It's important to go green, and saving every ounce of power will go a long way in saving our planet!

Thank-you for this quick tip. It's a good one!

Hi Aviraj,

Thanx for the tip, but my 1.5 yr old Acer Aspire 5742G notebook goes into hibernate (at times shuts down abruptly too) mode even though my Low Battery Notification is & has always been on. I use my notebook for over 12 hrs 6 days a week, so does it mean the battery has reached its end-of-life stage ? Read on other forums that a battery could last anywhere between 1.5 - 3 yrs depending on usage. I don't do battery-draining activities like use DVDs or other external devices extensively. I rarely use the DVD drive though I use my Transcend Ext HDD monthly to backup my data. Would appreciate a response, and possibly a solution. Thanks.

Hi Aviraj My vaio laptop shuts down on AC with a windows 7 warning but too fast to read. It is something like windows will shut down for security reasons end the bla bla in an entire blue page. Thanks Achilles

my windows 7, dell D630, already has the notification set to "on". It sill give son message and just goes to hibernate without warning.
thx
