I just realized my laptop charges my phone even when

[ericberry14]

The laptop is off... Fuckin :rock

I had never even tried until tonight. I used to put it to sleep and close it sometimes when my phone was low but tonight I said what the hell why by try it. And it worked. :shocker

:failtroll You don't even need to try that to figure out it's a lie. Keep in mind off, hibernate, and sleep are different power states.

If the computer using AC or laptop battery power, the computer is not off.

the computer is off. Shut down. Plugged in. (when I made the discovery... its on right now. posting from it)


its either a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. Was surprised myself. But it works.

through the USB port asshole. just stop. you were wrong... its ok. It happens to all of us :lol:

If the computer is using AC power or the laptop battery, it's not off, you dumbass. The OS doesn't have to be running for a computer to be not off.

ok listen dipshit... When i go to the start menu and select shut down... and then shut down my computer. It is Off. I do not have to shut it down unplug it and remove the battery for it to be off.

My computer was off and I was charging my battery through it, you dumbass.


jesus fucking :facepalm

ok listen dipshit... When you take out your OS drive (HD or SSD) and you TURN ON your computer, the OS isn't running because there is no OS (only BIOS). Your computer is still TURNED ON, you dumbass. How do you think restart works?

Dumbfuck. Your computer was on even if your OS wasn't.

No. It. Wasn't.

But since shutting down my computer is NOT turning it off... How would one go about turning off their computer? :lol: you fucking moron

Standby power: you may have seen a "5v SB" or "5v standby" connector labeled in power supply pinouts. The standby power supply is a 5v line to your motherboard that is always on, even when the computer is turned off. This is why it is important to unplug or turn off a PSU hard switch (if present) when servicing modern computers, because even when it's off you could potentially short the 5v SB and damage the motherboard. This is also why CMOS batteries aren't really as important anymore - the 5v SB is used to replace the CMOS battery whenever the power supply has mains power, so the CMOS battery is only used when you unplug the computer entirely. The 5v SB line importantly allows components of your computer (most importantly the BIOS and the network adapters) to keep running some simple software even when the computer is turned off.


from your link... idiot.. THE COMPUTER IS OFF. LOL

It's talking about SOFT power, you retard. SOFT OFF IS NOT OFF. IF THERE IS NO POWER RUNNING THROUGH THE COMPUTER IT CANNOT CHARGE ANYTHING. IF THERE IS POWER RUNNING THROUGH THE COMPUTER IT IS NOT OFF.

Dude... you are fucking stupid.

You are saying I have to remove my battery and unplug it from the wall to turn off my computer. That is not true. When I shut it down. Its off. And it charges my phone because it is still plugged in. :) fucking idiot

It's not off, dude. Just because you can't use it as more than a paperweight or phone charger until you press a specific button doesn't mean it's off.

Ok.. tell me how to turn off my computer that doesnt involve taking out the battery or unplugging it.

Letting the battery die completely without plugging it in.
