    Get NHC 1.10b2 at http://www.pbus-167.com/chc.htm. It adds many more controls to your notebook to extend battery life and display remaining battery both in time and %.

    This has been a long time puzzle and I doubt if you can find any answer.

    well thank you :) that program does show battery remaining but only after 10 minutes will it show otherwise it just goes 98% remaining or something...

    with that program ive also underclocked my celeron m to 600mhz.... Speedstep pffft who needs it, would still need to undervolt at that speed to get near same benifit of pentium m But the fact is celerons lot better then u think... :DOD;osd;sofdod;sfo ty again,



    how would i flash my bios to see if this fixes the problem?

    generally HP's notebooks do not show battery time remaining. Known bug

    It takes time to estimate the energy consumption before it shows the estimated time. With undervolting, I am geting 5hour28min with a full 12-cell battery in my DV4000 with Pentium M 1.86GHz and x700 GPU. Of course, that number will be significantly decreased if I am watching DVD.

    I would say this is still a puzzle. Some said it does. The same for the volume level display on screen. It is not consistent even with the same model series.
