DVI and DisplayPort problems - Dell E6230 with PR02X e-dock plus and Dell P2214H

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my monitors connected to my laptop (using an E-Dock Plus). I want to connect them as per http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN115952/EN/  , but here's what happens when I plug in just one monitor to the dock connections:

- VGA, desktop displays fine.

- Left DVI, desktop displays fine.

- Right DVI, I see the desktop but it's corrupted (pink/green and flickering - see attached photo)

- Left or right DisplayPort (connected to the monitor's DisplayPort input), all connected displays (including the laptop screen) turn black until I unplug the monitor.

I see the same behaviour using either of my two external monitors. I have the latest BIOS (v14) and graphics drivers from Dell. My PR02X dock came with the 130W power adapter, which is powering the dock and laptop.

At the moment I have my two P2214H monitors plugged into the VGA and left DVI connectors, but I can't use the laptop screen unless I connect them by DisplayPort instead. Does anyone know why I can't use the DisplayPort? Is the dock broken? I only bought it a few weeks ago and this is the first time I tested the DisplayPort connections, but otherwise it seems to work fine.

Thanks in advance!
