[ltp] docking on a 570E

[Paul Timmins]

I know this may seem kind of condescending, but please do not take it as such.
I have seen this kind of behavior on docking stations when they don't have 
power. Check all the connectors very carefully. Try inserting the docking 
station power into your laptop and see that it charges the battery,  etc.
