Vista no-warning hibernation (power options)
Hello,
Context: Lenovo Y410 laptop, Vista Home Premium. Problem: at low battery level (10% currently), system hibernates without warning. I have set low battery action = do nothing (had been set to hibernate by Lenovo); low batt notification On (was On, turned Off, OK, turned back On, OK). Critical batt level = 7%; action = hibernate. Am I overlooking a setting? Is this [unlikely] a known defect in Vista? Is it possibly a hardware / driver defect (in which case Lenovo might answer my question - they refuse to supply no-charge support for OEM Vista). I do realize this is an annoyance but I sure wish this 2-month old laptop worked as it should. Thanks for any help or pointers, Fred Ehrhardt

Try seeing the limits to 20% and 5% and see if the notification occurs as expected -- If so, tweak to see how low the 20% warning can go. I've never had any luck setting both thresholds at 10% or below, and was anecdotally told this is due to the fact that many laptops will power off unexpectedly before ever hitting 5%
