    I have discovered something quite interesting and weird about the PowerShare function of the notebook.
    When the computer is on and running, the PS USB port outputs only 500mA and this barely charges the device.
    But when I put the computer to sleep, shut it down or hibernate it, it outputs 1000mA through the same port (after plugging the device again, of course).
    The question is - is there any way to make the computer output 1000mA through the same USB port while it's awake?
    Thank you :)
