    Hello

    I have couple of problems with my laptop for now. When I was on Windows 7 with old bios everything was cool, but then i updated my bios while my battery was on 70% and upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and since then my laptop is waking up from sleep after minute i close my lid, my battery go from 35% to 12%, so not 35-34-33, it goes straight to 12%.

    Should i reflash bios when my battery is at 100% and what to do with sleeping problems? I tried everything, tried dos commands to see what's causing waking up but i saw nothing, it was 0 device causing waking up of laptop..

    That's not major problem, mayor problem is my battery life, its cut for 1/4 after flashnig and in Windows 8! How can I fix it?

    Laptop is practically new, bought in october 2012, and battery worked excellent without any problem at all.

    Thank you

    Full laptop name: Sony Vaio VPCSA45GX/BI
