I googled and searched the wiki and list but don't find anything like
that. It seems the docking station has power so I could get one and
connect the laptop to it. That might solve my power problem.
Has anyone ever used the docking station for these models?
They are selling on ebay for up to $100.
I hate to put money into this machine since it seems to be on it's last leg.
You don't need the full-up docking station. There is a "media cable"
that plugs into that same port that has ports on it for audio and
video out, but also includes a power connector. I have one and it
worked fine when my R3000z was working. It is an XC 1000 HP Media
Cable. Mine is not doing anything for me, if you are interested in
one.
I also have a 12-cell battery and a power adapter. There is even the
Athlon 64 3200+ CPU which I think is still good (though I have no way
to verify that now). I've scavanged about everything else.
