Fiancee's M105-S3041, great laptop but the battery doesn't show remaining time, only percentage...

Any idea how to get it to show remaining time?

Remaining time depends on what you are doing. I wouldn't have thought it would be very accurate. I guess it could estimate based on the average usage or something. Not very helpful information, sorry, just a comment.

Edit: Some info in this discussion that may be helpful.

Ah, seems from Enig101 link it depends on if the manufacture implemented in the BIOS or not.

I had posted the same thing as you aphex some time ago here in the forums and never got a reply. :( My Dell Inspiron 6000 has that feature but my folks does not but wanted to get it enabled, guess I won't be able to do that at all.
