NOTE: This does not mean non-ACPI controls are not used!

It's dead. Or just isn't getting charged (though leaving it fully discharged for long will kill it in the end anyway). One of my Thinkpad T23s has a broken charging circuit, not unknown on that model; it runs on AC but a) won't charge any battery and b) dies on loss of AC power, even with a charged battery .. perhaps similar to what's happened to this one? > > Remaining time: unknown > > Present rate: 0 mA (0 mW) > > It's not discharging.

Matt, you could maybe try this battery in another laptop if you have access to one, or an external charger, ie the battery may still be at least partially ok and only the charge circuit is broken (bummer!) or OTOH the battery may be so stuffed that the charge circuit refuses to try to charge it, but isn't broken as such - so a new battery may help. > > There are several ACPI variables I don't recognize or am simply not > > familiar with, but this will give you some idea what many of > > the important ones are.

I'd have agreed with this before ~10 weeks ago, when my son bought me a Thinkpad X200 from an auction site out of the blue - without battery or charger, and with a dodgy serial number. I took the punt - thanks to encouragement by Lars - and bought it a new one of each, and it's a very sweet little machine. 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo which also runs extraordinarily cool. Right now, idling, ambient temp. 26C after a warm autumn day: smithi@x200:~ % x200stat Tue Apr 22 18:03:22 EST 2014 dev.cpu.0.freq: 200 0.00% 0.49% 99.50% last 617us 0.00% 0.45% 99.54% last 524us dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed: 3393 dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level: 0 dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal: 38 41 -1 38 32 -1 30 -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 38.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 34.0C State: high Remaining capacity: 97% Remaining time: unknown Present rate: 0 mW Present voltage: 12448 mV And now after about 6 minutes running dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null on each core, I can only manage to drive it up to: Tue Apr 22 18:11:28 EST 2014 dev.cpu.0.freq: 2401 0.00% 0.50% 99.49% last 7us 0.01% 0.56% 99.42% last 2us dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed: 3376 dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level: 0 dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal: 64 41 -1 57 32 -1 30 -1 hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 64.0C hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 65.0C State: high Remaining capacity: 97% Remaining time: unknown Present rate: 0 mW Present voltage: 12448 mV smithi@x200:~ % 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10485760000 bytes transferred in 328.271913 secs (31942300 bytes/sec) 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10485760000 bytes transferred in 328.040868 secs (31964798 bytes/sec) I recall seeing it get to almost 70C on one 33C day, but that's it. And fortunately it does switch from X to VTs and back without issue on 9.2, so it must have "old-enough" graphics, for which I'm thankful. cheers, Ian
