I have absolutely no problems with the batteries, and I've played around with the Power Play options a few times. So I guess you might be the only one with the problem.

Man...I really hope the new battery fixes the issue. I found out that I'll need to actually lug this beast to an from class 2 out of 5 days of the week due to massive amt of notes and I can't have it shutting on and off whenever it feels like it. Worst I can think of is something on the motherboard being faulty like a capacitor but I'm not going to worry about that until I get the new batt....

well, if you only have one battery, and the length of your classes is more than the estimated battery life, I would try to dim the screen as low as possible, use Power Play to set the graphics to minmum,use Standby as much as possible, and also use the one button I don't think I would ever want to press on my m5750...the "FAN" button. Which'll decrease CPU power, therefore decreasing the CPU performance, but therefore increase battery life (I don't think you would need THAT much power for classes though, unless you need to do some 3D Work). I can't test out the m5750 in school or anything because I refuse to bring it to school because I'm still in HS...and I still have 3 years left . And school doesn't even start for me until Sep. 7.

You could always try to get near an outlet and hope no one sees the power brick

Trips i hope the new battery works for you. Shutting off in class while taken notes is the worst that can happen.
I forgot to charge my battery 1 day, taken notes, after 20 mins computer shuts off. O how much fun that upcoming test was!

PS:Make sure its not a sony battery to! Sony batteries = 100 pounds WW2 bombs

I have a feeling its a capacitor on the motherboard but like I said earlier I won't go to that yet until I try the new batt. I wonder if AW would do on-site service for a mobo swap on my laptop i really don't want to send it in...

Well even if you do have to send in your computer, you got a free battery out of it. Hopyfully just somthings wrong with the battery, if not hopefully they can replace your mobo at your house.

OR you could carry a UPS around and have your laptop plugged into it threw the school day

Im very disappointed with those benchmark scores. the 7800s and 7900s in laptops get around 1500-2500 higher in 3dmark06 which is huge! -.- ATI has been failing me these days.

Uhh...yeah...they're also running SLI (mALX or m9700) and running a processor that is "better" suited for games (please don't flame me Intel boys =D). Now if your talking about DESKTOP processors thats a whole different game in my opinion ever since Core2 was released a week or so ago; Conroe beats the shit out of the current FX-62 (i think that's the fastest AMD right now) BTW: BIOS update to 1.15 MIGHT have fixed the random reboots for any of you who had some issues similar to mine and to future readers of this thread. I'll post another update after running on battery with different load levels over the next couple days. As with the PowerPlay issue, I came to the conclusion that the memory timings/latency settings for the particular "Balanced" setting can't be supported and results in that BSOD saying "Memory parity error" (maybe I got a batch with bad RAM chips?)...I'll deal with that later since everything else on the laptop seems to be working now...
