Lenovo W520 Owner's Thread

[Thors.Hammer]

-DVDROM on/off Question? When I received my W520 the DVDROM would stay off and only turn on when I would open it to insert a disc.

It's in the Advanced mode power profile settings. See my thumbnail for the location.

Yes. Those sticks will work.
Here's another link. Maybe you can save a few euro, if the shipping charge isn't to crazy. FRYS.com|Corsair

Not sure if this is a place to ask this question but hopefully someone has some advice. When I purchased my W520, I got a docking station with it for a home setup. I feel like I need another one for the office now, but this will add much cost. Even with the B&N discount, I am looking for $216 before tax. Any suggestions? I was thinking may be getting it and selling the adapter as I already have 2 adapters now!

What was the question?
The cheapest option is probably eBay.

What are you using the dock for in each location? It would put the dock at the location that has the most stuff to connect.

Guess what, eBay is not the cheapest place to get it. Just discovered that other places sell it much less than eBay.

My work is flexible. I move back and forth between home and office (both have display, keyboard and mouse to connect--home keyboard and mouse are wireless but not the office). I am still not decisive whether or not I should buy one for the office especially that I share the office and I am afraid the docking station gets stolen).

I may end up just connecting the display, keyboard and mouse manually at the office each time I work there!

Sorry if this discussion's place is not supposed to be in this forum.

If you are worried it will be stolen in the office, I would take it home.
