Help Lapdock 500

I jumped on the deal to get a lapdock for $150 and with my discount for working at the hospital ended up getting it for $113 brand new in the box. :D

This thing seems pretty cool but when I try to watch netflix the image is on its side or upside down. Anyone know how to fix this?

where did you get it for $150?
 
I got one as well. I didn't get the extra discount, but still $150 is great. I haven't had any issues with the display being upside down when I put it in the cradle on the back. The one thing that I know doesn't work with the Bionic is the Ethernet port and I read that the SD slot doesn't work either. Hopefully Motorola will fix that.

I like the feel of the keys and track pad much better on this that the original lapdock for the bionic.

Actually the SD card slot works fine. I got in on the $150 deal too. I had replaced my Bionic's micro-SD card with a 32 Gb Class 10 card, so I've been using the original 16 Gb card with an adapter in the lapdock card reader slot and it works great. Nice to have a little extra storage.

Here are the features that don't work with the Bionic currently:

Ethernet port
VGA-out
Webcam

All other features are working to my knowledge. Oh, and I also get the upside-down screen when using Netflix (or MX Video Player) with the phone in the cradle. Problem disappears if I lay the phone flat. Note that this is only with certain video apps, not the display in general.
