    Hi all.

    I bought my girlfriend and Aspire One while we were in Hong Kong over summer. We are back in the UK now and there is no way we can just bring it back to the supplier.

    The problem is the laptop turns itself off for no reason after only a few minutes of being on. The problem ONLY occurs when it is being powered by battery and NOT by the power supply. The power button light and wireless light remains illuminated but the screen turns off and nothing works. The only way I can get back into the comp is to hold the power button until the lights turn off, and then I can turn the laptop back on.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone knows what to do about it?

    Thanks very much for your help!

    same problem here! :(

    Did the BIOS (or something else) solve it?
