Sony :: SR Series Docking Port And Heat-related

Jun 24, 2009

I have an SR-190 CTO which I've had since last September. Every time I take the laptop off the docking port, it is scorching hot. Has anyone else noticed this? And when I took the laptop off tonight, the battery was at < 10% even though it had been on the dock for a couple hours. I also cannot for the life of me remove the battery...I'm really hoping it's not melted to the laptop or something.

Has anyone else had related issues with the SR docking port? I'm still in the 1-year (though I also have an extended warranty), but this sort of problem really )@#%*s me off.

Sony :: Vaio Z Dual Display Docking Port

Mar 3, 2009

I am planning to get 2x 23inch monitors 1920x1200. So now here is the situation. I want to connect both of these to my sony vaio z. I have found solutions such as the Matrox DualHead2Go box and what not.. But i was wondering if i can get the sony z docking station and use that for dual output. Unlike some other threads that i've read my situation would be to plug the hdmi on the laptop to monitor1 and the dvi from the docking station to monitor 2.

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.

Sony :: Z-series Docking Station And Windows 7

Nov 14, 2009

I have a problem with the docking station for my Sony Z-11, the Z11 itself doesn't have a DVI out, but the docking station does, however with windows 7 the docking station dvi port doesn't work anymore.

How do I fix it? Is there some drivers I need to install, otherwise Win 7 works perfectly on the laptop. Just think there must be something I'm missing, and google doesn't help.

Docking station model number is VGP-PRZ1

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 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.....

Sony :: VGN-CR590C! Driver Related (Upgraded From Vista X86 &gt; Win7 X64

Nov 5, 2009

I used to have Vista 32-bit on here and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit. The problem is that the Sony website doesn't release Windows 7 64-bit drivers for my model as it is only sold with Vista 32-bit.

[url]

As you can see, there is no drop down menu anywhere to select which operating system I have.

And here:
[url]
it says that Windows 7 is not supported. (I have ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and my computer seemed to check out and pass all the system requirements.)

where all necessary driver updates for my computer are, as many things I've noticed either don't function the same or at all as they used to when I had Vista?

Here's a list of all the problems that I've noticed so far.

- Scroll on touch pad didn't work (Resolved by downloading Synaptics drivers)

- Plugging into the headphone jack didn't do anything (Resolved by downloading Realtek drivers but Windows Update keeps insisting I install their Realtek drivers which brought up the problem again)

- Volume buttons change the volume in very tiny increments and doesn't show the levels on screen (Major issue for me.)

- Doesn't support Dual/Multi Monitors

- Doesn't recognize MIDI Controllers (Resolved. Not sure how.)

- Card reader doesn't work. (Another major problem.)

- Webcam doesn't work. (Built-in mic seems to work fine.)

- "AV Mode" button does nothing (I've never had a use for this button but before it would make the whole screen go black.)

- Can't use the brightness up/down function keys

Sony :: New Vaio Z Series Core I7 ILink Port Speed

Feb 17, 2010

Does anyone know what the speed is of the iLink port on the new Sony Vaio Z Series Core I7?

I'm trying to decide whether to get the Vaio Z with 3 usb ports or 2 usb ports and 1 iLink port. If the iLink port is a lot faster then the usb ports i'll probably get it with an ilink port. If it's a slow ilink port (400 mbps) then i'll probably get the laptop with 3 usb ports.

It would be nice if it comes with a fast ilink port (800mbps) so i can get a faster connection if i connect the laptop to an external hard drive.

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 :: Confused -S-XPS 1645 Related

Jan 6, 2010

Just spent an Hour on the phone with a dell rep today and its got me pulling my hair out and i'm really confused..

Basically, one of the USB ports, in my XPS-1645 does not work .(the port right next to the microphone jack).

The other two work fineThis was the case right from the time it got delivered to me which was on 12th December.

After troubleshooting, it was clear that the USB port wasn't going to magically start working and the guy gave me the option of getting the part replaced, a full unit replacement or a refund.

The last two options run out on 12th January
Now i'm in a dilemma as to whether to ask for a full unit replacement or just the part, as i will have to wait another 15-40 days to get a new laptop for which time ill be stuck without a laptop .....

HP/Compaq :: HP Dv6 Series W/AMD Heat Output

Aug 30, 2009

I have done all the searching I can in the past week to find information on the heat output of the HP dv6 series equipped with AMD processors because I plan to order one tomorrow or Tuesday, the dv6-1260se Artist Edition.

I really did not want to create a topic for this because I was sure it has been addressed at least in part before but I couldn't find enough information to confirm or deny my overheating fears.

If any dv6; even dv5, dv7, and HDX 16 owners; have any information on the heat output of these models.

Dell :: M1730 Downclocking Problem, Non-powermizer Related

Jun 8, 2009

Strange downclocking problem here.

Powermizer is active because the clocks of my 8800m gtx's go down to 200/100 instead of the 500/800 standard.

When in use, GPUZ says that my cards are running at 381/301. Why is this? Why am I not allowed to use the cards how they were made to be used?

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: Very Loud Sound Cracks Using W530 In Docking Station

Jun 19, 2012

I have a very annoying problem with my W530. When i'm using it in the docking station (last years version without usb 3.0) erverything works fine, but there are a few very loud sound cracks playing through my external speaker system. Without the dock with the buildin speakers no problem. My external speaker plugged in the headphone jack no prob either.

