Hi Ruby

you can donwload it from here http://kb.sony-europe.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=62,E=0000000000002265784,K=3087,Sxi=4,Proble...)

Can you tell me how long is your battery functioning because i just bought a brand new battery and it stays on max 1.50 so thats not much but its said that the battery has to last 3.30 hours

I am struggling to even get 1.5 hours from my battery, and on my old laptop i was easily getting 3 hours. Was thinking of taking it back, but sounds like this is normal then?

Manuals are at ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Manuals/Notebooks/GRT/GRT900/GRT900_H_EN.pdf and ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Manuals/Notebooks/GRT/GRT900/GRT900_S_EN.pdf

Battery life of 1.5 hours is about right for this model.

but i had here first the pcg fr215s pcg fr415s and these models use the same batteries and they lasted 3.30 hours how come it doesnt work so long for this model pcg grt915m i thought the battery was not working well but i have to hear from roger how it is with the sony vaio of him

It's mainly because of the very high power consumption of the processor.

I dont think so i have 3 batteries her now all the 3 are new batteries 1 is just not working well its goed ontly for 1.40 hour and the other 2 goes 3.30 hour and if you check the spec off the pcg fr 415 s and the pcd grt 915 m are almost the same processors

I wasn't referring to the battery life on your computer - I was referring to the GRT.

By the way - my download links for the manuals are OK - I've tested them. The manuals are listed at www.vaio-link.com
