Not really looking for answers, this concerns my work laptop -- don't really need a fix because there's a shiny new machine waiting for me in the home office & it looks like I'll get to spend some time there next week. This is only to share this wierd symptom.

It's an HP laptop. Out of the office I use it nekkid, in the office I put it on a docking station. What it's doing is it works just fine in the docking station, but when I take it to the hotel it refuses to power up. Argh! To make this even more interesting, yesterday just before I left work I shut it down in the docking station, pulled it off, and checked to see if it had "fixed itself". Yep, it powered up. Cool, I thought, it's fixed. But when I got to the hotel, it again wouldn't power up. WTF?

Well, not my problem. Well, actually it's a good feature! It means I have a good excuse for not working or checking emails off-site! :monkeydance:

But, still, a big WTF?, over....