These loud sound cracks appear when a few seconds no sound is played and then when a new sound starts to play. So i guess it has something to do with some power saving mechanism in the realtek sound chipset. When a continues sound is played like a song no sound cracks are happening.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Restriction On Mechanical / Traditional Docking On T440-series

Mar 12, 2012

I was just reading the Lenovo Competitive Side-by-Side sheets and for the T440/T440s/T440p, it says this for docking: "Yes (No Mechanical Docking with Discrete)"
 
I take this to mean that if a PC is equipped with discrete graphics will not be able to dock using the mechanical (driverless) docks.  Why would that be?!   Why is there a dock with a 170W adapter, which would be to power discrete graphics, if it can't dock?

Sony :: Prz1 Docking Station

Feb 18, 2009

We are using the sony prz1 docking station with our z590 laptops. we are having a lot of problems with the video signal and monitor resolution.

When we start the laptop (docked or undocked) the video signal and resolution has to be set manually everytime to use an external monitor (if you have already docked it and setup the dual monitor settings (clone) and just restart without undocking it the settings will stay the same).

after the resolution has been set for the external monitor and then we undock the laptop (start>undock). the resolution does not change back to the native laptop resolution. we have 4 machines setup like this. they all use different external monitors (samsung, viewsonic, hp, and sceptre).

Sony :: Docking Station- Z11x

Mar 24, 2010

Has anyone used a docking station with a Z11x? I'm looking at picking one up but want to make sure I do not have to reboot when I dock or undock.

To avoid any confusion:
I attend meetings off and on all day and would like to be able to use it at my desk, de-dock, use it in a conference room, go back to my desk and dock it and have it switch over the power, network and keyboard/video/mouse without rebooting, etc.

Sony :: Vaio SR Docking, Simultaneous Use Of VGA And DVI-D

Oct 29, 2009

I just bought a Sony Vaio SR59VG/H and I really like it so far!

A problem I've stumbled upon though is that a connected VGA-cable covers a part of the HDMI port!

My intention was to see if I could use both ports simultaneously by making a dual screen setup (not including the laptop screen of course). Since I don't have any thin VGA cables (and they are nowhere to be found in stores), the solution seems to be to buy the docking station.

And so to my question, does anyone here have the docking station? Can you confirm that a dual-screen (not cloning) setup is possible using both VGA and the DVI-D port on this docking station? I also suppose that it's actually the Radeon card that is used, and not a stupid usb-to-vga/dvi adapter inside the docking station.

By the way, some "interresting" facts:
Sony W7 Pro installation: 92 processes, 1.2GB used memory, 20-30% constant CPU usage.
Clean W7 Pro installation: 34 processes (after indexing turned off), 850MB memory and 0% constant cpu usage.

Sony :: Vaio Docking Station

Jan 26, 2009

I am planning to buy one of the Sony Vaio NS series laptops. My question is in regards to a docking station. I really want to be able easily use my current desktop monitor and keyboard. Most of what I do is in Photo Shop and I have a big monitor that I can see lots of detail on my desktop. I contacted Sony and they said they don’t currently make a docking station for the NS series. It has been years since I’ve had a laptop and not sure of the options out there. It used to be I could just slide my HP laptop into this “station” that would automatically “plug” into my monitor, keyboard, etc.

Sony :: Vaio SR With Docking Station

Jan 27, 2009

i finally got the docking station for my Sr, have to say its not as good as i had hoped, the unit doesnt seem to click in, and in general its a fairly poor dock compared to the HP ones i have at work. That aside i have an issue.

1. When using the SR in the dock, i have to open the screen before the power button will start the unit? Seems strange, is there a setting for this or is this a poor design?

2. When the laptop is on and docked, my network connections both connect at the same time, eg i have wifi and lan both connected, this seems a bit strange, i would have thought that when im docked the unit wouldnt use wifi, and would use LAN instead. Again is there a setting for this as its not ideal currently.

Aside from that all seems well with the unit, seems stange to me that the dock provides gigabit network and the machine unit provides up to 100.

HP/Compaq :: DV6563CL W/ Win7 64 BitFan LOUD At Start Up Or After Sleep- Maybe Nvidia Driver Related

Aug 12, 2009

Laptop: DV6563cl (Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 3GB RAM, 500GB/7200, 15.4 inch, Win 7 RC 64bit, 128MB 8400m GS)

I recently bought a 500GB/7200 RPM hard drive to my laptop and I decided to install Windows RC 64 bit. Before doing the hard drive update, I had installed the 7 RC 32 bit since it came out.

Now, I can't recall when I had the 7 RC 32bit that the laptop's fan was running on full blast after sleep/stand-by. It is also loud when you start-up the computer from a restart or after a shut-down. The fan speeds down to a quiet speed/rpm after...I'd say 2-3 minutes.

I installed everything listed on HP's website for my laptop (drivers and such after installing 7 RC 64bit):
[url]

I noticed that the Nvidia driver on HP's website was not a recent one, so I hopped on Nvidia's website to get a newer driver instead (186.03 I believe).

I have my laptop set to Power saving's mode and I only bump it to Balanced when I'm doing something heavy (like iTunes encoding, etc).

I did check to see if maybe my anti-virus program that's installed (avast...AVG didn't install when I went to 64) was doing scans or such, but it isn't. Well, actually I take that back...does avast do a very slow/quiet scan in the background? I see the HDD status light blinks steady, but when I pause avast, there is not steady blinking.
