Laptop power problem

Postby e4foxtrot » Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:15 pm

I've just installed 7.1 and my laptop keeps switching back in forth between A/C power and battery, even though I'm plugged into my A/C power jack. :cry:

Well I know how to copy and paste my system specs in windows, but I'm not sure how to do it in Linux. Is there a way to do it from the terminal window? :?:

NICE lappy! Makes mine look like a rock tablet & chisel. :mrgreen:

Just a thought...
have you tried disabling ACPI in bios?
(Sometimes the onboard ACPI and the software power management fight for control)

Thanks Lead, This is my first laptop, which accounted to 6 months of research to find a laptop that I could personalize w/ components of my choice. Not alot of vendors out there that let you build them from the ground up. Anyone looking for a place that will sell you a laptop chassis should check out http://www.rkcomputer.net

Have you tried removing acpid & apmd via System>>Administration>>Services- These are power management daemons, necessary for a laptop to conserve power.Disable both of them and you might be able to keep your battery in there. Also, you might try disabling laptop-mode from within Boot up manager?
-these are just some ideas from TheeMahns Tweek page. If you go into services and also B.U.M. and S.U.M there are some things in there that you might want to try and disable, I do recall something very specific to lap-top batteries in there. Just take a look.
