Default Using Bionic on Atrix Lapdock

I followed all of the instructions to turn over the Atrix connections to work with my Bionic and that went well. The screen only stays active for less than 10 seconds before going either black or the Motorola emblem drifting around the screen. Any suggestions. I did not know how to start a new post.

Default Atrix to Bionic

I performed all the steps correctly and the connection between the Bionic and lapdock only lasts about 10 seconds before the screen goes black. Any suggestions?

Okay. Open it up again and try connecting the cables without the leads being pushed through their holes. This will tell you if they are simply seated too shallow or if you need to clean anything.

I had same issue with Atrix 2 to Atrix 4G lapdock mod. I just rebooted the phone while still docked and works fine.

To anyone still interested I purchased a lap dock for the ATRIX and spent about $20 on a set of male to female micro USB and micro HDMI cords about 6 inches long on amazon. Those cables were listed for the ATRIX also but that gave me ability to connect the photon or bionic easily. Only problem was clearance on the lap dock ports but if you remove the top piece of plastic magically there is room

Just bumping this thread as i just received and am modding my dock, ran into a problem - the bionic I'm using on this atrix lapdock is connected with the wires pulled from the housing, the hdmi output is activating the webtop software but the mouse and keyboard are not showing up (the mouse pad light is on and responds to the double tap on the pad to toggle)

Any suggestions? I've restarted the phone with the usb connected and hdmi disconnected, have not had the chance to try an aux mouse or keyboard yet

Had anyone had an issue where the usb/keyboard and mouse aren't withheld

My bionic is touchy about the Micro USB port - it will not work if the plug is in too far as well as too shallow. Try moving the plug in and out a very small amount and then rechecking your connection. I flipped the connectors in an Atrix Lapdock, and I'll have the keyboard drop out because the phone has been shifted by a small amount.
If that does not work, you may have pulled the snap connector loose inside the base unit - check there by pushing down hard and see if your finger can wiggle the connector.

Default external display

can you use this lapdock as an external display or does drm kick in? As in, it goes black after 10 seconds, I know the atrix one doesn't do this, but does the bionic?

I wanted to hook up a ps3 to this.
