Is the Power light always on? Even if the dock is not plugged to the computer? Is there any physical switch to turn the dock off?

I do not believe there is an off switch as the dock is always available to put into and the usb ports are always on so you can use them to charge batteries etc when not in use for computer

Yes the power light is always on as there is no shutoff switch as it is externally powered and does not use USB port for power.

Yes, the power light is always on ... I do not believe their is any physical switch to turn the dock off.

There is no on/off switch for the docking station, however the power light is not always on. If the system is powered down or the computer is not present it will stay off.

Yes, the docking station has it's own Power Port, works beautifully. One recommendation, I have a couple of these stations and find that I still use the one that has a CD/DVD reader burner the most. Pay the extra get the CD/DVD upgrade. Good luck!

The only light that is on by default is the power light, and it isn't too bright. I have not heard any noise from it, but there is a lot of background noise in the room. Its certainly quieter than a typical PC.

There is no power switch. If you want to turn it off, you have to unplug it.

Yes. In fact, it doesn't have an "on" switch, just boots when you apply power. You can shut it down via a menu option.

The docking station doesn't come with a power cable, but the one from laptop plugs directly in the back of the docking station.

Mine has never done that ... I charge the keyboard often as there is no indicator light that warns of low power, maybe that will help you too.

Probably need to take your cover off. I do. The dock requires power so it can't be wireless. No batteries.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

There is an on/off switch on the back of the monitor directly next to where the power chord is plugged in. It isn't patently obvious, so I thought I would offer this as a troubleshooting suggestion. If this doesn't help, let me know.

My experience is whenever the laptops cover is closed, regardless of plugged into the Dock Station, it puts the laptop into sleep mode, would be a great feature, however, don't think it functions that way...

There is an on/off switch. Is it in the on position? Otherwise might be a bad unit (assuming you know the USB port is good).

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-

The keyboard does not have a power/on off sleep button. It is powerd from the usb connection.

No. It does not power the laptop or charge the battery. There are two things to plug in while it is docked, the USB cable to the dock and the power cable for the laptop. So far the device is working perfectly.
