Will the laptop dock for the original Atrix work with the Atrix 2?

---

I Googled the hell out of it and cannot find anything concrete to suggest whether or not it would work with the Atrix 2...anyone know for sure?

As it is, the original laptop dock is physically incompatible with the Atrix 2. The micro usb and hdmi plugs are inverted (individually turned 180 degrees).

If you look at posts 33 & 34 here, they've managed to adapt theirs to work with the Atrix 2.

i jsut got the original atrix lapdock today delivered, it was $50 brand new, it took me about 10 minutes to open the dock part and swap the direction, little annoyed that it wont do mirror mode, just stuck in webtop mode

I'm glad I read this before I bought one! The wonderful folks over at radio shack told me that it would/was compatible... I'm technologically savvy but I don't have the tools to do modifications as mentioned above...

....at least I don't think I do. Without looking at the other thread mentioned, what tools were required if ya don't mind me asking?

I can confirm inverting the plugs on the 4G lapdock works great with the Atrix 2 using [ROM] Supercharged Atrix V 4. Took about 20 mins to invert the plugs. Now I can sell my 4G!!

Small Jewelers Phillips and a Small Standard screw driver. I used the Phillips for all six screws and the small standard to pry open the case. Easy Breezy....

too bad i reallly need this lapdock but the Amazon didnt send to my country..(MALAYSIA) sob..sob..

If anyone is still interested in the Atrix 4g lapdock, it's at radio shack for $20 +tax. I just got one (you may want to call around first to confirm they have one since it's only instore and not online). I converted it over to work with ours (really simple). Any questions, just ask or see the posts listed in this thread or in the Atrix 4g accessories forum. I only had to do 4 Philips screws (2 on the hinged dock part and then 2 holding the plugs in).

Might add if you do the mod and get the "unsupported device" error just reboot phone phone while it is still docked.

From another post I replied to concerning same issue. I did the described mod and got the same error message everyone seems to get (unsupported device). After dinking around with it a few minutes I noticed that if I pressed the power button on the phone (while docked), as you would to lock it during normal use, the lap dock monitor would reactivate. So I rebooted the phone while it was still docked and once it powered back up it connects to lap dock perfectly. I have been using it problem free for several hours now. Hope this helps others!
