Hi folks,

I had this problem on my new Toshiba NB200-10G; BIOS v1.2; Ubuntu 9.10
NBR (dual booted with XP)

When I disabled Sleep&Charge from BIOS Setup, the setting would always
revert to enabled.

I then found a tip on an OpenSolaris thread which recommended using the
Toshiba Sleep&Charge utility from within XP.  This utility appears to
control Sleep&Charge for both mains and battery situations, ie more
elaborate that BIOS setup options.  So I disabled Sleep&Charge using the
Toshiba utility and my battery drain problem is now solved.

Unfortunately there seems to be no Linux version of the Toshiba utility.

I hope my experience may help someone else.
