Dell Latitude E7240 :: AC Adapter Does Not Work With E-Port Docking Station

May 25, 2014

We are running more than200 dell computers in our company. lately we purchased E7240 for some users but it looks like the AC adapter does not work with the Dell E-Port docking station we have and that cause the USB hubs not to function at all.

Currently the workaround is to plug the AC adapter to the laptop instead of the docking station.

Our BIOS is updated to the latest version. also a message comes up when the ac adapter connected to the docking station before the windows boot up saying the ac adapter won't charge.....

Dell Latitude E7240 :: E Port II Docking Station USB Ports Not Working

Dec 25, 2013

The USB ports on my new E Port II docking are not working with my new Latitude E7240 Laptop. Full configuration of the laptop is below. Talked with Dell and they sent me a replacement docking station but the same issue surfaced. Looked at the Device Manager and no extra USB ports show up when connected to the docking station. The side laptop USB works fine when the docking station is connected.

Dell Latitude E7240 :: Not Working With PR03X Docking Station

Oct 8, 2014

My Latitude e7240 when docked onto the PR03X docking station, the power adapter that is plugged into the PR03X completely goes dead.  The only way I can reset the power is by unplugging and replugging the AC adapter FROM THE WALL.  Tried the spacer.   Tried double powering (1 adapter into the PR03X and another adapter into the e7240).  Also tried plugging the laptop on first without power, and when powering up the laptop, it would boot up 10x slower than normal and sometimes hang.  Also tried multiple other PR03X just to be sure the one i have is not faulty.  The same problem is repeatable.  The laptop has the latest BIOS.

It seems there is a power mismatch of some sort that would cause a) the adapter to fail, and then b) for the laptop to run extremely slow because of what?Is the problem caused by a faulty docking port on the e7240? I assume the PR03X is compatible to the e7240??

Dell Latitude E6420 :: E-port Docking Station / CPU Usage Will Shoot Up To 100%

Dec 16, 2014

when I dock my in my E-port docking station, my CPU usage will shoot up to 100%, and it may come down periodically to the 80s or 90s, which makes my laptop virtually unusable for anything. I tried a different power cord but it made no difference. Undocked, it works just fine, so it's obvious it's something wrong with the docking station.

Dell :: Latitude E6430 / USB Ports Don't All Work And Docking Station USB Ports Do Not Work

Mar 1, 2014

I have a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop running windows 7 64-bit.  When I try to use it with a docking station, the USB ports on the docking station do not work.  When I try to use a USB mouse with it, it only works with one of the USB ports.  When I try using my printer (HP laserjet 1320) through the USB ports, it doesn't work (it did previously with a Dell latitude E6430 running windows 7 64-bit).

I've installed the latest BIOS upgrade, updated the USB and intel chipset drivers.  How do I get these working?

Dell Precision M6800 :: None Of The USB Ports On Docking Station Work

Oct 31, 2014

I just got my new M6800 laptop- put it in the docking station and everything seems to work except for the USB's on the docking station.

I have had to plug my peripherals into my laptop.  This is by design for the docking station. Why do I have a docking station?   So that I can have an external keyboard and other peripherals permanently connected when I am in my office.

Went in device manager and searched for USB driver updates and mine are apparently up to date.

No trying a dell support chat window- let's see how long this takes....

Lenovo X240 Series ThinkPad :: Audio Port On Ultra Dock Docking Station Not Working

Feb 19, 2013

I have a ThinkPad X240 laptop with Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 installed. Sound plays just fine from the laptop's speakers, and when I plug external speakers into the laptop's 3.5mm audio port they work just fine too. when the laptop is docked in my Ultra Dock 90W docking station and the external speakers cable is plugged into the dock's audio port, no sound is heard. If I'm playing music through the laptop's speakers, as soon as I plug a cable into the dock's audio port no sound is heard. I can still use the laptop's audio port to connect external speakers, but that defeats the object of having an audio port on the Ultra Dock.

The Ultra Dock has (I believe) the latest firmware installed (version 2.22.000) and I have the latest audio drivers installed: in Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers > Realtek High Definition Audio > Driver version is 6.0.1.7188 which is the latest available from Lenovo Support downloads. What do I need to do to get the Ultra Dock's audio port working? I mistakenly posted this message on the "X Series tablet ThinkPad Laptops" board.

Dell Latitude E5520 :: Will Not Start In Docking Station

Aug 10, 2012

We have an unusual problem with a Dell Latitude E5520. It has been built with Windows 7 32bit SP1 and McAfee EndPoint Encryption, as we do with all of our laptops.

When the laptop is powered on and then docked, everything works fine. If you then give the laptop a restart whilst docked, it just doesn't! It shuts down and stays in some kind of power save mode. I have been through all of the Power options, including closing of the lid and turned off everything that could be causing this to happen, but still nothing.

