    I trying to optimize this I turned things on in off in trial & error. I turned everything I thought it could be on again, but it still not charging.

    What's ...EVERYTHING related to the charging feature?


    Also, since I've added programs [games, utilities and browsers] what free utility would be of use still for optimizing this? I still have [for example] WinMail.exe running. Something like Winbubble? .. or something else? [and something that won't mess with the ASUS utilities]

    Just a thought, but with some asus laptops, it's normal it doesn't always charge between 95 and 100%, to extend battery life i think.

    I don't think it's your problem, but it's better to know...

    I noticed that my Asus G1SN has a bios option to calibrate the battery. Maybe that would help.
