If you go into Fn-F1, there's a Battery Power Mode setting and an External Power Mode setting. Depending on which mode the computer is currently in, one of these will have just one line, the other will have all its options fully listed. To modify the one-liner, highlight it and hit Enter. It's easy to miss because the two switch places if you change from AC to battery or vice versa. > Also is there any harm to leaving it on all the time? I've been leaving mine plugged for weeks on end since December and haven't noticed any degredation in battery life (measured with a stopwatch, not Fn-F2). I did the same thing on my TP750 and killed the battery within a month. -- John H.
