This laptop has been a thorn since the wife bought it on Black Friday
last year.  It has acted like this since day 1.  If the battery drains
all the way down it must be partially charged before it will power on.
I consider that a bug!

I went ahead and bought a 2Y warranty from HP so that I will not have to
buy her another laptop until BF of 2012.

They way she treats this thing I'm sure that bug will finally break it.
