Couple of things to consider - 1) Try resetting the Power options to "Always ON" to kill it from consideraton. 2) Does WinXP start shutting down, or does it just immediately power-off? If the latter, (immediate power-off),...

Congrats, nice setup! You will probably not find anything close to resembling what you can do with a desktop (ahh, especially an Abit motherboard!) to get raw CPU. Your notebook (bios, cpu, h/w, ...) is highly tweaked to use only the...

Just an educated guess here based on my DV1000, but there is no direct way to manipulate the screen dimming settings. I did, however, manually set it brighter (while on battery) and it seems to have stuck. This was with the Fn-F7...

Yes, it is possible that a dead battery could stop you from starting, even with a docking station. If taking the battery out, and plugging it in alows it to start then that's the case. Not likely this will happen. but worth a try if...

I have a risky suggestion for you, since I'm going from memory of months ago. I did some boot tracing to find the slowdown and tracked it to a Symantc service. I ended up rebuilding the machine anyway and getting a newer version of...
