Once or twice a month i'll use the battery power only, it lasts about 2 1/2 - 3 hours.Anyway, should i be restarting everyday? disconnecting power? etc etc i'm not sure as i've always thought it's not good to re-start everyday. I'm not having any major problems but as my machine is getting older i thought i should be looking at looking after it properly.cheers</blockquote>
