It was a funny picture to share, as soon as i made the screenshot the correct time was showing (1 hour and 5 minutes). Going to discharge it completely and charge it without turning the laptop on. Do the same again later this day or tommorow. I saw a post from (if i remembered right) Aravisian this week that if you do this twice you would calibrate the battery, i never did this before
Is this thread dead?
I have 0% on both internal batteries, 1 of them has only 93 or so cycles as I replaced it, I now see 'charging' but it has been on 0% for hours. If I uplug, the machine immediately shuts down.
I would check if the battery is plugged right. A scenario where the new battery is faulty has seen before. Do you have perchance a way to test the battery?
Hello everyone,
after using Zorin 16 Lite on my old laptop HP 430 G2 without difficulties, I change the hard drive for a SSD. It was very chaotic, but I managed after playing with the boot parameters in the BIOS. I had to reinstall Zorin, so I installed Zorin 17.2 Education for my son.
The problem now is that the battery is at 0% and does not charge, if I unplug the charger the laptop shutdown immediately.
The battery manager says:
Present Yes
Status Waiting for charge
Energy 0 Wh
Energy empty 0 Wh
Energy full loaded 42,6 Wh
Tension 14,8 V
...
So the battery is there, waiting to be charged
Thanks in advance for the potential help
Hello,
thanks for the reply. The answer is 6.8.0-45-generic
I am still new with Linux, I do not know what is ACPI.
I will be out all day without the computer, so I will not be able to answer before evening.
Have you checked for any kinks in the cable from the brick to the notebook? Is there any movement where the jack from the power supply is plugged into on the notebook?
In answer to your ACPI query:
ACPI
standard firmware interface for hardware configuration and power management by operating systems
ACPI is a power management specification developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba to unify and standardize the interaction between operating systems and hardware. It provides a system-level interface for detection, configuration, and power management of hardware components by the operating system.
ACPI enables:
Power management: ACPI allows the operating system to turn peripherals on and off, improving power consumption and extending battery life in portable devices.
Hardware status monitoring: ACPI makes hardware status information available to the operating system, enabling it to configure and manage hardware components efficiently.
Unified interface: ACPI provides a single, standardized interface for operating systems to interact with hardware, simplifying the process and improving compatibility.
In essence, ACPI is a crucial specification for modern computers, enabling effective power management and configuration of hardware components by the operating system.
In terms of extending battery life you should not let battery drain below 35% and not charge reach above 80%, as this extends the number of cycles. This is the only plus point of Samsung notebooks which has a charge limiter of 80% in the BIOS (but needs an app in Windows to activate it!)
thanks for the details.
The cable does not move, and it worked well before. Furthermore I have the feeling reading on the internet that problems with batteries is common with linux.
The battery, even dead, should charge a minimum and not stay at 0%.
Speaking from experience, having been misinformed by a registered Toshiba supplier when I was working was to charge the replacement battery, let it drain, and repeat twice over. The battery died. This would be correct with the old style of battery but not for Li-ion batteries ... and they stayed permanently at 0%!
