I still have another one in the box, unopened. I probably won't get to
it until next week, but I'll let you know what I find.

Hopefully you're not affected ("only on some models […] mostly in

That's a nice way to introduce a product. With a virus! But Linux to the

anything.
Oh, and after testing the power consumption I wandered away and left it

Hadn't killed the battery.
