M220 Solder fix

In my case the "right" button was working intermittently.

I resoldered per the article above and it seems to be much better.

Cold solder joint apparently was the culprit.  I pulled off the old solder on both right and left buttons, put some re-work flux on and then used new solder.

Have a great day.

HP Laptop HP ENVY x360 15 Convertible PC 15-es2000 and HP Dock G5

 I find that my HP Envy x360 works OK with the HP dock G5....IF THE BATTERY isn't too low.

If the battery is below about 20%, the displays attached to the dock won't work.  If the lid is closed and the battery charges up a bit, the displays will come on.  I have 2 displays attached with DisplayPort cables.

The displays and other USB attached devices seem to all work fine.

The dock does charge the laptop.

If you use the included USB cable from Taylor, the weather station WILL run off USB with no batteries.

I tried a number of otherwise-functioning USB C cables with no luck.

Not sure what's so special about the included cable...might be a simple cable with only +5 and ground wired through.

Batteries alone in the 5282011 last about 2 weeks.
