-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I can help with this! laptop batteries die REALLY quickly if you overcharge them for a long = time, so, that probably explains why the battery dies after 20 minutes, = no idea why acpi isn't being updated with the battery status, however. what chipset does your sound/wireless use? Not the connection, we know = it's pcmcia, but what chipset? If you don't know, then just list the = brand names. - - Michael Brindle On Apr 27, 2011, at 6:17 PM, Anton Shterenlikht wrote: > I'm new to this list, please don't shoot. >=20 > My problem: full battery lasts only minutes. >=20 > This is HP Compaq 6712s (amd64) > running 9.0-CURRENT #5 r220040 >=20 > There seem to be quite a few issues with > this laptop, which I never had the time > to analyse properly.
