    As per the title, powerplay doesn't work on my Toshiba A200-TH7. Using both Toshiba and ATI drivers (ATI - modded with mobility modder) it fails to reduce clock/voltage/etc. on battery power. Anyone know a fix to this?

    Yeah, I checked and it was enabled and set to max battery on battery. Now I'm trying the 7.8's to see if that makes a difference. Also, there are no actual laptop drivers for the hd 2600 so I have to mod them using the mobility modder, so I'm not sure whether that's where the problem comes in or not.

    nah that shouldn't be a problem. if it doesn't make a difference go on the toshiba website and see if there is any driver downloads available.

    I was using the most recent driver (came installed on the system originally) and that didn't work either. Gonna try booting with it set to max battery on AC to see if it's just a glitch or something.
