    My DV5-1155ee does not show how many minutes are left of battery power. It only shows teh percentage l3ft.

    This happens on all OS'es, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 :(

    Any solution to this?

    All HP laptos built after 2007 does not show battery life. It is built into the bios.

    Well what's wrong with having a percentage? anyway the estimated time left is super inaccurate so not having it isn't a disaster. BTW all estimates are always inaccurate!!! :) :) :)
