    Hi, getting really frustrated with this so all help welcome.

    After I shut down the laptop, the power/wifi/hdd lights turn off. Then after 5-10 seconds, the blue charge light at the front comes on. When the power button is pressed the system goes through the normal startup and the blue light turns off. When the laptop is off there are no other lights or noises so I am certain the laptop has fully shutdown and is not sleeping or hibernating. However when I do put the laptop in sleep mode the blue light does not come on (i assume this correct. During the use of the laptop, the light is off. Its works normally when the power is connected e.g. orange when charging and blue when charged. If I take the battery out and connect to mains and shut down the blue light does not come on after shut down even though it is connect to the mains. The battery life is fine and i get 8 hours. when i leave the laptop off and the light is on, it only uses 10% every 24 hours of the power so the battery isnt losing charge quickly. What annoys me is taking the battery out every night so the light isnt on all the time.
    Thanks in advance
