    Can you use this with the lid closed?

    I would like to dock my dv6426 and use an external monitor plugged into the docking station.

    Thanks,
    -Chris

    Thanks much! I just did not want to have it open if I did not have to.

    Make sure you go into power options and disable "sleep when lid is closed". Just to give you a heads-up