If the power button is pressed whilst docked, the light comes on but that's it, no activity. Undock it, power up, close the lid and dock it again, all of the external screen, keyboard and mouse work as you would expect. I believe all of the drivers are up to date (it is a new laptop).

The docking station is an E-Port Plus DP/N: FFCV6 A00

Dell Latitude E6820 :: Docking Station Not Recognizing 2nd Monitor

Feb 24, 2013

I have a Dell Latitude E6820 and have just connected a new Dell E-Port Plus II Docking station.  Plugged in to the docking station are two monitors, one plugged into DVI Connector 1 and the other plugged into DVI Connector 2.  The laptop is running Windows 7 64 bit.

Try as I might, I can not get the system to recognise the second monitor.  I have tried the following to get this to work.

- Enabled Optimus (I think that is what it was called in the BIOS) - When I enabled this, neither of the monitors would work via the docking station

- Disabled Optimus - One monitor works

- Attempted to detect the other monitor via Control Panel > Display > Adjust Resolution (monitor not detected)

- Swapped monitors and cables in case it was a cable or monitor issue.  All Cables and Monitors have been verified as working as expected.

- Attempted to connect one monitor via VGA cable.  Only one monitor was detected

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: T540p - USB Ports In Docking Station Don't Work

Sep 1, 2014

I have a T540p laptop with Windows 7 installed on it, and when I insert it in the docking Station (Ultra Dock 90w) the USB ports don't work. 

I tried with another laptop setup with Windows 8.1 and everything works fine. I also tried with another docking stsation, I have the same issue. I suspect something wrong with Windows 7. 

All drivers are properly installed as the computer is new. I also performed the docking Firmware update from this page [URL] ... but this didn't work.

Dell Latitude E6400 :: Laptop Reboots When Inserted In Docking Station?

Apr 12, 2011

My Dell Latitude E6400 laptop reboots when inserted in the docking station. I can run all day and say I hot dock it out of  the docking station and go away for half an hour. While away I use the laptop. When I return I snap the laptop back onto the station and.... it reboots! It started about a week ago. Always worked before. The peripherals are two displays, ext kybd, mouse. No USB stuff. Ethernet connected in the dock. This setup is unchanged for months now. Docking contacts clean. Under laptop too.

BIOS is most recent (did a few months ago). I reset defaults in the BIOS today after looking for any setting that may change this issue, but no improvement. Device Manager has nothing relevant either. What's wrong? The hard reboot is really bad as I lose all my in progress work and get all these Auto Recover files to manage... and logins... and restart apps... I'm not interested in putting the computer to sleep between transitions, as it has always been working flawless up to last week.

Dell Latitude E5440 :: Intermittent Power Connection To Docking Station

Dec 16, 2014

I was given a Dell Latitude E5440 and a docking station for my work.  I brought in a wireless mouse and keyboard that I use for input (the reason for mentioning this will become evident later).  The computer and dock were NIB and are ~ 2 months old.  I have a Dell external monitor plugged into the dock via a DVI cable, and use it as a secondary monitor.

One thing I noticed early on with this setup is that the interconnection between the computer and dock is 'flimsy', at best.  If I move the computer/dock on my desk by sliding it around, I lose connection and the external monitor image disappears.

My current issue is related but a bit different, I think.  On 3 separate occasions in the past couple of weeks, the notebook screen has gone black without warning and the system has shut down.  Once I was able to get the system back on, I was able to determine that the cause was that the battery had drained to 5%, and the system had shut down.

What I find odd is that this has happened while the unit is on the dock.  What is even more odd to me is that, apparently, while the notebook has lost power connection to the dock, the video connection to the external monitor remained in tact.   That is, in fact, the main reason I did not notice that the battery was draining.  That, and the fact that I was never shown a warning that the battery was getting low and I should find an outlet.  So, only the power connection pin or pins of the dock appear to be affected.  This happened last night when I left for home.  I had not touched the computer all day, since I have the wireless keyboard/mouse I mentioned above, but I did shut the lid to put the system into sleep mode.  However, during the night, it apparently shut off because, the next morning, when I went to turn it on, I was greeted with a black screen stating the system had shut down unexpectedly and did I want to boot into Safe Mode.  Upon booting, both PowerPoint and Word prompted me to 'recovery' my files that had been opened when the power was lost.

Questions: Why I would not receive a warning from the PC that the battery was getting low, so that I could either check the power connection or have time to gracefully shut down.  That is much more preferable than the system behaving the same way it would if I had simply removed the battery when it was on.

