Connection T510 to Mini Dock Series 3 shuts down system

[Carl Simon Adorf]

Whenever I connect my Lenvo Thinkpad T510 to my Mini Dock Series 3 dock (Type 4337), the system shuts down cold. If it was in stand-by before, it is now turned off and I have to reboot the notebook. Disconnecting works fine.

This is a severe problem as I experience a potential data loss each time I connect the notebook as well as a time loss of course. I also want to stress, that I experience this phenomena only with one of my two docking stations. The other one works fine.

I did not find any log entry, which is related to the event.

Experienced on Ubuntu 13.04., but not with Windows 7 running on the same system.

This happens to me on 14.04, even if the laptop is suspended when docked. I thought it had to be a hardware problem though, because I don't have windows available to try it.

[Eric (eric-woodruff)]

I can demonstrate that this isn't a hardware problem by docking the laptop while powered on in the BIOS setup; there it docks just fine without shutting off.
