[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ah. Yeah, I asked on the MSI forums about my recent battery issues and the battery on my comp is inaccessible to the user for warranty reasons I suppose. It was the first time I heard that calibration was a thing, so I used the tool once. Apparently the computer is designed to have a staggering charge pattern and warns me at 20% battery life so I don't think I've ever run it total dead.

My issue is that the light is now blinking amber on a full charge, but it's not always doing that. The other day, while playing a mild game, the comp flat out shut down after about 15 minutes, with no low battery warning. I've accidentally played Guild Wars without having been plugged in (I have my comp plugged into a power bar and just turn the bar off each night rather than constantly pulling plugs) and it runs for longer than that before it would surprised shut down. (I think I've done that twice).

My old Compaq Presario battery I just flat out cooked.

I've decided to run two comps now, setting up games on my new one and doing my class work and net crud on this one until the other is set up. Give myself some time to make sure I've got what I want before this goes to it's new home. I thought if I should do a factory reset or wipe this thing, but it's only going to my sister and I wasn't sure what the reset would do regarding the updated Windows 10. It's been working well for me with the automatics updates my brother (not sure which) set up. It might be best not to mess with it.
