Can I make the 433810U dock work on my W520?

#1 Post by SozXD » Wed Sep 15, 2021 3:30 pm

I bought the wrong dock and am wondering if I could make it work on my W520. It came with the 90w power adapter and all the 170w adapters I can find online are only compatible with other models.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm able to get my screens to power on but the device doesn't want to charge from it's own charger while it's docked. I don't mind having to plug in 2 cables.

I'm using Linux Mint. Is there any way to get the laptop to take a charge from it's own charger while using the dock?
