Re: Laptop powers off during standby?!

I set windows scheduler to wake up at 8am every morning, then put the

But many mornings I find the computer is completely powered off. As if
there had been a power cut during the night which had wiped out
standby mode. (My laptop doesn't currently have a battery in) When I
turn the computer on, it just boots Windows from scratch, no
recollection of the previous session...

It's really annoying as its a basic function that should work!

PLease - any suggestions? (try a different power pack? try an
alternative to windows scheduler?)

My first thought would be to put a battery in it to deal with
potential power glitches. If you can't afford a battery, get an alarm
clock. :)
