but my one is just ask me resuming windows...
ur one only happen when u on the windows and suddenly put out AC or battery...

sure it will harmful n corrupt ur data..

I noticed Win7 hibernation and resume function having bugs in it. XP does not have this resume bugs. Vista resume is slow but if not mistaken, does not have Win7 resume bugs.

I have tested on diff notebooks / netbooks..all having problem resuming windows back to working condition. After resume back, it does not restore back original desktop setting and the whole system become slows. Even on high end notebook like A42Ja with 6GB RAM.

One thing I notice too. Recent years notebook (HP and Asus that I'm using) does not keep on charging battery. Once the battery is full, it will stop charging. It will start charing once the battery level drop below 95%.

I have an old HP notebook, DV5000 series. After 4 years, battery still can last 1 hour if not mistaken (need to test it out again to confirm). I never take out the battery and the AC adaptor always connect to the notebook.

The question is the battery quality..how good/long it can holding the power before drop below 95%.

ok, noted (btw, high end notebook for me (i7 CPU) as my low end notebook (umpc) is pentium mobile CPU)

btw, can you do the following hibernation / resume test?

once the notebook go into hebernation, do not resume immediately. Resume after two days. Let me know if it will resume back and work properly or not. Normally, resume immediately after hibernation does not have problem. It is resume after one or two days hibernation then it give problem. XP does not have such issue as I have one system with dual boot: XP and Win7 and the same programs installed. Btw, i have wireless USB mouse connected to the notebook during hibernation/resume.

hibernation doesn't need battery....

Hmm, people hibernate because they don't want to use the stand by feature or don't have battery to keep the laptop on using the standby mode.

Have anyone here have tried to hibernate when a game like crysis is paused?

my dell drop until 85% only it will charge..   maybe different brand come with different setting?

welcome..may be this only happen in big size n heavy game

i can almost confirm tht it will spoil ur batt..

my bro's dell batt cannot charge anymore after 2 years of leaving d batt in d laptop charging all the time

my compaq batt is still working fine after 3 years+ although d batt life nt as strong edi..i took out my batt when i m nt using it..

while your observation is true, i think it is the heat that kill the battery. most new notebook stop charging after it reached 100%. my notebook will not charge if i just use a few % of battery. in battery status i can see "97% not charging" even if i plug in.

Thanks for sharing this information. If we standby these problem won't happen right?
For battery, i always take out. So far, my Acer laptop battery works just fine. But my compaq laptop's battery spoiled already.

It really depend on your luck and your action as well. Sometimes, you won't be able to do anything if you are really unlucky.

Even power adapter The Alienware  Power supply is the same OEM as my Acer power supply haha..

(according to those articles) it is true that after a large number of cycle of charges, the capacity will drop BUT a complete cycle is not count as how often u charge... say, u have 80% left, charge back to 100%, and do that 5 times, u only complete 1 charge cycle.

at least that is how i understand it... and i do practice that...
