My last Lenovo laptop had a setting in the BIOS for exactly that. Worked great for hotel rooms (which notoriously have very few power plugs) when I wanted to charge my cell phone and other devices over night. No clue about other vendors.

Yes you heard right: I don't want to boot an operating system I only want to charge my battery of my mobile phone. No fan should be powered on. I only need voltage on the USB ports. Any suggestions? ;) best regards, FliTTi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJL9bR2AAoJEIZn8Rym6s4A1TgH+gNSd8TRW34dvzgS03uTHKvi iZ3f+nciMeaJSN7Pq9Eugi3pgGvljKArcCiEmlV95BIP1i6hJiDuO7sOp/xx4yeO n8/iW6FyPBv5pqjuyhuTjs4GuG7ar4lM6/y4sYPT++bf5fWfwxjonYnmZakw2IVa 3fdsHeOIoyD45lirthSXXmynl/UO4ajYEwI+dqs2vpYcUYTgBW4WhQ1zMnVKJasn PtpuMx1M3a3xF3rFZ6PZ2KmtVRQhjpgaU1TYZO2jcABoKS9e7s2j5zFR+0nhIqzK hq2mQWGlA49Lgt+P21jsaJ8YZxD4AvZFnDXg3flR/FFTVIfVcWoQELvnWwv9iqs= =k+ae -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
