HALLELUJA Brothers and Sisters, there is a new firmware for the USB-C Gen2 40AS dock and it seems to be working just fine for a while now using the following firmware/driver combination:
Firmware: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/options/thinkpad_usb-c_dock_gen2_fw_v1.0.8.03231.exe
Radeon Driver: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/r1bap05w.exe
If you have any issues, dont even consider going to their support forum, i've seen chimps on reddit with more observable intelligence than most ""support specialists"" there.
And not like anybody cares, but as of today i'm done with this sub.
All the shitposting is bloody annoying if you ask me and simply has nothing to do on a technology focused sub in my opinion. 70+% of the posts have zero information, 25% cant use search and as much as the rest of the 5% of this sub is amazing with mods/howto's and tonnes of good info and a just a handful of people who are actually know their shit... but i just cant be assed to shift through the shite for a speck of gold. Never thought i would say this but this sub could do with a moderator or two.
Good luck peeps and have fun!
A user on here reported that the video on their Gen 2 dock (40AS) recently began working with their Ally. For those with the 40AS model, are you able to test and see if it now works for you (you might need to update the docks firmware)?
I have two identical Lenovo 40AS Gen 2 docking stations. Yesterday, seemingly out of nowhere, they stopped supporting external displays. I tried three different monitors - two from Dell and one from Lenovo. None of them work with either one of the docking stations. All three work when directly plugged into one of two Lenovo laptops. I also tried various original USB-C cords to no avail. When I try updating the firmware through Lenovo vantage or directly it failed because of the DP hub.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone have a solution or a concept of a solution? Thanks a ton for your input in advance! This is really torpedoing our families working from home situation.
