Is there a firmware upgrade for the docking station? &nbsp;You would have to run the IBM update program from the dock if there was one.

I have a T61 that undocks without any problems. &nbsp;But, when it is redocked, the eternal monitor won't turn on automatically. &nbsp;I have to poke around in the presentation director to get the external monitor to turn on. &nbsp;I tried using the nVidia software to setup a profile with the docked settings. &nbsp;But, I couldn't find where to make it automatically use the profile I created.<br />

Anyone have any thoughts?

T61 External Display Problem

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
