I have had my e740 for a few months now and I like it very much. I have recently begun having a situation where the battery discharges completely over the course of a day of non-use. My normal mode of operation is to use the e740 extensively during the week and I keep it well charged throughout the workday. Overnight I use it intermittenly but never get below 50% charge.
On three occaisions in the past month the e740 has sat for a day (maybe two) over a long weekend without use. When I try to use it it is nonresponsive. Plugging it into the charger shows 1% battery charge and it's memory is clean (I get the welcome wizard) when I turn it on.
Does anyone else experience this? Could an alarm LED drain the battery this quickly if it isn't acknowledged? The "Flash Light for x minutes" is set for ten minutes, but I have noticed that the LED sometimes seems to flash until I acknowledge the notification. Is this a known issue? It would be nice to hear others' experiences before I start chasing this thing down.
