I didn't get much sleep yesterday, so when I went to work, and my e740 started off the day with a "Extremely Low Battery Warning," I was less than impressed.
I phoned up Toshiba determined to get a new battery from them, as another post somewhere in the forums states that the problem is really a faulty voltage sensor in the battery. However, Toshiba (Canada) wasn't going to give me one that easily. What they did give me, however, was a .cab file that the tech support agent said should cure my devices' ailment. If this doesn't work, I'm supposed to get back to them for another row, but as it is, I installed this .cab and now when I look at the power tab, it briefly says "Analyzing" and then pops up with the % remaining. In the "Remove Programs" list, all it states is "Microsoft Power."
I was wondering if anyone else has used a file like this either from Toshiba or Microsoft. If anyone wants, I can email it to them.
Lemme know what you think!!
