The monitor won't turn on when the docking station is turned on. The keyboard, mouse, and laptop are fine. In order to get the monitor on, you have to open the laptop monitor hit FN-7 and set the presentation setting to LCD and External Monitor. It used to work at one time, so I think a setting changed. I just don't know what.

Well, we don't know what kind of laptop you have, but I suggest finding out what F7 is a shortcut for (in system help or any documentation you might have- usually hotkeys are described). Find the menu that those monitor properties are on, and there's probably a setting like "monitor is on in docked configuration".

As good a guess as I've got right now.
