Windows 8 issues - USB display adapter

flo6677 · 11-04-2012, 11:31 AM

I also have the problem with out Laptop Lenovo X1 Carbon. As Windows 8 is installed (with USB 3.0 driver) I only installed the Lenovo USB 3.0 Dock driver and the new Display Link 7.0M2.
Only a few seconds the external display appeards, than the signal is gone... After ever new plug-in the same.
I already tried every step/hints on this forum-page. Nothing helps.

Do you have any hints to a stable connection to the USB 3.0 dock?
We need the Notebooks urgently in office...
Thanks a lot!

I think you have a different issue, which I have raised a bug for, as it needs further analysis.

Someone on here did have an issue with the X1 and updating the BIOS helped. Could you try this and see if it helps solve the issue?

Yes, I already updated BIOS from Lenovo support page and tried the new drivers. The first time monitors show a few seconds, now nothing happens, if I connect the dock.

I'm having the same issues as well. I had done an upgrade to Windows 8 when it first started. After having other issues with the upgrade, I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of Win 8 Pro. I installed the latest 7.0 M2 driver (downloaded from the DisplayLink website), hooked up the monitor, rebooted the machine when prompted to, and the screens began flickering on after reboot. Here is a video of what is happening: http://goo.gl/OT2ph. Sorry for the poor audio, but you should be able to get the gist.
