Hello All. I have this laptop and have been very pleased with it since I got it. The only upgrade I did was add an aditional 512mb of ram, which definitly made a big differance in performance.
However, as of 2-3 weeks ago my battery life has gotten progressivly worse, to the point now that I can get maybe 20 minutes of run time if I am unplugged with Max Battery setting!
So, I have been emailing HP's service dept (which is really fast, and overall a good experiance I must say) and after following there steps (most of which I already had done before they told me, like completly discharge and recharge the battery, recalibrate the battery meter, etc) they have decided to do a service repair and are sending me a box to ship the laptop to them. They think it might be some of the power circuity inside the laptop, not the battery itself.
Anyway, before I send this in, should I remove that extra RAM stick I put in? Or do they not care about added RAM (It was not HP brand ram, it was Corsair).
