Battery indicator is
inaccurate Time Remaining is an estimate
based on notebook’s power use at
that moment. It, therefore, depends
on current task and assumes power
will be used at that rate until battery
runs out. So if notebook is currently
using good deal of power (such as
when reading CD or DVD), Time
Remaining likely shows less time
than actually remains.
Standby/resume
General problems Close all applications before entering
(or allowing notebook to enter)
Standby or Hibernation mode.
If problem appears after installing
new software (including drivers),
uninstall that software. Contact
software vendor for additional
support.
Notebook resumes slowly
from Standby mode Notebook can take a minute or
longer to resume if network card is
installed. Blinking cursor appears
while system is loading and checking
hardware and network connections.
When hardware is reinitialized,
Windows desktop appears.
Does not suspend to
Standby mode as
expected Notebook won’t suspend
if connection to another computer is
active.
If notebook is busy, it normally
finishes current operation before
suspending.
Does not automatically
enter Hibernation mode as
expected Make sure hibernate support is
enabled in Power in Control Panel.
Also, make sure Hibernate timeouts
(Power Schemes tab) for AC and
battery power are not set to Never.
