found this in another forum, works perfect."To disable it right-click on the parental control icon in the lower right task bar and click "Free of Control Mode" (you may have to click the expand arrow to see all the programs). Also, if you haven't ever opened parental control, you may or may not have to create a password first, but then everything should work fine."

No parental controls on mine. Only new window, bookmarks, windows, refresh, forward and more. It is not under more / settings either. :(

I have the same exact issue. I have the recharbale battery pack, and i watch him playing with it, I guess you cant turn it off, similar to an iPad, however my two year old loves turing it on and off and waving goodbye to it.

Sorry, it depende on which country. No idea about US. In EU it is 2 years.But my concern, blocked access to extended BIOS and vt-x off, is not a "defect" but a feature according to ACER.

Sorry but I dont have the answer to this one. I never thought about turning it off.

It says 94% available but there is zero battery life. Computer shuts down immediately if not connected to electrical outlet

No to both questions. The battery is internal, and the screen does not support touch. When unplugged, for basic browsing and office functions I get about 3-4 hours before I need to plug it in again. Also, I'm not a fan of touch screens, which is why I went with this laptop, I have it running windows 7 which I had to purchase.

Parental controls are usually part of your internet server. There are good app locks on the play store, which I use to keep my settings locked.

Turn it off by pressing the power/band button for about 2 seconds. I don't think this is mentioned in the instructions.

I just checked the manual, and I don't think you can disable it completely. You can set it either 1, 2, or 3 hours, but I don't think you can get rid of it altogether. Hope that helps!

Marissa - How do you turn it off?I started using mine mid September 2007, and now (Feb 3, 2008), after logging about 200 miles, it's already died! It might be because I've never turned it off, because I don't know how... I just got a new one, and I wnt to try to preserve the battery life on it. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off? Thanks!

You got it! Can't turn the @#$% thing off once it is connected. Have to shutdown the computer and then unplug it. I plug it in and do a weekly backup, then shutdown and unplug it. A pain, I'd rather just reboot before my backup then eject the thing.

Sorry, I've never really timed it. I know it is at least 4 hours, and maybe it is more. But the last computer I used had had a bad battery for so many years, that I had almost forgotten I could ever use a computer that was not plugged in. Not that it matters, but I purposely ordered this computer with Windows 7 because I did not want to use Windows 8 on a computer that was not touch screen. I have had the computer for about a month and haven't had any problems so far, unlike the person who wrote the previous comment.

Have a similar problem-battery says charging but us always 0% and I can not unplug without it turning off. Called Asus-surprise they only warrenty the battery for 6 months. Very frustrating.

i get about 6 hours on basic day to day things, like internet and word document. but i keep the backlit keyboard turned of, the screen brightness on low, and i keep it on powersave mode. on the first day that i got it, i was curious how long it would last if i did absolutely nothing, just letting the computer idle. (screen turned of as well). i got over 9 hours.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.
