    For some reason, the battery level has stopped showing up in the system tray when my dv2000t is running on battery power, so theres not an easy way to figure out how much power I have remaining without loading that HP total care thing. Anyone have any ideas on how to get that to start showing up again?

    Right click the task bar and go to properties. Hit Customize on the bottom. Find the battery symbol and hit Always Show. Click OK.
