Question for P300 Owners running Win7 x64

Hello I been 2 big issues with windows 7 x64 on my p300.

1. Graphic drivers - problem when I disconnect my p300 from the ac adapter it takes few mins until complete crash of my laptop. So if you are using version of graphic card that will hold the battery a little please note it here.

2. Ethernet lan drivers - problem with my linksys router that dropping my connection when using skype. So if you familiar with this problem please share solution or driver that fix that issue.

Thank you.

EDIT:

On windows vista no drop outs.

 

I dont understand no one running win7 x64 to help me out with my battery problems

 

The Windows 7 Battery issue isn't unique to your situation. In fact it's very common. Microsoft know about it, but are blaming you, yes you the user for having a crappy battery. This is ridiculous as using Vista peoples batteries were lasting hours. It get's even worse. Upon replacing the battery, the new battery also becomes worse and eventually destroyed.

There is a bug in Windows 7 that will annihilate batteries. Not all laptops do this, but enough do. There is no class action lawsuit against Microsoft at this point, but I have no doubts there will be one eventually.

From the investigations users have done, it appears to be at fault with the ACPI drivers in Windows 7. They incorrectly identify what battery you have, and either are charging it incorrectly, or over charging it, or not charging it at all. The effect is that one guy bought a new battery to prove to Microsoft it was a serious issue, and it lasted 3 days I believe.

There is an ongoing thread of "discussion" rather just denial if you ask me here on Microsofts TechNet forums. I suggest you read the entire thread to understand just what others are experiencing.
Windows 7 and the battery error "consider replacing your battery" (Part 10) This thread has been going on for more than a year... so don't hold you breath of anything actually happening

I would suggest not buying a new battery. Rather take it out of your laptop so Windows 7 will not damage it any further. But it's probably already destroyed. Though if you know a little thing about batteries, there are ways to get some life back into it, but never plug it back into your laptop if you are still using Win 7 in it's present state. We can only hope a SP1 or update will fix this issue, but most likely the only way anything serious will happen is when a lawsuit kicks in.

Another thing to add, this link A warning message is displayed immediately after you upgrade to Windows 7 on certain LG notebooks: "Consider replacing your battery" shows 3 bios updates for LG laptops. Your P300 is one of them, listing a F20 version of the bios. Oddly, no one can find F20 anywhere on the net. The only version that is available is F19. So maybe F20 will make it's appearance one day, fingers crossed.

One of Microsoft's official lines or statements is that you will need to get a bios update for your laptop, as it's your fault for having a crappy battery and also the manufacturers fault for making a crappy laptop. Rather what appears is happening is the laptop manufacturers are updating and modifying the bios to prevent Windows 7 from destroying your battery. So it's not that they are fixing something, rather they are trying to safeguard you in the lack of Microsoft addressing the core issue.

Good luck and keep us all updated on how you go.
