    Hi there!
    Can you explain z71v strange behavior. When battery is fully charged it constantly trying to charge itself more. Battery LED never goes off. Mobile meter shows that every few minutes it charges something like 0.16W.
    Do you know what that means? DOn't want to use all recharging cycles in one day :eek: Hope you understand what I men.
    Thanks :)

    It means your battery are discharging at a rate faster than it is charging? There have been discussion regarding battery problem.

    ISTNC had sent a few back to Asus for investigation.

    Thank you, guru Smilepak
    I hope this problem is user solvable. I live in Ukraine now, so no warranty support for me :confused:

    I would first try go with the latest bios 0208. I know there was a high pitch noise problem people complain about originally on the battery, which somehow was resolved by it.

    Try to use the undervoltage method. This will lessen the amount of power utilized by the notebook. Thus might assist in the power pack with charging.

    I am not sure of the power currency in Ukraine, so chances are that might be the problem as well. The output of it is not a clean strong output? Just a guess. Try going through a surge protector or one of those power battery backup that cleans the power for you.

    As for battery problem, I don't see it at all with mine. I am using it now after it was fully charged to 100% and the light turns off.

    By the way, if you got more questions, I am over at notebookforums.com more often. I am a MOD for the Asus forum and the Notebook General forum.
