Laptop crashes on battery power
Compaq presario 2105 running XP home SP2 Dlink wireless g DWL-G630.
When running on battery power and I open an application that connects, IE or outlook the laptop freezes. With AC power it runs fine. The battery is fully charged (shows 2 hours left). It has to have something to do with the PCMCIA card or slot, because it works fine, hard wired to router. ??????? |

If your sure that it is the PCMCIA card or the slot, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for each.

Check your bios configuration for AC vs. battery power and see what differences are there if any.

Well, I tried reinstalling PCMCIA, changing to power save "maximum" on the card and also tramsmit power to lowest. Still crashes, but not immediately, I did load a couple of pages.
I was not able to find any settings in the BIOS menu that pertained to power (AC or battery). I had the MB replaced a while back and the company put in a HP board so it's been a little difficult finding what drivers I need and BIOS version etc, because it doesn't match the OEM. I did find another post on another forum (DSLreports board) where someone was having the same problem with the same MB so I have a feeling I'm outta luck  .
