Dell Inspiron 6400 / e1505 big problem with switching to battery, please help!

Hello,

I have had this e1505 since June, and everything was fine, but todaay I was going to take it with me to another room, and pulled out the power cord like usual, and it didnt even though I saw it switch to battery a second later the screen turned off and the whole thing froze. I had to hold power button to turn it off, and pluging power cable back in didnt help.

I restarted, tried again and it did the same thing. I'm running windows xp sp2, and it does it in windows, during the bootup if power goes out everything is fine, but in windows it just stops like that and screen goes black.

Any ideas? Please help!

ok, I seem to have located the problem, its the newest omega drivers, 38.291 that were causing the screen to go black and the whole machine freeze when switching to battery in windos. I rolled back to 38.252, and it works fine now.

hey, i got a question since you're using the omega drivers; does your screen go off when you close your lid?

when i close the lid my laptop goes in standby mode.

you can change the way it behaves when closing the lid in power options, you can set it to do nothing , then when you close the lid the screeen will turn off after the time has passed that u set for you monitor to be turned off after.
