Try opening the Duo and make sure that the trackpad connectors are all securely attached. I can see these coming loose, especially if the computer ever had a good "jarring". If the Duo can't find the hardware, the control panel might not open. When you did a clean install of OS 8.5, did you reformat the disk? If not there might be some residual preference file causing troubles. While we're at it, try throwing your preferences folder away and restarting outside the dock. The dock may be writing preferences that mislead the Duo when it's out of the dock.
