T400 freezes after disconnecting power from dock
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 6:50 am
I have my ThinkPad T400 at home always docked in my advanced mini dock. And the problem is that when it is docked and there is a power blackout or the power cable is disconnected from the dock, the laptop freezes. I need to do a hard reboot (holding down the power button for a few seconds) and I lose all my current work. As power blackouts are very common here I was wondering if there is a workaround that can let it continue to run on its battery. I mean, if I dock it without the power cable, it also works on the battery. The problem only occurs when the power is connected and then becomes disconnected while the laptop is running. Any advice?
