    Use dual monitors with HP nx6120

    Hi guys..
    I am trying to have an HP NX6120 Laptop use dual monitors.. both monitors are pulgged through the docking station one is VGA and the other DVI
    I did some research and saw that the DVI actually don't work.. even if I plug the DVI alone it won't recognise the monitor as the DVI is not connected in the laptop or something.. "thats what HP support" says.. after researching a lot..

    My request here is.. does anyone have an idea of how I can make that work.. I have like 4 laptops of that model and the users are supposed to be able to use dual screens and replacing them all is a bit costly..

    Please your suggestions will be highly appreciated and rewarded...

    thanks
    Ash

    I don't think that model is compatible with the HP Docking station.

    The HP Docking Station is compatible with HP Compaq 6300, 6510, 6515, 6530b, 6535b, 6710, 6715, 6720t, 6730b, 6735b, 6910, 6930p, 7400, 8200, 8400, 8510, 8710 and 9400 series Notebook PCs and HP Compaq 4200 and 4400 series Tablet PCs.

    NOTE: Some notebook models do not support the docking feature.
    NOTE: DVI is not supported on the HP Compaq 6100, 6300 and 6500 series.
    NOTE: Not all models are available in all regions

    Got the solution for that one. using a USB to DVI convertor do the trick and it works perfectly fine..