Dell Latitude E7240 :: Bluetooth Tray Icon Removed When Adapter Turned Off

Feb 17, 2014

When one turns off the Bluetooth adapter from the tray icon, the tray icon disappears. In order to turn the BT adapter back on, it appears one must go to the Device Manager to re-enable the BT adapter. This is inconvenient and not awfully intuitive for a usual business end-user. In the past the BT icon in the tray would remain, but turn color to indicate it's off. And the end user could right-click it and turn it back on when needed.

Currently it appears, turning off the BT adapter, actually disables it and it "disappears". Is there a way to simply turn the adapter off and more importantly back on without having users get into the device manager from their standard user accounts?

E7240 with Dell 1601 WiFi/BT adapter in use on Win7/64 Ult.

Dell :: XPS M1530: Kensington SD100S Laptop Docking StationSafe To Unplug From Docking Station And Monitor While Booted Up And Running?

May 4, 2009

I have an XPS M1530 running Vista Home Premium 64-bit, T-9300 Processor, 6 gig RAM, 320 gig 7200-rpm harddrive. I am using it with the Kensington SD100S Laptop Docking Station (with stand) and a 22" Samsung monitor (monitor as primary display and laptop display as secondary display) and the Dell Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The Kensignton docking station attaches to the M1530 via USB.

My question is, is it safe for me to detach the docking station when the M1530 is booted up and running? What about detaching the monitor? Except when I have an external USB harddrive turned on, there is not anything in my tray icons to indicate (as far as I can tell) that any hardware needs to be safely removed.

I have a 2nd AC adapter in my den separate from my home office, but I so rarely take the laptop mobile in the house since I power down first. Please let me know whether I am being too cautious, and if it is safe to detach the docking station and monitor while running any precautions that I should take. I do have my XPS backed up via Ghost if a problem should happen.

Dell :: With Docking Station

Aug 25, 2009

I'm looking for a laptop that has a port that allows it to connect to a docking station that will actually provide power to it.

I see a lot of them have docking stations available that connect via USB, but you still need to connect a separate power supply to the laptop. Ideally,

I'd love to have one that connects to the docking station by "sitting" in it... i.e., rather than plugging a cable into the "special" port on the laptop, the port is underneath or even just in the back of the laptop in such a way that it connects to the dock by simply resting the laptop up against it.

Dell :: M4400 Docking Station

Apr 30, 2009

I just ordered a docking station from ebay. Everything looks good and works fine except when I plug in my power cord to the dock it the computer says the adapter doesnt supply sufficient power to charge the laptop and requests that I plug in a 90W adapter.

The thing is I'm using the 130W adapter that came with my laptop. If it makes any difference my adapter is a PA-4E model and the dock is the E-Port Plus Replicator

Dell :: Docking Station For E4300, Is Dual DVI Necessary?

Jan 14, 2009

Or, more to the point, since I have only one VGA out from the laptop itself, would DVI be of any benefit at all?

Would dual DVI mean that each external monitor would run better?

If not, I'll just get the cheaper docking station. For my desktop, which the E4300 is replacing,

I have had one VGA and one DVI, and it is OK, but I like things the same if possible.

Dell :: Has Anyone Used The 6400/6500 With A Docking Station

Oct 15, 2008

My laptop's fan WILL NOT turn off. Its spinning at blow dryer speeds all the time.

Initially I thought I had a lemon with some heat issues, so I returned it and DELL sent me a new one. I received it today and it has the same problem as the one before.

Apparently this laptop runs super hot when in the docking station-the reason being, I have no clue.

im worried that the internals are going to overheat cuz this fan is blowing out really hot air.

When I use it on the go or anywhere outside of the docking station-no fan problems.

Would hate to lose my docking station/external monitor...

Dell :: D610 Dead Except When In Docking Station

Nov 3, 2009

My daughter's D610 slowly died during a 10 week car holiday trip in Northen Australia. From the description of how it gradually happened I assumed it could be bad power connection and eventually the battery failed.

Completely dismantled very carefully and tested the power connector, whilst not perfect I believe the solder joints were acceptable.

When power supplies PA10 or PA12 plugged in directly to the laptop no lights of any kind, with or without battery. Checked with other battery too, same result. The power supplies do deliver right voltage and good under load.

Have a docking station and partly to my surprise with the 95W or PA10 power supply the D610 works fine. With the PA12 or 65W power supply the docking station refuses to work telling you to shut down and replace the power supply.

Ran into a problem when I tried to test with the car power converter, which delievered enough power but was not recognised so docking station again refused. The second D610 I later had to hand allowed the car power to be used but under "protest", warning that performance might be poor. Eventually I got the PA10 which was accepted.

I have a second D610 which works fine on all 3 power supplies. Now having option for swopping parts, I would like to know what I can try to figure out what is causing the power interruption?
