Hello,
I have an Elitebook 8740w laptop, with an Intel i7 processor, 16 Gb RAM and a 650 Gb Harddisk. I have bought an HP 2012 230w Advanced Docking Station for the PC. I also have a new external monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.
I would like to use the Displayport connection in the dockingstation to connect to the monitor, but for some reason it does not work. On the monitor I only get the message "No Signal" when I use the Displayport(s) on the docking station. However, when I connect the monitor to the Displayport directly on the PC, everything works fine.
In this regard it should be mentioned that I - from time to time - experience a strange behavior when I have the monitor connected to the Displayport on the docking station: During startup, the startup screen etc. appears on the external monitor, but as soon as Windows has started, the monitor shows "No Signal", and when I look at the display properties in Windows, I see the external Philips monitor listed, but as not connected.
I have the same issue with the DVI connections, which I also tried. The only connection from the docking station which works seamlessly is the VGA connection.
Can anyone help with this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Lasse Hummel,
