    Laptop freezes on battery power

    I have installed Karmic on an old HP laptop. The battery on it was dead, so I purchased a new one. However, if I try to surf the web on battery power, the laptop will completely freeze. I can play games, type papers, or whatever on battery power, and it's fine. But soon after I start Firefox, it locks up. I installed Dillo, and the same problem occurs. This problem does not happen if I am running on AC power.

    I am not sure if this is a code bug, or a hardware problem, and would like someone to help me figure out where to start to solve this.

    I'm having a similar problem with my old HP laptop. Runs fine on AC, but after 5-10 mins running on battery it will just completely lock up and I have to reboot it.

    Ever find a solution?

    No, I never did. I recently installed Linux Mint over the Ubuntu partition, but haven't tried it unplugged. Maybe if I get some time tomorrow I'll try it. Still, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who's lappy acts weird.
