    Hi!

    I noticed the palmrest over the WLAN gets a lot hotter when I'm plugged in than when I'm on battery, so I figured is works in a lower power state when on battery. I would like to have the same low temp when Im hooked up as I have when on battery (connection is fine in both cases). However, I cant find any setting in the device manager. Is there perhaps a third part app I could use to throttle the power?

    Cheers!

    It used to be in the device manager. It was a generalized command in that it was not connection sensitive as far as power output was concerned.

    Many thanks for the replies, they were most helpful! I'm on XP but will migrate tp Win7 soon, so I'll have good use for the tips. :)
