Was du brauchst
-
-
Docking via 3 pcs. connectors sliding sideways into the laptop.
-
Power connector used is the square type.
-
Keep track of where the screws are located, because there are many.
-
Be careful on disassembly. The dock is partly mechanical, and it relies on springs and flexing of mechanical parts to function.
-
-
-
Check if the firmware is updated. In this case, the repair may not be needed. The dock needs to be powered and laptop docked when running the update tool.
-
-
-
Remove the 5 screws circled in red from the side of the dock.
The two hex heads by the VGA connector do not have to be removed at this point. It's much easier to get a nutdriver on them after the plastic cover is removed, you just have to lift that section of the plastic cover over the hex heads when removing the plastic cover.

-
-
-
Use plastic picks or a metal spudger to pry off the top left corner of the shown cover. Remove the hidden screw.
-
Lock engaged (LED on). The switch is located inside the button assembly.(when the slider is moved right).
-
Laptop connected/detected: LED on.
-
Screw for removing the key-lock. No need for removal if the whole button assembly is to be removed together.
-
-
-
Pry off the bezel around the key-lock. Remove the screw that connects the button assembly and the bottom assembly.
Removing the bezel is quite the challenge, the 3 tabs holding the bezel to the plastic button cover are strong. I got it off without breaking any of the tabs, but I put several mars on the button cover in the process.

Hello all, I am desperately looking for the firmware version 3.3.1 and after hours and hours of research I cannot find it.
I found the version 3.0 and the version 3.3.4 but not the version 3.3.1.
If please someone has this version and could send me a link of it....

Hello all,
I am desperately looking for the firmware versions 3.3.1 and 3.3.3 and after hours and hours of research I cannot find them. I found the versions 3.0 and the version 3.3.4 but not the versions 3.3.1 and 3.3.3.
I am researching them in order to perform successive updates until the 3.3.4 (the update always fails) and also being able to test each version on my external screen.
If someone has one of these version could you please send me a link of it ?
