Re: If the Ultrabase Series 3 still work on X330?
According to the first post in nitrocaster's original mod thread, the Ultrabase does not use Dock DP#2, only DP#1, so it should work without issues. However, other users reported they still needed to tape the DP#2 pins on the docking connector, so I don't know.

Mine X330 switches off screen when put in docking station Ultrabase 3.

But can you switch it back on manually - that is the question. And can you get both internal and external screen work at the same time?

I managed to get the screen work while on the dock station. This topic explained the taping: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=122640&p=808731#p808731
here is the picture:

However the success is limited. After the first screen idle shutoff I couldn't manage to switch it on by itself. Had to use external VGA screen to access fn + f7, then I could setup both screens to show.
However sometimes I can't switch on the inner screen. The OS is Fedora

Quick update -> while connected to an external VGA screen connected to the docking station , both screens work ok. After idle timer switches off screens there was no problem waking up both laptop and external screens.Bionicman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 8:39 amI managed to get the screen work while on the dock station.

It's quite strange that I could wake the screen this time even without the external screen.
I haven't tested the rest of the I/O from the docking.

Re: If the Ultrabase Series 3 still work on X330?
I just tried Ultrabase with X330 and the LCD still lights but software backlight control with Fn-key fails pending reboot. I would guess that the software backlight control uses a USB device connected to an Ultrabase USB which on docking overrides the backlight control device.

Did you tape the pins on the Ultrabay as mentioned above ?TPFanatic wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 6:09 pmI just tried Ultrabase with X330 and the LCD still lights but software backlight control with Fn-key fails pending reboot.
