    Hi,

    Is anyone else noticing high battery drain of their Zenbook when it is turned off (shutdown and not suspended)? I don't use my Zenbook all that often and I've noticed it looses ~3% of battery power each day without any usage. This seems much higher than my other laptops. Anyone else having this issue?

    Jesper64 - I have this same problem and its extremely annoying. Let me know if you've discovered a fix.

    I took it to the service centre and they replaced both the motherboard and battery. Unfortunately, the replacement parts exhibit the same problem and if anything it's a little worse. I'm not sure if that's just how it is with the particular batteries Asus are using. I didn't have enough time to get them to have a look at it again (as I was moving interstate) so I'm going to use it for a while and try again later.
