| 1303439 | 2012-10-01 22:44:00 | 12% does seem a bit excessive. You tend to use about 1% or so when starting it up, but not 12%. As others have said take it back or be sure you're shutting it down properly. Also don't leave USB devices plugged into it. That can drain batteries too. |

| 1303440 | 2012-10-02 05:14:00 | By default in Windows 7 the "shut-down button" on the start menu is actually a sleep button. This could be the problem | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1303442 | 2012-10-02 22:19:00 | Factory image may solve the problem if it was software related. But, did you check you are actually shutting down and not putting the thing to sleep instead? For the sake of our brains, please turn your caps lock off! You aren't going to get any extra help by 'shouting' - in fact, it will only serve to drive people away... |

| 1303444 | 2012-10-11 23:09:00 | By default in Windows 7 the "shut-down button" on the start menu is actually a sleep button. This could be the problem Please if that is the case, what can be done to stop it?, because when i select the shut down option it shows ; 'shutting down' simultaneously with the revolving circle icon, like it has been since it was bought. Thank You. |

| 1303445 | 2012-10-11 23:39:00 | OK, if it says "Shutting down" then it's not going into sleep mode. The problem is something else I guess. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1303446 | 2012-10-11 23:44:00 | Its a laptop right? You're not shutting it down, but then closing the lid before it finishes shutting down? As closing the lid is often set to put the laptop to sleep. | Nick G (16709) | ||
