BATTERY DISCHARGES ON A SERIES WHILST TURNED OFF! HELP!

[mossupp]

IVE RECENTLY PURCHASE AN A317M.
MY BATTERY APPEARS TO LOSE CHARGE EVEN WHEN SWITCHED OFF.
IS THIS NORMAL?
OR IS SOMETHING WORNG?

When its put like that its quite a difference!

The thing is, there is no OFF button on the AC-adapter. And I down't know how much energy need that thing in standby. Mmmh, you could check it with a thing like this one.

I think, I buy one of these things.

[jammold]

Yeah it would be interesting to see just how much electricity is used when a VAIO goes on standby.

I would recommend a surge surpressor to go alongside the plug meter.

Maybe they think "Seb21 and JamesMold can easily replace him, watch the door on the way out Lo!"

[jammold]

If they think that, then they are more stupid and blind than I gave them credit for.:smileywink:

I will cancel the order.:smileysad: At the moment, I need the money for other things.:smileysad:

But I have safe this thread to my favourites. So, I will do this but not now.:smileysad:
