    hokay.... power is in the unit, laptop is charging but the light is not turning on in the switch / switching graphics to the PMD

    any suggestions on what I need to hit to get it to switch graphics?

    You did use the bigger power block, right? The small one is just for the main unit, it does not have enough power to run both the PMD and Z at the same time.

    yup, but you gave me an idea, I removed power to the PMD and reconnected and it started working now.

    Weird, have not had this issue. Not at home nor at the office. Both with PMD, 3 screens in the office and 2 at home :cool:

    But hey, if it's fixed it's fixed!
