| 577850 | 2007-08-07 21:10:00 | My laptop seems to have problems hibernating lately. I was under the assumption that hibernation mode just saves the current state of the computer then shutsdown and no power/battery is used. Well lately i've put my computer into hibernation mode, only to come back a few hours to find that when it comes out of hibernation mode it only has 5-6% battery left. Can anyone assist me with this issue? |

| 577854 | 2007-08-08 11:43:00 | Not sure. My battery is pretty dead I suppose. I've had this laptop for almost a year now. Just that I'll go into hibernation mode at 99%, come back a 5-6 hours later turn it on and i'm using it for 2 minutes till boom it's at 5-6% and it's giving me the warning message and saying its' going back into Hibernation mode. --- Something that caught my attentino. My computer says it needs 1200mb to go into Hibernation mode. Well I only had about 800mb remaining on my HDD. I wonder if that had anything to do abuot it. But I watched it go into hibernation mode, not standby. |
