I cannot completely drain my battery as required by the RECON program because my Vigor laptop keeps going into SUSPEND even though POWER MANAGEMENT in the BIOS is turned OFF.

I have drained the battery manually, external w/power resistors, and put back in my laptop to charge. Appears to charge but after GREEN charge light is on and I pull the plug to test ... it only lasts for about 7 minutes before going into SUSPEND.

I am using W95 Release 2. RECON-N.EXE (27KB).

??? Why does my laptop keep going into SUSPEND even though it is turned OFF in the BIOS ???

??? Does the BIOS/system software need to be updated to know that the battery has been recharged and to run until it dies, w/power management turned off ???

Any other info will be appreciated.

Thanks
Frank
