    Does anyone know when exactly the lights on the back left and right of the laptop are supposed to turn amber? Says in the manual that at low it should go solid amber and at critically low it will go flashing amber, but mine seems to go straight to flashing amber. Any ideas?

    I think it depends what you have the battery warnings set as in your power plan, you have to go to the advaced tab though, where you can change the hardware settings and things

    Did you ever get this working? Mine always seems to go straight to flashing amber as well.
