Hi there,
I have an elitebook 2570p and a A9B76AV docking station and have been having a few issues with the pair. Quite often when the laptop is on the docking station, after a while the internet will drop out. The wireless signal will still say that it is connected with full strength, but no internet pages will load. Strangely, some downloads will continue - torrents for example. In addition to this, my usb wireless mouse will intermittently stop working at the same time. I try to reset the computer to fix the issue, but it hangs at the "shutting down" screen of windows. If i force it to turn off, then switch it back on, it will hang at the very first HP logo screen. Interestingly, when I remove the computer from the docking station, all of these issues fix themselves immediately. But I like to use the docking station when at home. It seems to happen most often after i've been using the combo for a few hours. Reseating the computer on the docking station does not typically fix the problem. I often cannot use the docking station again until the next day, when it does seem to work again.
Any idea on what is going on here?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
Ps. This just happened again, and I noticed that when it does, i get the windows "device disconnect" tone. If that's relevant. I should also mention that while the internet still says it is connected and has full strength, I cannot even access the router setup page. It just times out.
