    Hello everyone,

    I have a Envy14 Radiance 1st Gen with Core i5 and Samsung SSD. I had a clean Win7 64bit installation, installed only of the HP drivers and hotkeys software.

    My problem is whatever I do with the Windows Power Management set to Power Saver with processor down to only 5% max, passive cooling and screen brightness down very very low, wifi on and only surfing / word processing. I can only get 3 hours at max.

    Battery Wear is 0.0% base on Battery Bar.

    Is there a HP Software im missing or failling to install? or wrong configuration? =( help please!
