Power consumption & "pcie_aspm=force"

[Fintan]

I am not sure if I want to try this one.

My battery is dying quickly, but some google searches state that this "fix" may not be a good idea because some devices will not react.

This gives some insight:

but no real fix I can figure out.

I'm using it. Not convinced it makes much of a difference on either of my laptops, but since it appears not to break anything, I'm leaving it in.

Okay, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks
