    How to get USB Ports on ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with Lenovo Thinkpad W510

    As per long title suggest I want to get multiple USB ports on my Lenovo Thinkpad W510 with the help of ThinkPad Mini Dock plus Series 3. This ThinkPad Mini Dock plus Series 3 is also known as 4338 Dock 3. I try this combination but it doesn’t work in proper directions. Can anybody help me to do this task? No power, no communications. When I try connecting the USB keyboard, it will be not work on them. The same thing happens with the RJ45 network connection. any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

    If the USB ports on the W510 on the left are ON when docked. In that case, i suggest to temporary disable this left side inbuilt USB port. Then check what result arrives onto your docking system. I am sure it gives you the different result.
