My light stays on when the USB cable is plugged in, you could try another USB cable or try a different port on your PC

Hi,
thanks for replying, i've tried the docking station on 2 different computers each with 2 different USB ports but still cant get the light to stay on, it just flashes occassionally when i'm putting it in, then the computer software cant piuck up that any phones are attached.
is it possible to get a new docking station, and if so any idea how much these are ??
thanks

I would find out were your nearest SE service centre is and take it there then they could test it for you and if its faulty it should be under guaranty so it wont cost you anything

this might be a problem with the power supply to the cradle. usb power is not used to charge the phone as it is really a glorified serial port rather than a usb peripheral. does the charger connect to the docking station securely?
This message was posted from a P800

Hey is it only me who don't have a light on my docking station? Mine only have a sony logo. Or am I getting blind?
@P800ed
I don't connect the powersupply to the docking station but still it works fine I download software and do all sort of things

the light is behind the sonyericsson logo, so when you plug the phone in, the logo glows up

Thanks, but does it glow only when the power supply is connected as well or will it light up when just the USB cable is pluged in?
@ daking4uk
Regarding your PM, If the computer says no phone is connected then just move the phone while it is in the docking station, it may be a loose contact becasue mine does that some time. And you will be able to use the docking station with out connecting it to the power supply because I never used it that way and it works fine

im pretty sure it doesnt matter wheter the charger is plugged in or not.... it'll light up anyway.
but i just leave the charger plugged into the station anyway

hi,
thanks for all your replies, i'll try wiggling it a bit to see if it connects, i only thought the light was supposed to stay on cus it flashes on sometimes and then goes straight off.
i'll try your suggestions then if not i'll get in touch with the SE service centre and see what they say
thanks a lot
