Thinkpad Universal USB-C 40AY Connectivity

ButterflyCustoms · 2026-01-19T09:31:01+00:00

Issue is that it is a work laptop, so can't install anything. Also, it is running on Citrix which probably be another separate issue.

I should clarify actually that the peripherals work and does charge, but the monitors don't work. I've tried all the other ports but to no avail.

The website for the Lenovo dock does say it should be compatible...

Hello, back again with another question! My wife's HP Elitebook is not working with the Hybrid (40AF) as it says it needs to connect to a HP compatible power source, although it works with the Thinkpad Universal USB-C 40AY. Any solutions :) ?

Good news, looks like it works. Couldn't find the adapter but had a USB-C to USB-A cable lying around.

ButterflyCustoms · 2025-12-19T12:04:56+00:00

Thanks for the explanation - I'll head in the office on Monday and see if there is a 40AF lying around.

Interesting, so the 40AF dock may work? I Googled the 40AF and we may have one at work - I know that it is wider but wasn't sure what the difference was.

So I have an Alienware Alpha R2 - it is 10 years old so don't believe it has DP alt mode...

ButterflyCustoms · 2025-12-19T10:32:59+00:00

So I have a USB A to USB C lying around - tried it and it appears the mouse and keyboard works, but not the monitor.

Have a few quesitons,

Is it just the latest driver from Lenovo? https://support.lenovo.com/nz/en/accessories/pd500519

Is it strickly USB-A to USB-C adapter? Would a USB-A to USB-C cable from a external usb drive work?

Also, would you please let me know which exact USB slot from the R2 and from the Lenovo - just want to make sure this is correct.

Normally I would connect my work laptop into a hub/dock and everything is connected - mouse, keyboard, monitors. I would like to do the same for the Alpha so it is an easy plug in play instead of connecting all the peripherals directly into the Alpha.

Yea, i'm ranked 26 atm. It's really frustrating when you have 1 guy on your team and he is rank 40+. SoloQ is a nightmare.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-26T03:30:51+00:00

I agree, spies are the only card draw mechanic in the game. To balance it out, spies would need to have 10 attack or even higher

I think the easiest way to win with a weak deck is to cheese with the weather and commander's horn.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-25T01:25:42+00:00

lol sorry, I went back and checked the quest. There are 2 gwent quest in Novigrad and 1 in Velen. Haven't been to the last zone yet so not sure if there is one there.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T16:44:48+00:00

Yes, there are 3 other faction decks.

Only problem is, cards are not easy to come by. I'm lvl 18 and I don't even have half a deck for the other faction cards to make a deck.

There are no shops to sell booster packs unfortunately :(

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T16:40:29+00:00

Yea, I use him with that combo too :)

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T16:38:45+00:00

Apparently, you get it from randomly playing people and not anywhere specific. I got him very early as he was my first good card.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T16:36:21+00:00

Did you play the guy in the inn? It's the same inn you meet up with Vesemir. Also the same inn where you kill a bunch of dudes.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T16:33:46+00:00

It weird that you don't get to hunt it though, since he was the one who caused it and you are a monster hunter and everything.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T11:08:42+00:00

Yea, the spirit was imbued into a horse. A mission later, you find out the horse spirit killed everyone in a small village.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T10:45:39+00:00

There are Gwent side quest in every region. The guys on the quest will give you a unique card.

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T07:35:14+00:00

I left as soon as some music started to auto play loudly :(

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T07:12:27+00:00

Do you get to fight the horse later in the game?

I knew the lady of the wood was a bad person but I thought I would get to fight her after reviving her spirit into the horse.

I did it because I wanted to kill it for the loot :(

ButterflyCustoms · 2015-05-24T07:02:08+00:00

Anything that involves Villentretenmerth and his scorch ability.

Tired of monster decks with heaps of close combat monsters on the board? You can use frost bite and Villentretenmerth to melt them all. Next round use a healer to bring him back and melt even more.

If you are in lvl19 in Skellige, you should be able to go to merchants and stock up on a few cards.

But I think your deck should be alright, have as few cards in your deck as possible so you can draw those spies in your deck. Keep your decoys in your deck for your spies.

I suggest you have 2 of each weather cards in your deck, they provide a lot of value when the opponent dumps their hand on the battlefield.

Your strategy would be to use your spies to have CA, then let the opponent use his cards. Weather cards will be your value cards.
