Has anyone come across this one and, if so, how did you 'fix' it please?
Driving me to distraction.
XP Home on a Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO D laptop.
Shutting down windows using approved method exits windows properly but does NOT 'disconnect' from the battery i.e. the battery indicator remains active and, over about 1.5 days, battery is fully discharged.

Didn't used to do this.

I've tried all the various settings on power management and none fix the problem.
I now can't work out whether its a windows issue or a laptop hardware issue.
Needless to say, the laptop is way out of warranty so F*S* are not really any help at all.
