Question Battery blinking even without a battery inside my laptop In fact, I set almost everything to hibernate as opposed to sleep. I did go into the control panel and I activated the hibernate setting, which wasn't in my list of shut-down options. I wouldn't trust myself to uncheck anything, even with looking it up. Thank you so much! I am going to take it to the local store where I purchased it, and I will show them this message. Wow.this is an incredibly robust and thorough message.
Go through the list and make sure that all options are set to do what you want, and to use less power, when sleeping.
Click on "Change plan settings" next to whatever plan you are using and then on the next screen click "Change advanced power settings". Go into "Control Panel" and then "Power Options". Lastly, you may want to check the power settings for when sleeping. If the display stays on (which can happen) then it will drain the battery faster. Once you have done what you want and put the laptop to sleep again, see how long the battery lasts.Īlso, make sure the display is turning off when you put it to sleep and close it. Once you have unchecked what you want/can, then reboot. Doing so could cause you way more problems. Do not uncheck anything there that you don't know what it is before doing some research online. Next click on the "Startup" tab and see what is listed as running. You need to go to "Start" and then in the search box type "msconfig" (without the quote marks). You would be surprised what could be running the background.
