    Last one for today, promise :).

    Powershare enabled in BIOS with a low enough value (10%).

    Though when I plug in my iphone when laptop is OFF, it's not charging. Any clues or other options to activate?

    Something I noticed is that power to the USB device went off when I hibernated the computer. But the USB power came on again when I unplugged and then reconnected the device I was trying to charge. Maybe you didn't discover this undocumented feature. Try it.

    Yeah maybe. But I remember how the iphone 3G was picky about his power source. I tried another device (nano 2G) and it works fine.

    My bad :-/

    Otherwise, to date, I really like this little laptop!
