    Hey all... I have a dv8000t, and I absolutely love it. One thing kinda bugs me though. On ac (or battery for that matter), if I don't use the computer for a while, (it goes into standby) my wireless will disconnect and the light will go out. I get disconnected from AIM, i've missed updates, and i have to reconnect my bluetooth mouse. needless to say its a pain. Is there any way to make sure the wireless stays on even if the computer is in standby?

    No. The solution is to fix your Control Panel | Power Options so the system Never automatically goes into standby.

    Standbye Just sends components into shutdown mode while keeping the processer going. There is no way to edit what components go into shutdown mode or the ones that dont.
