Thunderbolt draining power?!
Hello all -
This is both and FYI and to see if anybody else has come across this:
In Windows 7 64bit Ultimate (via Bootcamp of course) .... On my 15" MBP-RD, when I plug in a Thunderbolt peripheral, it seems to be draining the power from the battery ... even though I have the magsafe plug, plugged into the computer (with the green light on too). When I mouse over the power indicator icon on the bottom right and it states that it's at 97% and not charging. Hasn't gone below 97% so far and that's with about 6 hours of continuous use.
When I unplug the Thunderbolt peripheral, it states it's at 97% and charging, the magsafe plug turns orange and then a few minutes later, the indicator shows Fully Charged 100%.
On the Mac OS X side, it's fine; it stays at 100% (like it should with the magsafe plugged in) ... even with (2) Thunderbolt peripherals plugged in and utilzed concurrently.
Please feel free to chime in if you have run across this issue ... and maybe have a resolution that I've yet to figure out.
Thanks!!
