Hi.
A friend of mine bought a HP Pavilion ze4600 laptop. She said it used to be
fast; now it's slower than ever. She told me she used to leave her laptop on
with the power supply instead of running it with the battery. After one year
she changed the battery and now she manages to run on battery whenever
possible.
I've looked at Windows System properties and I saw CPU runs at about 510 MHz
instead of 1.8 GHz (or alike). I've found nothing in the BIOS that would
allow me to set the nominal rate. I didn't find any utility on the laptop
either. Does anyone know if it's possible to restore the CPU frequency to
its nominal value? Has there been an overheating problem?
Thanks in advance,
Vince C.
