Hi Dep, Please try Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Laptop Battery / Start Battery Monitor. If the last step doesn't do anything try clicking on the other tabs and they may tell you that your kernel is missing some ACPI options. A lot of this functionality has moved from /proc/acpi to /sys and this application may not yet be updated. In related news I suspect that although it starts TDEPowerSave it is no longer actually controlling much. --Mike
