Does anyone use their D620 with a docking station? Do you have it working with 10.6.8 or 10.7 ? I can't get mine to work. As soon as it boots (the boot-up screen is fine) the display goes black on a Dell monitor. I suspect it has something to do with the lid being closed and the sleep function? I can't get past 10.6.2 which works fine.

Well, to make a long story short, I tried upgrading and pooched my installation. Try as I might, I couldn't get my docking station to work with 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 which is no good for me. I suspect it's something to do with sleep or hibernation? I tried to do a fresh install and I got kernel panic with the leppy's swap disk. What's up with that? I tried to reformat with Mac and DOS. Same result? What to do?

I'm at 10.6.2 now. What happens if I run the EDP 1.9 Before the 10.6.8 update? Or is that putting the cart before the horse so to speak?

Thanks for the advice! I'm hoping I won't have any video problems. I tried an update before (forget which one) and had pixelation so bad I had to start over. This is my first Mac. Really diggin it so far!

Thanks, but if you're right about the clean install (and I'm not doubting that you are), I think I'll just stick with 6.2 and be satisfied for now. Thanks for the reply.

Did the heat sink work, or did you have to replace that too?

I hope to get some advice about upgrading. I've successfully installed 10.6.2 on my D620 and everything is working very well. From what I have read, from this point it gets a little dicey. I'd rather upgrade as opposed to doing a fresh install so I can save all my current settings. Can I upgrade to say 10.7 or .8 and then just copy the correct E.D.P. folder to my install? Am I on the right track in my thinking? I appreciate any advice I can get.
