    Sometimes when I re-dock after using my laptop around the apt., I cant turn the computer on in the dock.
    The power button is on in the back but I get nothing.
    I have to hold the button down to turn off the computer and then restart-which im sure is not good for the computer.

    Anyone know whats going on?

    Add to my seemingly endless list of Latitude problems...

    I would suggest updating your BIOS and video drivers (if you have a dedicated GPU).

    was your laptop in sleep mode when you placed it on your dock?

    If you're also using Vista, try download this microsoft hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928135

    I had issues with sleep and hibernation with another laptop, and this fix helped solved the issue.
