I have a Latitude D620, Centrino duo laptop and Pro1x Dell Docking station.
The laptop will boot and operate just fine as long as it is in the docking station. Everything works normal while docked.
When NOT in the docking station ....
When I try to power up off the dock, it will not recognize the hard drive or DVD drive.
Bios does not show the presence of either device.
On boot, I get an error ... device in the system modular bay can not be identified.
(1) Try reinserting / re-seating device
(2) Power off the system
(3) press [power button to try and detect device
ESC to ignore and try and boot
It will not recognize hard drive or CD drive regardless of steps taken above.
It will recognize and boot from the usb drive when not docked.
I have checked memory and removed / replaced auxiliary components. Tried different power supplies. Different hard drives. Reinstalled Windows xp , Windows 7 and Tried Windows 10. All with the same results.
Have also re-installing bios A10.
Has anyone had the same experience and resolved the problem?
Baffled as to why it works normal when docked, but fails to recognize drives when undocked?
