I cannot imagine that the display will survive this for a longer time. You control to have connected properly by lifting your notebook - if connected properly, it will not disconnect. In all cases, ours do disconnect, even when locked with the key. Our unsatisfying solution: We place a mouse-pad under each Mini-Dock - now connecting is no problem any more.

Lenovo is unable to reproduce this problem with their own hardware - the support asked me to send one notebook and one Mini-Dock to them to schottland so that they can investigate in that case. That means one collegue will have to survive without his comuter for I don't know how many weeks. Lenovo cannot send somebody to confirm the problem inside our house. This kind of Support is very poor! And, of course, I am wondering: I am the one who bought exactly this 8 notebooks together with this 8 Mini-Docks, which don't want to fit together.

Are all the others connecting without problems ?

Please tell me your experiences.


Mini-dock power problem

I have a T60p, and if I place the machine onto the Advanced Mini Dock when it is asleep, it turns off. The only way I can prevent this from happening is to wake the machine up before I put it on the dock. Does anyone else have this problem? --Sridhar 14:38, 2 January 2007 (CET)
