    Anyone else having docking problems with T61p's? I can work all day in the dock, all is well, I can press the button, wait, eject, and work standalone for a while, all is well. When I return to my desk and re-dock, more times than not, the system will spontaneously power off the instant it is engaged in the dock.

    Assuming this is either a Vista issue (saw a technote that looks simiar but not exact) or a BIOS issue.

    Probably a firmware (Vista doesn't like to work with a lot of things) problem. I'd email IBM and they should get it sorted out in a few days or so.

    Assume you mean email Lenovo, doubt IBM cares :) but I may do that. I would assume it's probably already been noted and coming in a BIOS update soon if that's the deal. If not, Vista SP1.
