Re: Lenovo T61p Shuts Down upon Port Extender/Docking Bay Insertion

Need some help:

My new T61p (and old T60p for that matter) shut down instantaneously upon inserting them into the port extender/docking bay. There is no crash, no BSOD, nothing. I just immediately go from Standby (which I want to save time when transporting from work to home) to OFF. Help! I can't find anything about this, but am suspecting it is an electrical short problem. Since it is two laptops now and three docking bays I've tried, it appears to be a design issue. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jen
