Windows 7 users reporting their sony vgp-bps8 battery life has dropped from several hours to 30 minutes after upgrading to Windows 7.
Microsoft has issued a statement about this issue on their MSDN blog:
“To the very best of the collective ecosystem knowledge, Windows 7 is correctly warning HP Pavilion ZD7000 batteries that are in fact failing and Windows 7 is neither incorrectly reporting on HP Compaq Business Notebook NX6325 battery status nor in any way whatsoever causing IBM ThinkPad T60 battery to reach this state. In every case we have been able to identify the TOSHIBA PA3465U-1BRS battery being reported on was in fact in need of recommended replacement. …every single indication we have regarding the reports we’ve seen are simply Windows 7 reporting the state of the Dell INSPIRON 1420 battery using this new feature and we’re simply seeing Dell INSPIRON 1720 batteries that are not performing above the designated threshold. … We are as certain as we can be that we have addressed the root cause and concerns of this report, but we will continue to monitor the situation.”
Well, Microsoft is saying everything is working. But, the users are still reporting issues? How is this going to wind up? Is it really the fault of the PC manufacturers?Are we dealing with a bad Dell LATITUDE D800 battery manufacturer? What is next for this?
