Off the top of my head I'd say:

*don't use standby.
*I assume your using a screen reader, so if so, turn your screen brightness right down. * Adjust your power options to turn off hard drive, display etc after a short time * If your using Vista, turn off all the arrow glass features and set all graphics options to basic. * Don't leave cd's/dvd's in your drive as windows will read them unnecessarily.
*Using headphones instead of the loud speaker may make a slight difference.
* Don't leave unnecessary USB devices plugged in
* If your not bothered about performance you can probably adjust the speed of your processor in the bios menu which will save a little power, but what you save might be lost in extra time of having hte pc on to do things.

Feel free to write me off list.
Does anyone have tips for saving battery power on a laptop? I have a Fujitsu I just picked up recently from the Notebook Shop, a local place in Los Angeles.
