The idea here is that with a docking port I can just bypass the separate 
VGA port that causes me the problem and use the VGA port in the dock. I 
am assuming here that the same soldering problem may not exist where the 
expansion port pins connect to the NVIDIA card. After all the built-in 
notebook display doesn't seem to have the problem either.

I don't know ... my 1080p HDTV tuner works pretty well off that 
ExpressCard port. Of course I could forget about it if I tried to run my 
external monitor from it. :-( So my hope right now is in the expansion 
dock. I've found several potential sources for it, including eBay.
